Posted by SilverFox on Wed Dec 27 02:02:32 2006, in response to Re: Kwanzaa begins today, posted by Edwards! on Tue Dec 26 23:11:11 2006. Kwanzaa was invented and contrived to celebrate SOMETHING during the month of December that wasn't as whitebread as Christmas or ::horrors:: as Jewish as Hanukkah by malcontents who didn't want to be seen celebrating holidays that they deemed "weren't theirs" due to tortured arguments about the racial meanings behind those holidays. So they adopted the Hanukkah menorah to light candles over a period of days, and adopted the Christmas tenets that amount to good will toward your fellow man, and bingo! They have a "holiday" they can call their own and that they can celebrate that isn't Christmas or Hanukkah, and that they can browbeat people into accepting as a legitimate "third holiday" of the season, lest they be considered racist. Ingenious. |
