Perhaps there is reason to be concerned when you have TV stations wishing you a "Happy Kwanzaa" and people buy into it. Society seems WAY too accomadating at times. There ya go.

He was a staunch marxist and pro-communist wacko. He's also a convicted felon. His choice of Swahili words then make sense, according to your comments of the reactions from the Tanzanian classmates. There's no basis for this holiday. Kwanzaa was made up by a 1960’s black radical (can’t remember his name) that was a member of the black panther movement.

If it were to change to be a celebration of another kind rather than some ancient African tradition than I would be perfectly fine with it. Here in Calfornia we get some Kwanzaa overload and yet most people don't know it's origins. And the blog I quote makes a good point in how Kwanzaa suddenly changed to a celebration with Christmas rather than against once it wasn't flying to well with blacks who, at least in word, are Christians. Your story seems to back up my comments about Africans who scratch their head when it comes to this holiday. That’s alright…I’ll call it a load of crock as it is presently sold unto others.
