[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Black and do not celebrate Kwanzaa and have only known one family who did.  Yes, it is a loser holiday.  I wouldn't get angry if someone asked me about it but I would be a little annoyed.  I mean, come on, Blackness and pseudo-African principles are not the center of my life.  The community tolerates and encourages the treatment of women as second-class citizens, IMHO, so I am not tempted to get delve deeper into communal values.[/quote]

Dude!  I LOVE you!!!!

I was raised in the west, so much of this racial stupidness attitude (from both sides) is rather foreign to me.  Out here we take people for who they are and what they make of themselves.  We don't particularly care about a persons heritage.  I can always tell when I meet an implant, because they start judging right away based on what a person looks like.

Come on, can't we all just be Americans?  Can't we look back at our heritage as "that is where I came from" and firmly embrace the present of who we are?  I can trace my heritage back, but today I am an American as patriotic as they come.  I'm not going to run out and start celebrating some made-up holiday...nor am I going to even dig up a REAL holiday out of my past ancestory to make me "feel" more connected or whatever BS the next person want's to call it.

Me, I want to move FORWARD.  Make this nation a better place.  Learn the lessons of past mistakes so that we can avoid them in the future!  Be Americans....proud not of everything in our history but proud of what we have achived and what we will achieve.

If you came to (or were dragged to) this country, embrace it.  Otherwise go back to wherever it is you came from.  Because making whatever you "were" the center of your life only destroys this nation.  Living where you "were" only gets you stuck there.  And God knows we have been stuck in stupid attitudes for long enough.[/quote]
