"SNIP................................

RNC at GOP Tweet:

Happy Kwanzaa! Wishing those celebrating a joyous time with loved ones and a time of meaningful reflection ahead of the New Year.


Yes, it's pretty apparent that the writer doesn't really know what sort of "meaningful reflection" occurs during this "joyous time." Or maybe they're just not completely comfortable encouraging black people to celebrate their African heritage. Still, it doesn't offend conservative non-Christians by saying "Happy Holidays Is What Liberals Say" on an ugly mug or T-shirt. It doesn't declare racism — a very real, very modern condition — over. It's a considerate, though under-informed, holiday greeting for the small, overwhelmingly black group of Americans who celebrate Kwanzaa. Some might call that progress.

1. Yes, I

would call that progress. The GOP calls it Mission Accomplished.

They will be their normal selves after the holiday cash wears off.
