Furthermore, this professor was a Marxist and the celebrations of this "holiday" emphasize collectivism, as may be expected. Furthermore, the term "Kwanzaa" is Swahili, from East Africa. African Americans are basically West African in origin, largely from what is now Nigeria and its neighbors. Its celebration by African Americans is equivalent to Slavic Americans celebrating St. Patrick's Day to commemorate the history and heritage of the Slavic peoples.
LOL, but oh so true.
