Kwanzaa... [was: Troll got me (was: Is there no end)]

! ... whitey's holiday, and crackers are the enemy (their ! terms, not mine... I get "whitey"... I get "white bread"... but ! cracker?!? I would ask when visiting my inlaws... but I would ! just get my ass kicked, or worse, shot). Chris - Now, I'm a honkey (now what's the origin of that?) just like you... (like you couldn't tell by the name! :-) I think the term "cracker" is because, ISTR, crackers and bread made basically the same, except crackers don't have any yeast. Both light colored... ! As to the REAL reason for Kwanzaa, I have no idea, but I do ! know, around here it is entirely a racial thing, and the ! only people that really seem to take it seriously are the ! inner city high crime area Afican-Americans... which ! unfortuantly gives the whole thing a bad notion up here. Its ! a shame really, as I am sure there was a real reason for it, ! but like many other things, it has been badly perverted by a ! very very select group of people who decided to use it for ! their own agenda.
