Kwanzza is an African based- cultural celebration for Black people so it would benift anyone who wants to reaffrim or teach thier children "cultural idenity"

Imo the only reason more Black people don't celebrate Kwanzza is because the white majority dont celebrate it. The article in the link you shared was just one womans view... the author failed to reconize that she is being excluded most of the time

I shared the article because it summed up my view on the holiday... I don't need a "black" alternative to Christmas... it's a religious holiday, heavily commercialized, but religious nonetheless and has nothing to do with race in my eyes. My education about Black/African history and culture is ongoing, I don't need a few days or a single month set aside to recognize where I come from. I could care less if white people started celebrating Kwanzaa by the masses, I still wouldn't. The founder of Kwanzaa wrote a book, The Quotable Karenga, and bashed Jesus/Christianity in it. No thanks.

You do know that Christmas is not in the bible or any other religious or holy piece of literature. But your thought process makes sense. It's what kept slaves, slaves.

Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus. And it urks me how black folks hold on so tight to massa's religion.

Kwanzaa was created by a nutcase who wanted to create a new religion under the disguise of an unified African holiday
