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.

I amtemptd to make random phone calls to known black neighborhoods in my area and ask. I don't think it is a very large number, either.

I think some give it lip service if they get time off or special recognition. Most, however, celebrate the same holidays we do.

Public schools here push it, however. It drives me nuts because they act like it is an ancient holiday. It is not.

Being that a very high percentage of the black population are practicing Christians (higher % then whites) I would tend to agree with you
