Celebration
- Kukaribisha (Welcoming)
- Kuumba (Remembering)
- Kuchunguza Tena Na Kutoa Ahadi Tena (Reassessment and Recommitment)
- Kushangilla (Rejoicing)
- Tamshi la Tambiko (Libation Statement)
- Tamshi la Tutaonana (The Farewell Statement)
in other words, kwanza is a completely made up and ridiculous attempt by the black community at feeling special. AGAIN. We're black, and somebody in my ancestry came from Africa. Now we need our own holiday. waaaaaaaah. I wonder if a Karamu feast is funded by the Foodshelf or just tax dollars hard at work ie: food stamps. Imagine a peanut butter, egg and tuna casserole with a side of cheese block. Served with ice cold milk and orange drink. awesome. wooptee. yeah.
