Quit giggling. I know the reason it is a text message is because he probably couldn’t pronounce Kwanzaa (or Nguzo Saba, for that matter). Here goes:
I send greetings to those celebrating Kwanzaa.
Kwanzaa celebrates the traditional African values of unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. From December 26th to January 1st, people of African descent gather to renew their commitment to these seven principles, known as Nguzo Saba, and give thanks for the blessings of family, community, and culture. Kwanzaa is also a time for Africans and African-Americans to honor their common heritage by participating in events based on early harvest gatherings called matunda ya kwanza, or first fruits.
Kwanzaa, tradition since 1966. Who do you think had the job of first explaining to Bush what Kwanzaa was, and that, yes, because of the identity politics of the country, he did have to make a message to people who celebrate collectivist nonsense like ‘collective work and responsibility and cooperative economics.’ What the hell is cooperative economics?
At any rate, Happy Kwanzaa.
