I used to celebrate Kwanzaa back in the 90s, matter of fact the church I used to attend would host a Kwanzaa event during one of the 7 nights of Kwanzaa (usually Umoja night) during a citywide Kwanzaa festival.
However, as the years rolled on and my Africentric pro-black militant spirit began waning, my desire to celebrate Kwanzaa did so also. My moving to a church which refused to recognize Kwanzaa at all for non-Biblical based reasons sealed the deal for me and I have never looked back.
IMHO Kwanzaa, while it had good intentions, is a bogus and pseudo-African holiday.
