So how many of you fake ass black militants here actually celebrate Kwanzaa?

[Piff Tannen]

I don't if its true or not but isn't the creator of Kwanzaa a known FBI informant

 

[Versa]

Santa told me to tell you to fukk off.

 

[cornercommission2k12]

well me and my family celebrate it, and have for some time now

before you be an idiot and dismiss the celebration, take time to discover the principles, learn the meaning and understand the importance of instilling that into your children.

we find it as a great alternative against the commercialized death day that is christmas

but of course black people wont jump on it until white people say its okay to do it so whatever

my uncle is rastafarian and he and his fam have celebrated it for years as well..

The 2 african ladies that live in my complex have no idea what Kwanzaa is...

Maybe because it's not an African Holiday, and even the people who created it, never proclaimed it to be an African Holiday.

You have a point, I'm not really excited for Holidays or anything, but I'd probably celebrate that w/ my kids over Christmas. Christmas today is far from what the Church wanted it to be and from it's origins of being a Pagan Holiday.

I thought Kwanzaa was real and had sentimental meaning

 

[duck]

I don't, but to be fair all holidays are made up.

Not new year's

 

[The Nigerian]

Naw, it's just some "Fvck white people" type shyt.

 

[Patriarch]

Never realized @The Nigerian was such a spook. This nikka makes Anothergirl look like Angela Davis.

Pretty much. Bottom line is Columbus didn't discover America, the pilgrims killed the Indians and Jesus wasn't born on the 25th. Either way let a nikka enjoy the day off and give his kids some presents.

 

[Metta World Movement]

Do you even get gifts for Kwanzaa?

I can't imagine any parent going up to their kid and tryna replace Christmas with some holiday where you don't get some modern, expensive-ass gifts.....kid would straight-up look at them like

Really? Spook? Have a seat old man

No its not some fukk white people shyt and its house negro type of c00n to still be in 2012 thinking that any form of expression centered around african principle is black chip on shoulder

Even more c00nish to think you are expressing freedom by celebrating and involving yourself in everything a slave master taught you how to do.

There is a reason the first thing the slave master stripped from us and would kill us over is 1. Us educating ourselves and 2. Us expressing any form of persaonal pride in our culture and traditions. Those slave owners understood that to keep a people down you have to strip them of pride in themselves and their own feeling of independence. Now the only things we feel free to express is hip hop and that's only the party money weed ignorant part of that. Basically past that everything we practice came from white slave owners. Then we want to bash any black person who has the balls to do something for themselves. How dare he not do what white people taught us to do.

Slave owners understood that you keep a people down by keeping them ashamed of themselves. And in 2012 all these years later we don't feel validated unless we do what white people do

Black excellence is more than just voting for obama listening to rap and going to tyler perry movies. If we are in 2102 and we still feel ashamed or embarassed to practice anything of our own ancestry, how free are we? No other people in the world have this problem. Asians, mexicans, puerto ricans, europeans etc, learn history from their perspective and practice traditions based on their own idenity. We are the only people that that practice everything a slave owner taught us. Yet we think we doing something right, but we have nothing to show for it
