In case anyone doesn't remember the "roots" of this monstrosity foisted on the Black Americans:

Yes, it is a made up holiday. there is a river in Africa which nobody there celebrates as a holiday, yet some here think it is such.

Hey! I take full advantage of every holiday, made up or not. Any reason to celebrate is a good reason. All holidays are made up and quite frankly, I can't get enough of them. Now that I'm retired every day is a holiday. Some people just don't know how life works. :)

Ands its creator was a convicted felon.

I sort of knew it was made up ... and stupid ... and now I know the how & why! Thanks. I think that today I will forget Kwaansa and just enjoy my birthday ... number 67!

At least the made - up holiday of Festivus makes sense.

Good day for a birthday! Have a great one.

Any day you wake up in Africa, should be considered a Holiday!

If Kwanzaa is a made up holiday, is Ebonics a made up language... ?:rolleyes:

Congrats, RevRay you finally caught up to me. I hope that you enjoy this one and at least 30 more. Hot damn, another reason to celebrate!

Ebonics is black english. When white people use it it's called pidgin English. Down south it's redneck spoken here. It's somewhat similar to Jockoese, but not quite as easy to decipher. :)

[CJB]

Ebonics is black English, in the USA. When whites use it, its called a racial slur.....

is Ebonics a made up language... ?:rolleyes:


Pretty much. Almost nobody who has any knowledge of language looks upon Ebonics as anything else other than poor/ghetto/uneducated grunts. Linguists laugh when the uneducated call it a language.

total BS

While Anne C writes an entertaining article, I could give a rat's a** about Kwanzaa. To each his own.
