How Can I Celebrate Black History Month?

We are now well into the month that is celebrated as "black history month." Black communities across this nation will celebrate this month and with deep appreciation laud the first black President as the most significant event in our history. School's churches and other institutions in our community will speak of Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin King and many others who made extraordinary contributions to our nations history. However, there is a dark cloud that hangs over our community a specter of self destruction through the murder of our babies by the evil practice of abortion. It taints our community pride and cast disparagement on those who preceded us and the accomplishments they have achieved. The irony of our celebration this year is evident in recently published abortion statistics that indicate upwards to 1,500 black babies a day are murder in their mothers womb. While we as a community celebrate our past history in America it is increasingly clear our future is being systematically destroyed by a eugenic base philosophy targeted specifically towards black babies and black women.

Unfortunately during this months celebration little will be said about 14 million black babies thrown away by the bloody hands of abortionist since 1973. How can we laud our history and at the same time ignore a holocaustal scourge that is decimating the future of our existence? Perhaps a glimpse at the history of Maragret Sanger founder of Planned Parenthood and mother of the abortion industry in America will help us see reasons why. Maragret Sanger years ago implemented a plan called the "Negro Project" designed to control population in the black community. Sanger said "negroes are like weeds, we need to get rid of them" In a letter to one of her supporters she said "We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population". These statements by Sanger reflect her eugenic belief in a superior race. In 1970, I. I. Gottesman, a director of the American Eugenics Society, defined the meaning of eugenics in this way: "The essence of evolution is natural selection; the essence of eugenics is the replacement of 'natural' selection by conscious, premeditated, or artificial selection in the hope of speeding up the evolution of 'desirable' characteristics andthe elimination of undesirable ones."

With the help of W.E. Dubuois and black pastors Sanger set in moment a eugenic plot of dysgenic' genocide in the black community. That plan is still at work today under the rubric of reproductive health and a "women right to choose." Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry because of laws and policies supported in all three branches of our government have had since 1973 unfettered access to our community to work their plan of depopulation. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg affirmed this idea in an interview in New York Times when she said, "Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe (1973) was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that WE don’t want to have too many of."

The irony of our celebration this month is also seen in the recent revelation of four black abortionist who were exposed on our nations public stage for atrocities perpetrated on black women and babies in California, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and Maryland. In January of this year an indictment of abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell for murder of seven late term babies and one of his female patience's in his Philadelphia clinic dominated internet news. Also, exposed in January were Nicole Riley in Maryland who through a botched abortion seriously injuring a woman by perforating the wall of her uterus pulling out part of her intestines, James Pendergraft, who runs an illegal late term abortion facility, and Andrew Rutland exposed for frightening women into agreeing to unnecessary hysterectomies, botching abortions, lying to patients, falsifying medical records, over-prescribing painkillers and having sex with patients. All four are black abortionist working for personal gain.

How can we celebrate our history in the light of this abortion scourge? BET television and other media outlets will present historical facts about how blacks contributed to our nations success in the days ahead, but I will find it difficult to celebrate knowing the ugly facts of abortions impact on black babies and black women. Our babies, children and women are exposed and victimized through the mantra and deceptive lie of "a woman right to choose" This mantra has led to an abortion scourge that is threaten our very survival.

Major media will not cover this story nor communicate the horror of abortion in the black community. But one must ask where are black print and electronic media? Why have they not covered this holocaust? Surely they are aware of the malady of abortion and its impacts! Could it be that they like Dubuois and other community leaders recruited in the twentieth century by Sanger are complicit in her eugenic plan to control black population? Where are the voices of our leaders? The Congressional Black Caucus is not to be trusted, they have voted unanimously to support Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry to refill their re-election coffers. Community activist like Sharpton, and Jackson have become apologist for abortion rights. Perhaps more disturbing is the silences of the black church and their shepherds to fight for babies and women in our communities.

So, I guess its up to "we the people" to engage in pushing back against the abortionist, and eugenists in order to protect our babies, our community, and our future. We must hold our elected officials, churches, and pastor accountable if they are to lead us, or get rid of them. Then and only then we will be able to celebrate our history, our future and our nation.
