I NEVER said Kwanzaa was a part of African culture
YOU said African Americans "kii at anything African"
that's where my not seeing an abundance of Black people laughing at African culture came from.
If anything it didn't make sense to mention "anything African"
when Kwanzaa isn't "African" it's "African-American"
African, African American, etc. are all subjective.
If anything African is more factual, it is science based. I see African American as a label. Not an offensive label, or one that should be closely questioned, but it is a label.
Kwanzaa is a holiday which celebrates and honors AFRICAN heritage.Not "African American" heritage, which includes the slave rape blood which is in most of our genomes.
You brought the word "culture" into the discussion. Not I.
Culture and heritage are two totally different things. You can be of African descent and have 100% heritage in your veins, and not know ONE thing about the culture of the country or countries from which you descend.
