T.D. Jakes’ Emotional Message On Trayvon Martin Killing (2203 hits)
Bishop T.D. Jakes visited Philadelphia’s Praise 103.9 and got emotional when asked a question about Trayvon Martin and getting justice for his death. Jakes explained why this case is bigger than Trayvon and what we all should take from this tragic loss. “Amongst all the children that are lost everyday, sometimes there is a catastrophic event that captures the fascination of masses of people and they become the icon of a bigger issue that is indicative of the society in which we live. “
It's sad. No parent wants to get a call like the call Trayvon's parents received. We all know that Trouble will come and hindsight is 20/20; however, when in trouble the Lord is a very present help in trouble. I was taught as a small child to call on Jesus when i was in trouble.
Moreover, I know in my heart that Trayvon's parents did their best to instil the vital life skills to not only Trayvon, but to both their sons. Every Black parent of boys know that the rules of engagement is different for our boys than for our girls. Although we have our first Black (looking) president, America is still very polarized by race and it will be for generations to come unfortunately.
Youth Summit: Since Trayvon's Death, What Should We Be Telling Young Black Youth? Streaming Live August 9-10, 2013 This meeting is designed to bring together the community resources, spiritual resources and legal resources to provide direction for young males. It is my desire to provide a forum to discuss racial injustice, social prejudice and how to effectively deal with them. Further, this meeting will equip young males with appropriate behavior responses to life most challenging moments. We will dissect the black male experience and provide wisdom for the journey. Making the aware of the world they must confront... We are divested of our innocence ... We do not live in a race neutral world.....
