I guess I do not understand the 34 year old "tradition" (I really do not consider it a holiday) of Kwanzaa. I know its basis - to incorporate African traditions into American customs...but...why? This is not Africa. This is America. Oh let me guess...it is all about those traditions being implemented by some "white guy"...

OK for one i was born in Africa lived in several African and European countries never heard of Kwanzaa so yeah it's a load of Crap. If Blacks want to have a meaningful social, cultural, connection with Africa. They can start by studying Geography, History, and Theology.
Especially since Some of the giants of modern thought we Africans
ie Augustine, Tertullian. etc...

You don't really need to know or care about Kwanazaa. Just understand that some people find it meaningful and important and let them live their lives as they choose (as long as they aren't hurting anybody else).
After all - Christianity was just a silly little cult consisting of a couple Jews once upon a time. And Christmas was only a 34 year old tradition way back when.
Happy Holidays,
