Kamala Harris wishes everyone a happy Kwanzaa

What is wrong with you? You really hate this holiday, I get that.

Let the holiday live rent free in your head. I barely think about it, except when people complain that it shouldn't be celebrated, because it's fake.

 

The Irish are not a race of people. There are different races of Irish. Furthermore:

"
Saint Patrick's Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick, is a cultural and religious celebration held on 17 March, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick, the foremost patron saint of Ireland
"

Celebrating St. Patrick's Day is not celebrating race. Jeeze. If you think it is, you might want to register as a Democrat.

 

How many centuries after the birth of Jesus did it take for there to be national holidays with days off or cities/states recognizing Christmas as an official holiday?

 

Tell that to the millions of Irish people who celebrate being Irish on March 17. I dare you to tell them they are wrong.

LMAO.

 

This is a pointless statement that adds does not reject my claim that Kwanza is a fake holiday as it does not conform to the very definitions of what a holiday is, for one. Curious Always brought up the sense that a holiday can be something in which people have a day off. I am simply asking for when Kwanza became a national, state, or local holiday in which people have off specifically because of it.

 

All holidays are made up. That's how they are created. Including Christmas. If people consider it a holy day in some way, it's a holiday.

 

Best Wishes!

PS. Proud to be an Aspie!

 

So now you're making guesses at what "the millions of Irish people" think what St. Patrick's Day is, even if that is not what St. Patrick's Day actually is supposed to be celebrating? That is your argument?

Jeeze.

This is sad.

 

Sure, they can think it is a holiday day; but you can still think something and be wrong about it. In this case, people like you, Curious Always, and the rest of the perpetual defenders of Kwanza can all think that Kwanza is a holiday, but that does not make it so. I can think I am a multi-billionaire who can fly to the ends of the universe and back, but that does not make it so.

These arguments for the legitimacy of Kwanza are going from bad to worse.

 

She forgot to say LGTBQXYZ, silent H. I think that's where it is now. Not sure if they added any more letters since I've last checked.

 

And unless I've missed something, you have no proof that she and her family didn't recognize/celebrate Kwanzaa along with Christmas.

 

Not cool. LGBT, like Aspies should be proud of who they are.

I accept Liberalism up to the point where Liberals take steps to control my freedom.

 

Unless you literally think that there are magic fairies that bestow supernatural legitimacy on "holidays," you know this is a bull **** argument. No, that's too generous. Maybe if bull **** were capable, itself, of raising **** cattle that, in turn, produced their own ****, we'd have something as bad: bull **** squared. Opinions about whether or not a day is special are OPINIONS. They are SUBJECTIVE. Whether or not I can fly is objective. Whether or no I have a million dollars is objective. Whether a day is special is subjective. Is it made up? Sure. So is Christmas. Christmas wasn't celebrated until more than 3 centuries after Jesus was born, it has nothing to do with his actual birth, and it mostly stole from local traditions and from other religious holidays . . . just like Kwanzaa. But god forbid someone you disagree with celebrate something, right? I demand to talk to Christmas's manager!

 

Celebrating Christmas is not mandatory -- as a Jew I do not.

 

Why does it have to be a national holiday for someone to wish others a happy Kwanzaa?

 

Blah, blah, blah.

And more blah.

You seem to be taking this personal, because you know that Kwanza is a fake holiday. It does not meet any of the senses or subsenses of the word "holiday." It is thus a fake holiday. And only black people, no other race, has tried to make a holiday about their race. No other race does this. Like I said, thankfully, most blacks don't celebrate this joke of a holiday. In fact, according to the "National Retail Federation, just 2 percent of Americans say they celebrate" the fake holiday of Kwanza. (1)

Ah, so you never met a Jewish person before. That explains a lot. But sure, no other race or ethnicity has any holidays meant to unite their diaspora. Suuuuuuuuuure.

 

You need to keep up with the conversation. I argued that Kwanza is not a holiday because it is not a holy day. Curious Always counterargued that a holiday can also be a day in which people have off. To which I questioned them, asking, "When did Kwanza become a national holiday?" I've further asked when did it become a state or local holiday. And you just interject yourself into the middle, asking why Kwanza has to be a national holiday.

Please don't interject yourself into the conversation without reading the context of the conversation. If you are curious why I brought up national holidays, perhaps read my posts before that to get a clue.

 

Why are we talking about me supposedly never meeting a Jewish person, to defend Kwanza. Jeeze. Just when I thought the arguments to defend Kwanza could not get worse, you knock it out of the ballpark once again.

 

Which again has nothing to do with being able to wish someone a happy Kwanzaa.

 

If you understood the post you quoted, you'd understand why I brought it up. I honestly don't know how I can make it any simpler for you if you don't understand, though.

 

And yet here you are getting all emotional over it.

 

You can say, "Happy Kwanza" till the cows come home. I can say, "Happy Blava-Chaza-Hinkle-Thorn," too.

But Blava-Chaza-Hinkle-Thorn is not a holiday. And Kwanza is not one either. Their both equal in their fakeness, when it comes to being a holiday.

 

Any day now he is going to let us in on the magic fairy court that determines which holidays are real and which aren't. I can't wait.

 

So let us in on the magic fairy court that determines which holidays are real and which aren't. You keep hinting you have access to them, so stop playing coy.
