PASTORS ASKS GOD TO SAVE HIS HOOD IN NEW ANTI-VIOLENCE SONG
Los Angeles - Pastor Chuck Singleton has been involved in the civil rights
movement since his youth. He pastors Loveland Church in the Los Angeles
area with a congregation of 5000. For
over 40 years Pastor Chuck and Loveland Church have been working to resolve
racial disparity and bring hope to those who feel abandoned by society. Now
in an effort to help the masses in a new, fresh and compelling way, Pastor
Singleton is creating contemporary and provocative music videos. The first of
several is entitled MAN UP.
Pastor
Singleton states “Man UP speaks volumes through lyrics like another
momma’s tears, graveside goodbye... As a minister I've buried too
many young hopes and dreams from misguided gangbangers to star high school
quarterbacks. Then I've driven up on my own son with an officer’s pistol
pointed at his head, while a smarter officer examined a toy pistol discovered
in his car after a church play. The killing has to stop! While it's not
universal, police brutality is real. I worry every time one of my four sons
goes out the door. But it's not just a black thing or a white thing. It's a
heart thing and a hope thing! It has been said that 'a man without anything to
lose is the most dangerous man there is.' This won't be cured until our young
people find hope and law enforcement is recognized as part of the cure not part
of the problem!”
When asked why he chose music
videos as his preferred medium, Pastor Singleton further states “"Music
speaks to a culture at a level where CNN is not heard. Music echoes when other
voices have gone dark. We chose Music because it dances in darkness and leads
to light. George Santayana wrote "never mind its constitution and
platitudes, let me write a nations songs and I'll shape its destiny.
