In my older age I've come to the realization that a lot of people join movements just to belong, not because they actually hold the conviction.

No diss, but Kwanzaa was invented in the 1960s. It's not like a directly african tribally descended thing, though inspired by some (mostly Swahili and Zulu), it's something made for black american pride and reflection.
