Are there any famous Kwanzaa stories?

Question

I do not want your personal stories (no offense) but I mean popular stories. (Like Twas the Night Before Christmas for Christmas)

Answer 1

Yes, actually there is. Goes a little something like this..



Twas 4 years before Kawanzaa, and all through a broken down shanty, not a creature was stirring, not even an auntie.

When out from a box crawled two poor women that had been kidnapped and drugged, by the Kawanzaa creator, Mr Karenga the THUG.

He whipped and he beat these poor women so true, for a day and a night, possibly two!

With a hot poker and wires he showed them his love, black on black crime had truly run amuck.





Read up on the man who created the week long event. You will learn not only about the festival but how to celebrate properly.



If you celebrate the way the felon that created it celebrates it, you get 10-life in a State prison, now days.



He kidnapped, beat, tortured, and molested two black women. When I say beat and tortured, I mean whipped with an electrical cord, hot pokers in the mouth - and the craziest of all..put one of their big toes in a vice..lol..wtf is that all about?



However, some people will say, don't look at the man, look at the message. I say, lead by example.



John Wayne Gacy painted some nice pictures while in prison. Do you think the family of many boys he killed would hang those pictures in their living rooms? Do you think the two women this Kawanzaa creator beat and kidnapped, do you think they celebrate this week of crap?



I would rather celebrate Festivus from Frank Castanza.





I had to add this for Laughing Libra..when someone mentions the slave trade, let us not forget that it was not Europe alone in the business of slaves. In fact, the African slaves were bought by other African groups and nations that sold the people of their land to the slave traders. One of the most prolific dealers of the slave trade were and still are, the Arab Muslims. Which is why I am personally stunned that so many black americans embrace this religion as a form of salvation..oh to the ignorant - http://www.christianaction.org.za/articles_ca/2004-4-TheScourgeofSlavery.htm

And for someone to mention community when talking about



Kawanzaa..that is truly laughable. Do Not Forget That This Man Kidnapped / Raped / Tortured Two "African American" Women From His Own Community - yeah, you really held it together Libra..LOL

Answer 2

Kwanzaa is a cultural celebration.



Since African-Americans were stolen from their families in Africa, I guess we can read stories about how horrible the Middle Passage was and the brutality African-Americans faced during their imprisonment. But through all of that we were still able to maintain the sense of family and community.



As Moxil stated, there are children books on the subject. Maybe some old folk tales could be read.

Answer 3

The tradition probably hasn't been around long enough for those kinds of stories to become institutionalized. But you can find "Kwanzaa story books" in bookstores that cater primarily to African American clientele.

Answer 4

when jamaal got on welfare and paid his baby mama.
