Who, what, where, and how? These are questions that we need to ask of this so called holiday. To find out about the 'founder' of this so called holiday go to these links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maulana_Karenga http://www.nathanielturner.com/karenga2.htm Read for yourself and then tell me is this something we all as Americans should be celebrating. Do a little more research WWAY before you try shoving something like this down our collective throats. What ever happened to "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" and "One Nation, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All" Nowhere does it mention Race, Color, or Creed. We just got through celebrating Christmas. Remember, Joy to the World and Peace on Earth and Good-will to Men. The founder of Kwanzaa believes in "The sevenfold path of blackness is think black, talk black, act black, create black, buy black, vote black, and live black." If you want to get rid of Bigotry, get rid of using Color to describe people, creeds and religions.
