As posted by Ben Gruagach on MysticWicks.commediamatters.org/items/200412090004Why? Because it is a newer celebration than Christmas! "I guess Robertson is unaware of the many different Pagan cultures that existed before Christianity came along that had their own festivals around the winter solstice. It makes Christmas the new kid on the block, and according to Robertson's logic, therefore Christmas must be a fraud."

Kwanzaa isn't pagan. It was adopted by African Americans to celebrate their heritage a realtively short time ago, and is practiced by a good number of Christians. His allegations seem somewhat construed, though.

Does the fool not know that Kwanzaa is not a religious holiday? Anyway, here is a great website to learn about Kwanzaa The Official Kwanzaa Website |

My family normally celebrates with the church. My aunt said the church already had a celebration. So I was bummbed b/c nobody told me.
Tambiko? It doesn't talk about it on the site?

All it says is that it is a "libation" (drink).

Yeah, I saw that. Well, I looked in the picture and it only showed water... when I went to a Kwanzaa celebration at UCONN a few years back, I couldn't really see what was going on. But I did hear a speach followed by an inspirational by Dick Gregory (I consider him a mini version of Martin Luther King Jr.).
