In case it wasn't obvious, the whole holiday is a watered down, de-radicalized version of the black power. for example, the concept of Ujamma in Kwanzaa means 'co-operative economics'. Basically, helping other black people and maintaining black businesses and black charity. Too bad that's not what it means, it's actually the term for Nyerere's radical socialist program in Tanzania.
the only Kwanzaa thing i've ever seen was a big stupid display outside of Wall Street, behind their police protection barricade
