There is that insidious "element" of evil that resides among us, around us, within us, more virally in some than in others. Entire families, indeed intergenerational families, like the "Hooligans of London," have sprung up from the deracinated, impoverished and polluted soil wherever their silt of filth, despair and ignorance, on the bottom rungs of society, may be found.
This "element,'" as it pertains to blacks, is a very small segment of the population, who repeatedly parasitize the rest of us. Like praying mantises, they prey upon us , steal from, and murder us and each other, both randomly and purposely . They blend in, hide out among us from the police, camouflaged. They select their victims from among us and then attack us and fade away, till they come again.
They may temporarily profit by from their exploits, until they themselves are pilloried by other "elements." The have zero respect for education, knowledge or wisdom, or those with it, unless it or those with it, can enrich them immediately, materially. This "element" has no shame, nor values, nor love, nor respect towards us as "us."
They respect money, and power; raw, brutal, depraved, and respond most readily and faithfully to its wicked stimuli.
Identifying, converting that "element" is the greatest challenge facing black people.
Poverty produced by politicians in their domestic tax policy and urban policy investment decisions produced this element, Those same political and economic practices have produced joblessness, which is the major factor in the " elements'" creation and continuation. They are not the only factors, nor even the greatest factors; ease of opportunity and corruption among law enforcement are other prime factors.
Dr. Martin Lither King Jr., found them in Chicago in 1966-1967, and was thwarted in his effort to reach them, or to teach them, even as his own children were negatively affected by them. They acquired that "element's" sullen perspectives , habits and attitudes, he has written. So, he hurriedly sent his children back down South to grandparents away from that silt in the filth! But, alas, the "elements" are down South, too, nowadays!
Excising that "element" from among us, that is around us, and within us, is paramount! Doing such by proven, sapient means by money, in power, by knowledge, by wisdom, for love and for our future as a people, is our most formidable challenge and the foremost of our remaining African-American Christian duties.

THAT INSIDIOUS "ELEMENT" AMONG, AROUND, WITHIN, US
There is that insidious "element" of evil that resides among us, around us, within us, more virally in some than in others.
