True or False about Kwanzaa?
Is it just me or does it seem that Kwanzaa is a made up holiday solely so that African American's wont celebrate a "white" holiday? Isn't that racism, and further dividing the racial lines? I don't want to assume this so if someone could enlighten me I would appreciate it.

you are 100% correct, if we were to take a field trip to africa and told some tribesmen happy kwanzaa, they wouldnt know what the F were talking about

Actually Kwanzaa is a Swahili word meaning new Harvest and was a celebration to the Gods for a new and good Harvest.I agree that it is a racially divisive element of black identity that was started like so many liberal ideas with good intentions that was suppose to give blacks more pride in the lives. The trouble with good intentions is like the old saying the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.But no matter the Black community is basically Christian and has rejected the celebration of kwanzaa pretty much..

yes, in the U.S. it is.
I don't know much about the holiday, but I do know they celebrate it in Africa.
I'm sorry but most african americans have never even been to Africa.
I'm kind of sick of people being all like "my homeland this...my people that..."
