Do any black person know anyone who seriously celebrates kwanzaa?

im white i dont think blacks celebrate it "Kwanzaa is neither political nor religious and despite some misconceptions, is not a substitute for Christmas. It is simply a time of reaffirming African-American people, their ancestors and culture. Kwanzaa, which means "first fruits of the harvest" in the African language Kiswahili, has gained tremendous acceptance."

The truth about race is that race doesn't exist and is purely physical skin color and other features. All human beings are the same species, and there are no differences other than skin color and culture.

Yes I do know someone. My parents friends ( I call them my aunt and uncle although they aren't blood related) celebrate Kwanzaa. They started celebrating it about 5 years ago. It takes too much planning to celebrate Kwanzaa especially right after Christmas, when it starts. I like the concept of Kwanzaa though, which celebrates family and your African roots. And to the person who said they don't celebrate it because their family is Christian, it has nothing to do with religion at all, maybe you should look up the true meaning of Kwanzaa.

I am white and I know many people who celebrate it. I would guess about a dozen families. Most are people who are very much into art and culture and are inclined to celebrate their African heritage. I personally think it is a beautiful celebration and we would all do much to live by its seven principles. I celebrated the anticipation of it with friends just this past Wednesday. Habari gani? Umoja - Unity Kujichagulia -Self-Determination Ujima - Responsibility Nia - Purpose Kuumba - Creativity Imani - Faith (i'm missing one)

I'm black and I don't know anyone who celebrates it.

I knew ONE black person who did. He was my best friend when I was in a little kid, and we both went to "Africa" school, which was a prep school I went to for pre-school that taught us the history of black people in Africa and America in addition to normal curriculum. His family was very into the whole Afrocentric movement of the late 80's and I went to his house during kwanzaa one year.

I'm told by commercial marketers (i.e. Hallmark) that black people celebrate Kwanzaa, but none of the black people I know do. I know a LOT, people from the 'States, people from Africa, people from the Carribean. Nobody has ever alluded to the fact that they were personally celebrating Kwanzaa.

My sister celebrates Kwanzaa (African) and Three Kings Day (Latin). She leaves out Christmas because is such a materialistic holiday. We don't need our own section...it seems we're already popular on here. Peace.

I am black and I don't know any blacks who know what Kwanzaa is much less celebrate it. I don't know much about it myself. My family is christian and we always celebrate Christmas.
