I don't like eating a celery stick with my buffalo wings. That's why I use blue cheese to cool down those bad boys.
who celebrates kwanza these days for fucks sake? It's merry christmas. Saying season's greetings is okay I guess but saying happy holidays makes you sound like an arrogant prick who's trying way too hard to be cool or "meta".
tl;dr
it's merry christmas you hipster neckbeard.

I agree that the war on Christmas is incredibly asinine and people should take the brooms out of their asses, but Kwanzaa is a legitimate holiday for African Americans and should be treated with the same respect as Christmas or Hanukkah.

I agree with you if people actually celebrate it. I just have not myself seen it out there. If it is out there like you say, then by all means, yes I'll respect it. But it's kind of like this, DC Comics has Superman and Batman and Wonder Woman.
I'm not saying you can't celebrate Superman (Hanukkah) or Wonder Woman (Kwanza), I'm just saying that going out of your way to make a war on Batman is really asinine when he's got all the movies made after him and mostly everyone celebrates him.

I'm not actually sure how anyone could think there is some war on christmas though. Are you a Rick Perry voter?
You should say "happy holidays" because it's arrogant to pretend Jews' and blacks don't exist.

also, are you actually comparing religion to which super hero people like?
Have you ever met a jew in your life?
I wonder what is going to happen when you meet a black person for the first time.

I should say merry christmas because those are my beliefs and if you don't believe that, you should respect my belief as I would yours and reply with a "happy hanukkah" if that is what you believe in. I will not be offended. Also since when was it assumed that blacks didn't believe in christmas?
*Edit
If you get offended by someone saying "Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanza," or any other thing despite your beliefs, you're just looking for something to be offended by.
Wasn't Kwanzaa invented like 40 years ago and is basically bits of stuff crudely bolted together?
There's something awkward about it too considering Kwanzaa is a Swahili word (an East-African language), whereas American blacks are all from West Africa?

I'm atheist so I don't really celebrate Christmas for Christ, I celebrate because it's great to buy things. So maybe I'm biased.

Well then when I tell you Merry Christmas, don't insult my belief or feel offended. Just respond with yours ie "Season's Greetings, or Happy People Gifting you shit." And I will be thankful none the less :P

Well it's rooted in fact. The vast majority of black people in the Americas (not just the USA, but in the Caribbean, Latin America, etc) are descended from West Africans. Relatively very few Blacks in the Americas are descended from people in East Africa.

black nationalism really couldnt be literal and exact in its adoption of African symbology because of the nature of slavery so they went with generalized Afrocentric stuff up to and including islam. the idea wasnt to look for a preexisting identity somewhere else, it was to renew or awaken the identity of black americans as a new "nation" within a nation.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;47421362]There isn't a war on Christmas. It's not even an issue. A bunch of cranky old white people made it up to have something to complain about.
Nobody is taking Christmas away, I can fucking guarantee that. Christmas is already easily the most dominant holiday of the year to the point where almost everyone celebrates it, regardless of religion.
Getting angry because someone doesn't celebrate your precious holiday is childish and pointless. I have no idea why people get their panties in a bunch so much over it.[/QUOTE]
I think they get mad by the fact that Christmas has become a holiday run by corporations and has lost touch with its roots.

I was too young to vote when it happened but I'm about as liberal democrat as anyone I know. So No to Rick Perry. I wanted to vote for obama.
The superheroes were an analogy.
Honestly, I have never met a jew. I think their women are kinda hot though.
And my best friend is black. His name is Darian.

I've seen a few snippets and never really found it that funny.
I know this is an old thing now, but we just discussed it at work and fuck me... im so pissed off with it again.
The dress is clearly black and blue and if you think other wise then you are actually stupid.
If you said to me "What are the colours that appear on this bad quality photo" i would then say light blue and browny-gold. There is no white or gold ON THAT DRESS.
If you see "White & Gold" on the dress, then you have some seriously bad eyes or brain processing.

It's still somewhat awkward in its adoption of stuff that their ancestors never even done, and by itself is a strange concept. The concept of black nationalism in itself seems to me as stupid as white nationalism.

I'm fine with "Happy Holidays", but there's nothing wrong with saying "Merry Chrismas" either (or "Happy Hanukkah" or whatever for that matter). Like seriously who cares.

Uh, you do know Kwanza isn't exactly a religious holiday? Many people who celebrate Kwanza also celebrate Christmas.
Otherwise, Christmas is literally everywhere for about a fourth of the entire year. There's no war on it.

I was saying it to shit on his post, it's not like it matters either way
he definitely should say it though if he has such an issue with other people doing the same. If he has an issue with people saying "Happy Kwanza/Hanukkah" then he shouldn't be doing the same back.
A Final Fantasy VII remake would really only work if done as a joint project between Square-Enix and Bandai Namco. That way, the outdated combat system could be retired in favour of the Tales series' Linear Motion Battle System.
I wish Bethesda would've made a sequel to skyrim (whereas you can continue as the same character) instead of making ESO
I think we all would have preferred anything instead of making ESO.
