I love Kwanza ! Back in Buffalo each and every year the local media report on the opening of Kwanza .

The footage is pretty much the same each and every year . A couple of inner-city Pastors standing up before about 10 to 12 Grannies with about a dozen kids no older than 7 taking part .

Boys older than 7 are generally busy acting as " Pee-Wee " Recruits for the many Street Gangs operating across the City .
Pee-Wees are trained as " look-outs " , hold the weapons , cash and the drugs for the salesmen .

If they do real well then by age 13 or 14 they progress to full
" members " and get assigned " work " by the " shot-caller ".
It`s a great training program and keeps the kids outside and away from the TV set .
