Kirkwood’s racial division does not seem to be healing

I’m just wondering — I keep seeing local news programs on the ‘healing of Kirkwood’ and yet all I see on the news clips are older, white Kirkwood residents and white Kirkwood city officials. I understand that Meacham Park was predominately African-American, yet aside of one coverage of a Black minister and his healing program, I see a division where White Kirkwood residents are at City Hall and others are stuck off-site. Just my imagination or are the news clips being edited deliberately in that fashion ?

[...] Savvy Mom put up a good read today.Here’s a quick excerpt:…that Meacham Park was predominately African-American, yet aside of one coverage of a Black minister and his healing program, I see a division… [...]

Many Whites will not even consider healing until they get their revenge. They can’t get it from Charles Thornton and this is driving some of these people over the edge and towards even further divisiveness. They are looking to get even (revenge) for the killings by looking for the last person who owned the gun that was stolen tewlve years ago and charging that person with murder.. See how Satan causes so many to be just plain foolish? I pray that God will unblind these people. They just can’t see. How sad.

With all the hypocrisy in this country, we are going to see more and more people who do not fear losing their own life and in fact, find it worth losing their life in order to take a stand concerning justice and rights in this country.

I guess we can label many things mental illness, such as one willing to go into Iraq to fight for the rights of others by killing.

Funny how Blacks have always been labeled mentally ill and crazy whenever they were willing to fight for their rights, not to mention kill for their rights when they were held in slavery willing to kill to escape for their freedom. If a slave killed his master in order to escape being enslaved, that human being was labelled crazy. But one is labelled sane and, in fact, is labelled a hero for killing others for the rights of some as has occured in Iraq for actions that had occured years earlier that had ceased and where no one was being treated any worst than anyone in our own country.

So many people of all races are waking up and I thank God for that but, so many more are in need of an awakening. Maybe these are the truly evil ones and will never wake up and will never realize that they are truly the walking dead. Nevertheless, we should pray for these ones just the same.

One other thing that proves the evil hearts at work regarding the Kirkwood shootings, my question is, how on God’s green earth could anyone who have goodness, God or Christ operating in them not have sympathy/ condolences for the Charles Thornton’s family?

May all who are righteous pray for the souls of such truly sick ones as these ones, who maybe do not even realize how sick and far away from God that they truly are.
