[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer the original question, my family has celebrated Kwanza in the past.  I celebrated Kwanza with friends this year.  It can be a very emotional and spiritual bonding for those who are of like minds.  More people celebrate and or recognize Kwanza than people think.  However you must be invited to celebrate the event with others.  And you only celebrate this event with people who you want to share it with, as many people can be judgmental or downright ignorant, as has been shown on this thread.  We will not be letting it go.  And yes, we also celebrate Xmas to the extent one can separate the consumerism from the true meaning.  [/quote]

You must be invited?  You can't decide to begin celebrating it on your own?  And I presume finding it absurd makes one ignorant?  I fail to see the point in connecting to my "African roots"--nobody in my immediate family has lived in Africa in 200 years.  And certainly there are plenty of Caucasians mixed in as well, but I'm not out there celebrating Irish and German holidays, either.
