From: "Gary Britt" 

I understand what your saying, but once I learned of this it just seems to
me the whole holiday of Kwanza is no different than if David Duke made up a
"Whitey Day Holiday" based it on fascist principles and then we
all stand around and pretend that yeah it deserves the same level of
treatment and recognition as Christmas, Hanukah, and Ramadan.    NOT.

This guy is perhaps worse than David Duke (more violent it would appear for
certain) and Kwanza is based upon the principles of communism.  In fact
Kwanzaa's 7 principles are exactly the same as the 7 principles of the
Symbionese Liberation Army.  I just don't think it deserves respect and the
people pushing don't usually know the truth about it.  I didn't know the
truth until this week.
