What an absolutely amazing coincidence that Kwanza is right around Christmas time. It’s almost as if some black activist decided to make up a holiday for the express purpose of stealing the thunder of Whites.

“You have a holiday? So do we! And it’s about..uh..the harvest! And we..well we uh…were special robes! And light candles! Yeah, that’s it!”

“But wait a second, candles, robes, ancient African harvest rituals? None of that happened. You made it up out of whole cloth. Why not just say your ancestors celebrated Kwanza on the moon and be done with it?”

“It doesn’t matter! Facts don’t matter! Tradition! Proud black heritage! Wees all eeqwall! EEEEQWAAAL!”

When will America stop excusing this sort of behavior, simply because some favored group is doing it? It is nothing more than pure childishness. It she gets a lollipop, I want a lollipop.

Making up a holiday? Fine. But does no one find the timing of this “holiday” just the least bit suspicious?

I await the excuses you will make for this oh so wonderful group. After all, “excuse making” is one of the Seven Principles, isn’t it?

If you think the reason for Kwanza is for the purpose of "stealing the thunder of Whites" you are as nutty and paranoid as Bill O'Reiley and his war on the "war against Christmas." There are many holidays celebrated this time of the year and many of them predate Christmas. Christmas is as much a contrived holiday as all the rest. I celebrate Christmas, love Hannaka parties, and wish someone would invite me over for their Kwanza celebration. I've never been to one.
