What is going on in this place?
This happens when we are a lost people. We are following another man’s culture and religion. We don’t know ourselves. We don’t love our own. We have no value or respect for life or our own people..Black lives don’t matter to black people.. Broken and fatherless homes. No sense of community. Divisive politics and doctrines. No reputable leaders. Laaaad help us
