Happy Kwanzaa, everybody.

[Starrchild]

As can anyone else - I'm just having fun.

In all seriousness, I think Kwanzaa is just as valid a holiday as any other - most holidays had to be invented by somebody. I still have yet to have met anybody who actually celebrates Kwanzaa, so I figure I might as well give it a shot.

Bingo.

Is Kwanzaa celebrated outside of the USA ?

 

[TheDarkReaver]

I don't think so, I've only heard of it through American TV like Futurama.

it always seemed to me like a pretty racist holiday...

How? Is it excluding non-Black people from celebrating?

To address the issue of "zomg, why is it that white pride is racist but (insert minority) pride is okay?", white pride has historically been associated with exclusion and white supremacy. There's nothing wrong with celebrating and being proud of white cultures; for instance, my college has an Italian Club and an Irish/Gaelic Club.
