WI Sen. Glenn Grothman (R) slams Kwanzaa

Wisconsin state Sen. Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) slammed Kwanzaa, claiming "almost no black people" care about the holiday.

"Almost no black people today care about Kwanzaa -- just white left-wingers who try to shove this down black people's throats in an effort to divide Americans," Grothman said in a press release, according to Patch.

"Why must we still hear about Kwanzaa?" Grothman asked. "Why are hard-core left wingers still trying to talk about Kwanzaa -- the supposed African-American holiday celebration between Christmas and New Year’s?"

Everybody knows that the only "legitimate" holidays are WASPy ones.

And why should he give a good god damn if somebody else celebrates a holiday that doesn't cost him anything, doesn't require giving anybody a day off, and doesn't cause the slightest disruption in his life?

What a dick.
