We have these so-called reverends who come to town after the fact and run off at the mouth. Just because they have a handle on their name does not make them credible or valid. They use that just to hoodwink the black population into thinking that they have standing.
If we fail to address the problems at hand, we will stay at the bottom of the social ladder. Look around, what do you see? Pants hanging off bodies, $6,000 wheels on a $500 car. Come on!
Community leaders such as the ones we have serve no purpose except to make a name for themselves. When was the last time any of them came to St. Louis and took a stand on the horrendous acts we are doing to our own people?
