There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him,
But its end is the way of death.

I turned on the television this morning and the first thing I heard was there was a shooting at Miles College. One student is now dead. I know everyone who reads this is not African American but this is addressed to all who have a heart and mind to hear.
At some point, we have to address some serious issues in the African American community and acknowledge our participation in creating these issues. Some, not all but far too many of our young men are violent. Some, not all of our young men have no self-worth. They lack a God -consciousness. Some, but not all of young men live their daily existence like savages. They have no respect for other people's property. They have no respect for themselves and they do not respect Human life.
Something is wrong and it's time we start addressing it. Unfortunately, this savage like behavior or mentality exists even when some of our students go off to school to better their lives. They are unable to separate their "hood experience" from their "now experience." It should be a difference!
Today, lets all pray for the victims family and pray for Miles College and all HBCU's . It is now a phenomena that they have to address. It's happening to frequent without a true end to senseless acts of crime in our community. Today, we pray. Today, we ask God for guidance and direction. Today , we mourn another loss but tomorrow we must address "Our Issues" and demand better of our children.
My heartfelt condolences go to the family and the students who lives have been drastically changed as the result of another black on black crime.
