Unconscionable hypocrisy

Tony, over at Tony's KC Blog (you knew that) reports today that there was a memo sent out from a group calling itself the "Concerned Clergy Coalition" about the firing of Wayne Cauthen as Kansas City's City Manager.

The "Concerned Clergy Coalition"??

Interesting name.

I wonder when they're going to get off their lazy butts and give a damn about the young African-American men that are shooting--and frequently killing--other African-Americans here in town. I've been writing about it for months, as have other people in town. (See here: http://moravings.blogspot.com/2009/08/heres-way-to-start.html).

On August 7 this summer, where was the "Concerned Clergy Coalition" when this shooting occurred on the East side?

Oh, that's right. It was only a shooting and 2 near-deaths. No reason to form a "coalition" yet, right?

Freakin' hypocrites.

To be incensed about what appears to be a legitimate business dismissal when people are being shot and killed is virtually unbelievable and, as I said above, unconscionable.

Where was their march last summer when there were 40 people celebrating at a cookout on the front lawn of one of their own citizens and some chucklehead drove by and shot both a 3 year old child and the Father?

What are we to assume here? That this group is only concerned when one of their own is fired from a high-paying job but not when the average person on the street is shot and/or killed, frequently in broad daylight?

Unless and until the "Concerned Clergy Coalition" has a march--and as soon as possible--about these killings, they seem to be a group that simply can't be taken seriously or regarded with any legitimacy.

They mock themselves, at this point.
