I understand from history 99 percent of the BLACK population trace their roots back to WEST AFRICA. I also read that KWANZA was a celebration or religion of exclusively EAST AFRICA. How can they and others TWIST HISTORY like that??????

Kwanzaa is not a religion or something that really originated from Africa. It is very much American, so I'm not sure where you're getting your information. It's a celebration that allows African Americans to celebrate their heritage, even though they may not know where their ancestors are from, due to slavery. Kwanzaa was taken from different African cultures to give something African-Americans to identify with. So, there's no history-twisting involved really, so check your facts next time.

Most probably, that since they are black, they have the right to celebrate it.
