Please Close The Door

"Black" Nativity.  "Black" what?  Who left the door open?
To the Jews one says, "Happy Hanukkah!"  Who knows what one says to the Chinese, Japanese, and Indians, one never hears any cultural greeting of cheer at this time of year in their language.  Maybe they brush it off.

To the Caucasians one says, "Merry Christmas!" (The Nativity being of their culture).  To the Afrikan Americans one says, "Happy Kwanzaa!" (A cultural greeting that encompasses the needs and  identity of the Afrikan Americans).

Now who are these "Black" Nativity people?  Still carbon copies, left-overs untouched by the black cultural movement of the '60s?  The Nativity is of, for, and by Caucasians satisfying a need in the pursuit of happiness in their continuing history.  Granted, we all seek happiness, and there are values and principles in the Christmas saga that are universal.  For the moment, we leave aside the religious context -- out of which flowed those melodius songs of Christmas carols nailed by Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Nat "king" Cole, Billy Eckstein, and numerous others that thrill us with cheer, love, and joy to be alive with others.  That screaming and hollering of these carols by some carbon copies -- as if being stuck by red-hot pokers -- makes one want to bellow, "Please shut the hell up!"

If you agree with this post, share it with a friend.  Help close the door before carbon copies begin calling themselves "black" Anglos.
