Kwanzaa debunked...
Good read, I got a kick out of this part:

"Kenya and Tanzania—where Swahili is spoken—are several thousand miles away, about as far from Ghana as Los Angeles is from New York. Yet in celebrating Kwanzaa, African-Americans are supposed to employ a vocabulary of such Swahili words as "kujichagulia" and "kuumba."

This makes about as much sense as having Irish-Americans celebrate St. Patrick's Day by speaking Polish."
