The All-in-One Kwanzaa Thread

[Yellow Timbers]

Tee-hee, bumping pads thread to keep it alive and now this one. The cries for attention are deafening.

~Season's snickers~

I think you better check your history. The inventors of democracy and foremost contributors to medicine, philosophy, mathematics, education etc. etc. were true Greeks, not ancient Africans. As my mom used to say when we said something really off the wall, "What school you went?"

Imhotep was building the first great pyramids of the Old Kingdom while the Greeks were still figuring out pottery.

Did your school have any books?

Amidst the usual bickering, I wanted to stop and take the time to send well~wishes to all who celebrate Kwanzaa as it begins today.

The first principle of Kwanzaa is Umoja which means Unity in family, community, and nation.

Rather than start a new thread, I thought I'd continue our own little Locals tradition now that many of the negative types have gone by wishing all who celebrate Joyous Kwanzaa 2011 and to gauge how these forums have improved in terms of actual discussions.

Or as I call it ~ "The way we were."

Happy Kwanza, Octoburn. I was wondering if anyone would notice this year.

I need a Festivus Pole.

We could definitly do some "airing of the grievences" around this place.

The cultural holiday of Kwaanza was explained this morning on WJZ by David and his Mom, Dr. Martin. He explained that the holiday is for Africans and those of the African diaspora. So, happy Ujamaa!

They have a similar pole at the establishment where I celebrate. But it is secured on both sides and the ladies that use it are very talented.
