What gripes me about Kwanzaa is not that people celebrate it...heck, anyone can celebrate whatever they want. But it drives me crazy that the media acts like this is a traditional holliday that has been in existence for eons, celebrated by Africans and the American slaves. Your Food Network show is a prime example.
Yup. And the govt. even adds to the lie by issuing "Kwanzaa" postage stamps.
I agree. Personally, I would be interested to know what percentage of African-Americans even really celebrate or ackowledge "Kwanzaa". My suspicion is that it's a rather small percentage, but without a poll there's no way to know for sure.
