Personally, I don't celebrate Kwanzaa because
1. Ron Karenga was an informant against the Black Panthers so his creation of a Unifying Holiday seems pretty contradictory.
2. The principles should be practiced and taught throughout the year. Not just in a week after Christmas so we can get a stamp.
However, that is just my opinion. There are Festivals that celebrate the Harvest in most countries in Africa and it is my belief that the Kwanzaa Celebration was a culmination of all of these celebrations, not just the celebration of 1 country. If people want to celebrate the Principles, isn't that better than what could be going on?
Thanks,
M
