"Are you standing up for the founder of kwanzaa?" My posts to you required and require no clarification. They were to you and they were about what YOU said. They offered no opinion on "Kwanzaa". As to Kwanzaa, I am not very familiar with the entire history and probably neither is anyone on this thread. In Canada it is seldom encountered. I recently returned from a trip to the States to see family and I found it interesting in looking at a "Best Buy" computer sales paper that they offered holiday wishes in several languages. The first and most prominent greeting was "Happy Kwanzaa". That tells me that it is politically correct. Certainly, the idea that a non Judeo/Christian culture should wish to celebrate their own culture and beliefs is not anathema to reason or common-sense. As to the "founder", I have no comment. What I read on the internet does not give me a very clear picture of the movement. I will certainly condemn him for being a rapist, if he was one. I will not condemn him for being a left-winger (if he was one). America is not a one party system and democracy does not work that way. There is enough immorality in the world (rape, murder, dishonesty, fraud, and hurt) without condemning or demonizing anyone in a democratic republic for honoring their freedom of speech and of vote.
