Maybe It's A Little Of Both

I think I heard Kenneth Whalum Jr. give the best description I've heard so far of himself. He said "you can tell a Morehouse man, but you can't tell him much." I think that's his biggest problem. No one can tell him anything. Education is a good thing, but sometimes it makes some people foolish. Obviously they've taken that moniker on as being positive. To me that summed up his persona, as well as that of some others. They have no respect for decency and order. That was evident in his split with his father over the church. Even the animals recognize the importance of elderly wisdom. The only way you were able to control the young elephants, were with the older bulls.

The problem is, he is now getting older himself. The same misbehavior that he once championed has come back to haunt him. The same attitude that lead to his rise, will ultimately lead to his demise. Even though he's not that old himself. Now he is considered the old man on the board with the antiquated ideas. I'm sure when he graduated from Morehouse college he thought he had all the answers. Now due to time he really does have some. If you want to see yourself when you get older. Look at your father. I don't agree with some things the pastor says. Only him and God know if his revelations are spiritually inspired. Usually what successful young men claim as confidence, is actually cockiness. Maybe it's a little of both.
