There's A Difference Between A Need And A Want-!
We need to be forgiving (if not forgetting) how even some of our own dare to claim:
"That's not the way my kids are (as though none of 'their' kids ever make mistakes)..."
We also need to get down off of our podiums (where some just preach at our people), then exibit more empathy and sympathy for how some 'just plain folks' feel as well as think about this ongoing mayhem/violence/ad naseum in their midst too...
Also if our veteran self proclaimed leaders and/or various black elected officials are just going to make noise and not truly help to make a difference:
Later for them too!
Simply put (but difficult--if not possible to bring about--in times like these):
One and all, it's long overdue for folks--like us--in black communities all thruout this nation--to get back to the grassroots activism etc.--which made the Jesse Jacksons and the Obama's who they claim or say they are--though maybe aren't--i. e., create new organizations etc. from which will come another peoples agenda and/or usher in new leaders...
