  4. Ok you stated you don’t believe Kwanzaa is a holiday.


    Why you asking others for their opinion, when you’re clearly going to stand by no.

  13. Statistically not very many of them though. Furthermore, it is a very new holiday.

  14. This prompt for this thread is not a racist one. My opposition to considering Kwanzaa to be a real holiday stems from TWO things: its novelty and its low amount of celebrants. I would believe it is a real, legitimate holiday if more people celebrated it or if it was older.

  15. Just because a low amount of people celebrate it. Shouldn’t strip them to right to celebrate Kwanzaa.

  16. Either you have not read anything I have written or you are purposefully interpreting my statements in an uncharitable manner. Anyone has the right to celebrate it. Anyone has the right to say this is a holiday-to-me or that this day is sacred to me and therefore I will celebrate it. I have no desire to stop people from celebrating Kwanzaa. They can celebrate the Festival of Captain Kirk (I just made that up) too if they so desire. Just because it is a holiday-to-them does not make it a legitimate, societal holiday. I celebrate certain holidays that some would consider illegitimate; that is fine. All men have a right to celebrate whatever they please, but it does not make their celebration a legitimate holiday.
