No, Kwanzaa ia a contrived set of days set up by a racist black during the Black Power days. Since that particular movement has faded away, so has interest in Kwanzaa. Although many governments and corporate entities wanting to be politically correct give lip service to it and an outrageous equal standing to the Christmases and Hannukahs (sp?) of hte world, it remains an essentially unobserved set of days.
See the Wikipedia entry for it:

IMHO, it is SO contrived and SO unobserved that even white racists can safely ignore it rather than starting threads like this one...like...who cares?
