Kwanzaa Origin/Discussion

This is a description I found via Google:

[ QUOTE ]
Kwanzaa (Quansa) is a holiday celebrated by many African-Americans. It is held December 26th through January 1st. It was started in 1966 by Doctor Maulana Karenga, Professor at the California State University, Long Beach, California.

My thoughts: Kwanzaa's underlying purpose is to provide a secular diversion to and subsequent downplay of the Christmas celebration, with the ultimate aim to weaken the strong Christian identity of the African American Community.

Discuss.
