Is This A Trick

I haven't been able to figure out why Chris Thomas approached this from a religious perspective as opposed to a cultural one. Those who know the origin of the celebration, know it was originally designed as an alternative to a white Christmas. It was the brainchild of Ron Karenga back in 1966. Needless to say times have certainly changed since then. But let's advance our discussion to 2007. In our politically correct society it has morphed into a cultural celebration. The focus is now on the seven principles of Kwanzaa. Which by the way are shared by the " Symbionese Liberation Army."


I know if I saw this distinction about Kwanzaa in my limited thinking. Any lawyer worth his weight in salt, did so as well. In this situation all the elected officials walk away as winners to a degree. They all were allowed to pander to their respective bases without really ruffling any feathers. I haven't been able to find out if Judge Walter Evans is elected in a city wide election or not, which I think would dictate his position. In this case he didn't have a choice though, Chris Thomas and his attorney's took it out of his hands. In this case the correct ruling satisfied their wishes. Supporters of Henri Brooks wouldn't expect any less from her. She was her afrocentric, pious, self-righteous self as usual. Someone suggested that she might be gearing up to run for the 9th congressional district. Though I hadn't thought of that, the idea is not too far fetched. This latest episode rivals Steve Cohen's request for an apology for slavery from the government. It only encouraged those who buy into that brand of politics. Finally what was Chris Thomas thinking when he filed this suit? I believe he knew exactly what he was doing. He sacrificed a few votes, in exchange many. He may have come across as racist to some, but he took up the mantle for far more Christians and conservatives.
