Self-Destruction and Self-Criticism At Its Best

Although online Kappas are not supposed to hint or beat around the bush regarding esoteric information, there is a pretty good flame war going on the NupeNet regarding the Christian beliefs that Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. was clearly founded upon.

As much as I would like to join the fray, I have to stay on the sidelines as much as possible for a multitude of reasons.

1. The debate around our Founders' beliefs and the opposing modern-day beliefs of society and our diverse membership has been raised like Lazarus on more than one occasion and the recent debate seems like a return of the season to bring up the dead horse again.

2. If the collective of members cannot utilize the power of the internet to create positive change and achievement externally, then internal fighting to change the wording of various documents to appease nonbelievers or nonpracticing Christians further erodes the spirit and hope of Fraternity.

3. Being a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, my expectations are that everyone already knows where I stand on the issue.

Here I am feeling victorious on taking the red pill previously as this blog should represents and seeing where our systemic cracks and flaws are and being courageous enough to push the envelope to create momentum and a desire to create positive change, there are forces that rather enjoy and see as our primary focus as wine, women, and song or just throw the gates open for any type of belief or faith just for the sake of not possibly offending anyone.

I will not cease or limit my efforts nevertheless for just as a wind blew the debate in, another one will usher it elsewhere to return another season.

I do not know what or how long I will stay on the sideline this time around, since there appears to be a small contingent that are expressing a strong fight. I hope that they stay courageous for other battles internally and externally.

There are signs of too many being on the down low in body and spirit and practicing other lifestyles in direct opposition of where the Founders intended our organization to exist and go.

Heaven help us all!
