This holiday supposingly celebrates African roots. I have asked people from Africa what they think of this and they say it is rediculous and only causes more segregation.

We celebrate Kwanzaa every year and invite guests over on the last day, Imani (purpose). I would love to have some ideas on some festive and earthy ways to decorate the house. Thanks!

DEFINITION OF KWANZAA Kwanzaa is a unique African American celebration with focus on the traditional African values of family, community responsibility, commerce, and self-improvement. Kwanzaa is neither political nor religious and despite some misconceptions, is not a substitute for Christmas. It is simply a time of reaffirming African-American people, their ancestors and culture. Kwanzaa, which means "first fruits of the harvest" in the African language Kiswahili, has gained tremendous acceptance. Since its founding in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, Kwanzaa has come to be observed by more than18 million people worldwide, as reported by the New York Times. When establishing Kwanzaa in 1966, Dr. Karenga included an additional "a" to the end of the spelling to reflect the difference between the African American celebration (kwanzaa) and the Motherland spelling (kwanza).
Kwanzaa is based on the Nguzo Saba (seven guiding principles), one for each day of the observance, and is celebrated

Why is everyone told that they have to celebrate this artificial "holiday" when it has no history, and when it has no relevance?
