Pan-African celebration started in the 60's. Was supposed to be an alternative to Christmas. But was eventually made into a holiday to be celebrated by all African people/descendants of the African Diaspora, even those who celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah.

:patrice: But it's American right? I'm Central-African and have been around Africans my whole life, I've never heard of Kwaanza outisde of :hamster:or the-coli

It's not an african holiday... and africans don't celebrate it because it's for US in the diaspora... they celebrate the ones made by romans n shyt.


I like the ideas behind it. 'We' are celebrating it.. but as usual I'm like whatever about it. I don't even participate in bday's.

If there is food I'm there tho... even thanksgiving.. shyt , not eating wont bring those natives back to life.

Also, my peps in African aren't from a Swahili speaking area and this is from that train of thought.

Yeah, it's American.

IMHO, I'd much rather give my children gifts on a holiday created by a brother than one created in Europe by Romans.

Whatever makes you feel better breh :yeshrug:as long as y'all don't portray it as an "African" thing

BTW Christmas under its current form wans't invented in Europe, but in the US

They are all made holidays up breh.
I never celebrated this, barely celebrate Christmas, just another day off to me.
Christmas in its current form was created by Macy's and all those corps that wanted us to buy their crap. I consider Valentine's day to be a Hallmark holiday but I sure as hell demand March 14 to be celebrated.
