"They use the plight of poor and uneducated black people like a 'movie prop' to advance their sick and evil agenda."
A powerful new piece from TakeCharge founder Kendall Qualls confronts a recent, brutal act of violence in Cincinnati and the shameful silence from national Black leaders. This is not an isolated incident, but a symptom of a much deeper cultural collapse, born from decades of deliberate sabotage.
The article challenges conventional narratives, arguing that today's chaotic "thug culture" is a direct result of a socialist agenda that has betrayed the Black populace. While Black Americans make up only 12% of the population, they account for a disproportionate share of violent crime, a devastating consequence of this cultural decay.
But there is hope. A remnant of believers will restore traditional Black culture to its foundational roots, centered on Christian faith and core American principles. This is the only way to ensure the shocking violence seen in Cincinnati becomes a distant memory.
In Case You Missed It—This summer, we brought together 110 married couples to discuss how to raise a new generation that embraces Christ-centered marriage. The biggest takeaway? Our youth aren't apathetic; they're hungry for mentorship, purpose, and a vision for strong, stable families.

A crucial conversation on how to restore marriage in Black communities will be held at Grace Temple Deliverance Center on Saturday, August 30th, at 10 AM. Kendall and Sheila Qualls will be there to discuss planting the seeds of change desperately needed in our communities.
This event follows a workshop with 110 married couples in Memphis, TN, last month, with workshops planned in the black communities of Detroit, MI, and Birmingham, AL, in October and November.
TakeCharge is the only national organization working to address the number #1 driver of racial disparities in black communities — fatherless homes by restoring marriage as the norm once again.
