I don't really know how Kwanzaa died or how he/she came to have a holiday named after him/her. Actually I don't even know if there ever was a person named Kwanzaa. But since Christmas is named after Jesus Christ and Hannukah is named after good King Hannuck (i guess he invented the candlestick or something?) then it's a safe bet that there was once a person named Kwanzaa. Perhaps there was once a very tall young man named Kwanzaa who grew up in a small African tribe, and one day Billy Crystal came and offered him millions to play basketball in America, and in return he taught Billy Crystal the meaning of friendship and the importance of following your heart! Now that's worthy of a holiday! RIP Kwanzaa. and Happy Kwanzaa as well!


is this in bad taste? my common sense goes out the window at 2am.
