    This isn't true. Kwanzaa started in California in the late 1960's.

    Actually, it's not. It's pretty specific, that it's an African American thing.
    Thanks for your support.
    If you're driving through a park in the summer, and, see a banner pointing to the Smith Family Reunion, do you just assume they want you to join in the celebration, as well?

    At my daughter's school's "Holiday Family Night" the Kwanzaa table was a big hit.
    I'm just here to make people laugh. And to confuse people. Oh, and to irritate people.

    Invited

    I have hosted and have been invited to many Kwannza celebrations on many different college campuses, organizations, businesses, and groups. I like how college campuses use this as an opportunity to educate the community on all diverse holidays.

    Thank you, yes, it is such a nice opportunity for many to learn from another culture. I always like to use food to introduce other cultures to less diverse groups. Food can work wonders to bridge the gap and teach understanding.

    White

    White privilege is negative. All colleges celebrate the majority holiday of Christimas in addition to all of the other minority celebrations to educate it's diverse community.

    White, male, Christian, heterosexual privilege seems to be quite strong in the Buffalo region. I guess I am used to living in more diverse areas. Challenges are always good to learn from.

    One should never discriminate against the majority because then they feel cheated and don't want to help with the educational process and tend to abuse their privilege.

    White history has been mostly taught in the history books, this is slowly changing which still keeps the white history and adds all other racial and ethnic groups.

    You are a racist.
