Kwanzaa keeps people of African origin from feeling left out around Christmas time if they refuse to be Uncle Toms and celebrate Whitey's holiday. During Kwanzaa, black people dress up in clothes that don't match and dance around senselessly. This is very unusual. Kwanzaa has its own flag (pictured). To celebrate all the diversity of the holiday, it contains all the colors of the rainbow, excepting orange, yellow, blue, pink, purple, and gold. And it adds black for good measure, of course. The remaining colors are surely used by some flag somewhere and thus haven't been shortchanged.

  • Kwanzaa keeps people of African origin from feeling left out around Christmas time if they refuse to be Uncle Toms and celebrate Whitey's holiday. During Kwanzaa, black people dress up in clothes that don't match and dance around senselessly. This is very unusual. Kwanzaa has its own flag (pictured). To celebrate all the diversity of the holiday, it contains all the colors of the rainbow, excepting orange, yellow, blue, pink, purple, and gold. And it adds black for good measure, of course. The remaining colors are surely used by some flag somewhere and thus haven't been shortchanged. The colors of the Kwanzaa flag are deeply symbolic. They symbolize Kwanzaa. To avoid confusion, the same flag is the national flag of two separate sub-Saharan countries. And they don't mind a bit. Kwanzaa can be spelled in many different ways, not unlike the given names of black newborns. Blacks who have embraced Islam often begin the word with a Q, because it seems vaguely appropriate. Apostrophes are sometimes inserted into the name, either for dramatic effect or because the writer has a nervous tic.
