Sorry for a dumb question, but what exactly is Kwanzaa? Is it from Africa (like a harvest festival)? Is it religious? |

Maybe you should have said it is a holiday created to make a certain group of people feel special. |

They can believe that if they want to, but there would still be a difference. Christians started celebrating Christmas because of their religious beliefs, and you can think of that what you will, but...
...Kwanzaa was created because Karenga wanted to be different. |

Being based in science does not mean it isn't fictitious. Being fictitious doesn't mean it isn't based in science. Anyway Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Maulana Karenga, a convicted felon, who says it was created to give “Blacks an opportunity to celebrate themselves”. It is a celebration of racism. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Every day is my day. White Middle-class Englishman day. We get together and laugh at those less fortunate than we are, which is pretty much everyone. |

I'll tell you, I know some white British peers--and they laugh at everybody and think they are better than everybody--and they are deadly serious about it. |
