facebook | The people of Kansas City deserve better from so-called Black
leadership. I’m proud to be a part of emboldening the next generation of
Black leaders who will represent their communities far better, and with
far more earnest motives, then these weary soldiers who have apparently
lost their way. Myself and others of goodwill shall continue fighting
to ensure we solve the issues that negatively impact the lives of those
we love the most so that future generations don’t have to inherit the
insecurity, the violence, and paucity of opportunities we did.
Before this year is done we may make it to 200 murders in Kansas City. A
number that should pierce the hearts of every Kansas Citian. Many of
the victims are children who haven’t had the opportunity to grow, to
learn, to understand a better way, and that there really does exist a
better life for them on the other side of their present suffering. When
will our current leadership work together to solve this issue that so
many say is unsolvable? When will our best minds come together to end
this epidemic of hopelessness and nihilism?
If Dr. King were
alive today it is my unwavering belief that he would be far less
concerned with personal accolades and streets named in his honor, but
would, as a much older and seasoned General, still be fighting for the
least of these. King would still be championing the gospel of Jesus
Christ that says in Matthew chapter 18:
“Who is the greatest in
the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set
him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be
converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the
kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this
little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso
shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.”
