Jonathan Capehart's column today: "I can't stand Kwanzaa." This is exactly the sort of vicious and ultimately meaningless cultural conversation the internet needs to have.
Jonathan Capehart's column today: "I can't stand Kwanzaa." This is exactly the sort of vicious and ultimately meaningless cultural conversation the internet needs to have.
Glenn Grothman, a Wisconsin state senator since 2005, proclaimed in a press release late last week that Kwanzaa, the holiday designed to give blacks their own Christmas and Hanukkah equivalent, is nothing but a left-wing scam to divide blacks and whites. Because what better way to begin the new year than with some good and very old fashioned race baiting? Here's an excerpt from Grothman's release:
You people have nothing better to do this week than recount your awful experiences from the holiday that just occurred. Leave your tales of woe in the comments of our Holiday Horror Story post. The winner will be decided tomorrow!
Ever wonder just what in the world Kwanzaa is? Well wonder no more for these kids are going to school you on the fundamental principals of Kwanzaa.
Now that we have safely arrived at our destinations the real fun begins. It's time to terrify with your tales of holidays gone horribly awry. The tree is up, let's set it on fire with a candle from the Menorah!
