"Kwanzaa practitioners of 30 years ago were dashiki-wearing "cultural nationalists" who sported huge Afros or bald heads and latched onto things African with a spiritual hunger. In a humorously candid admission in 1978, Karenga said he created Kwanzaa with such Afro-centric people in mind.
" "People think it's African. But it's not. I wanted to give black people a holiday of their own. So I came up with Kwanzaa...."

"Look, honey, Che and Courtney sent us a Kwanzaa card.""What the heck is a Kwanzaa card?"
"I don't know. Maybe they've gotten into some kind of New Age thing. They're funny like that."
"Well, don't invite them to our Christmas party. They might feel out of place."
