☕Morning fam,
St. Louis has no answers and is resorting to the same old, tired, played out ineffective response to tragedy. The people that exploit every tragedy are out in full force, pretend caring after being completing missing inaction since the last tragedy. Y’all know the drill, regional leaders will point fingers and absolve themselves of any responsibility for the environment cultivate by decades of disastrous dem policies. These predatory and grifting assed orgs and black churches will stunt, suck up all the energy, overshadowing the people that do this work on a day to day, make fake promises, get a bag then get ghost. The same thing they did the last mass shooting Christmas Eve 2010 when 9 young people were shot, 1 killed. The same thing they did when Mike Brown was killed by Darren Wilson.
This is deja vu fam. stlhiphop and Dynasty Hip Hop Mentoring Program galvanized the community in the aftermath, regional leaders did nothing and many of the orgs and clergy fake caring today are the same ones that fake cared back then, which is why no one should be surprised at last week’s school shooting.
2 weeks ago I rang the alarm about consequences of deinvestment in our youth, the failures of St. Louis Public Schools and neglect/indifference of those put in position or granted millions to ‘save them’, even ending it with this african proverb, which now seems like a cryptic message,
“The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.”
And like my many others warnings that rang true, nobody listened. Today they rush to put out this fire, completely oblivious to the other ticking time bombs cultivated in this environment that could detonate at any time.
