THANK GOD, you're here to tell African Americans what would make better sense to celebrate.

Wow! Thanks for the attitude. I really appreciate it.

THANK GOD you're here to give me shit! I don't know what I would do without you.

I wasn't telling anyone what holiday to celebrate. I was merely trying to understand.

But thanks for correcting me.

But you deserve to be given SHIT for this comment.

I do not want to come across as offensive, but wouldn't it make more sense for African Americans who wanted to feel connected to an African culture to celebrate an already exisiting holiday?

then u say this..

RIIIIGHT. You're welcome.

Racist is too strong of a word. But the article is DAMN near close to it.

But I'm awfully suspicious of ANYTHING a person connect to FOXNews has to say. Calling it a CHUMP holiday tip toes the bigot line if you ask me.

Tip-toes and damn close are not racist. Synchronized swimming and chess tip-toe and come close to real sports, but real sports they are not.

I'm just saying that if you dislike someone, dislike him for the right reasons or "Racism" will have lost all its seriousness.

Did I actually tell anyone what specific holiday to celebrate. No, I don't think so.

But thanks!

I won't get into WHY the poster don't like each other.

Alot of people use racism in the wrong way. Especially the "reverse-racism" folks but that's another arguement.

But to BASH a holiday that CLEARLY has some importance to African-Americans (the ones who celebrate it are in the majority) comes off as a bigoted posting. and the article got the shredding it deserves.

basically you did.

Now do you want to go back and READ what you typed? Unless you can EXPLAIN that quote, I'd quit while I'm ahead.

The majority of African-Americans celebrate Kwanzaa?

And shred the article and the message but the racism card shouldn't be dealt unless it's deserving.

And I can't quite tell if you are saying the posting by Hoosier is bigoted. If so, I'd like to see how that is the case as well as defined by the word "bigoted".

No the majority of people who celebrate Kwanzaa are African-American


We've so FAR off the Racism card. I'm talking about being insenstive.

We both have our views so why even bother.

Listen, "Racism" or a derivation or a reference to it came up 3 times before I first posted. A lot of times people use the word "bigot" as a synonym for "Racist." This not only damages the history of victims of racism but also makes it difficult to deal with in the future. Am I wrong in that? That's all I'm saying.

I don't know anyone that celebrates Kwanzaa (blacks even) and I have never even heard any references in pop-culture (tv, books, papers, etc.) to non-black people celebrating it.
