Untitled[edit]

I don't know how this got into the initial page, but the figure cited of "40 million celebrants" seems grossly inflated.

This is hardly my area of expertise, so I've merely toned it down to say "millions" and listed it as needing citation. According to 2 minutes of googling, the Baltimore Sun (http://www.baltimoresun.com/business/bal-kwanzaa122903,0,3107659.story) reports the National Retail Foundation's figure of 1.7 percent of the US population. I think it's safe to say that the vast majority of Kwanzaa celebrants are in the US, and the highest figure I found (2.3%) of Americans who celebrate it was actually on what seemed to be a white supremacist website.

At any rate, assuming the number is in the area of 2%, that comes to 6 million, so I think 40 million must be an enormous inflation of the true number. If someone can come up with better sourced information, I think that it would be much better for this article to either include something solid or just dispose with the number altogether and list it as a "popular African-American holiday" or something to that effect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.77.37.52 (talk) 00:38, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
