“One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic” — Joseph Stalin
There may be a genocide of black children, and no one is saying a word. More black children are killed in their mother’s womb than born alive. Black children are shooting and killing each other every single day, and no one is demonstrating or rioting or looting. Fifty people were shot in the city of Chicago alone over this year’s recent memorial day weekend. The next day another 28 were shot; most were black youth. As the Black Star Project notes:
“Chicago is no different than any other city, because deadly violence in the lives of black children today is a constant, overwhelming reality in America.”
The silence is deafening. No protests, no riots, no looting, no Black Lives Matter outrage. As The Black Star Project also stated, “Every major problem in the black community, including poor education, massive unemployment, hyper-incarceration, high mortality rates, and senseless violence, can be traced to the disintegration of the black family.” Many others have been noting the same problem. The psychological literature is overwhelming; the absence of the father is a plague on the family. When will we listen?
Follow The Science – Fatherlessness
Fatherlessness is one of the most recognized phenomenons in all of social science literature, yet it is one of the least discussed in the media and popular culture.
“The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb.”
In 2013 black women accounted for 29,007 terminated pregnancies, representing almost 42 percent of all abortions in the city. That same year, black women in the city gave birth to 24,108 babies. With abortions surpassing live births by nearly 5,000, African American women in the city terminated pregnancies more often than they carried babies to term. Black women terminated pregnancies at a rate far higher than any other racial or ethnic group. No demonstrations took place.
Alveda King, the niece of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and the daughter of civil rights activist A. D. King, said in a statement issued by Priests for Life, where she is the director of African-American Outreach. “The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb!”
She added: “And it should provoke outrage in the African-American community—not because it is racist, but because of the truth it reveals; the truth that is being kept from the African-American community.”
In 2019 the New York legislature passed the Reproductive Health Act that allows expanded abortion up to the last minute. There was no protesting, no rioting, no looting. Instead, Governor Cuomo ordered a celebration by lighting up the One WTC building Pink.
Governor Cuomo and others actually celebrated the fact that more children of all color could be killed in their mother’s womb more easily.
Margaret Sanger was the founder of Planned Parenthood. While her views of black people are still being debated, Sanger was a supporter of the now-discredited eugenics movement, which aimed to improve humans by either encouraging or discouraging reproduction based on genetic traits. She started the Negro Project,” which she viewed as a way to get safe contraception to African-Americans. Whatever her initial intentions, the results have been disastrous for Black children and families.
In 1934, Sanger proposed a law that included the following:
“Feeble-minded persons, habitual congenital criminals, those afflicted with inheritable disease, and others found biologically unfit by authorities qualified judge should be sterilized or, in cases of doubt, should be so isolated as to prevent the perpetuation of their afflictions by breeding.”
You might think that society would have changed by now. After all, we now know that life begins at conception and that children handicapped or otherwise are a gift, not a burden, as Sanger wrongfully believed. Regretfully, this barbaric thinking persists. The pro-abortion community continually tells us that these children are unwanted. Even though there are millions of couples seeking to adopt babies and over 1 million are being killed in their mother’s womb. These children are wanted.
Although she was not on the court at the time of the Supreme Court decision on abortion, in an interview with the New York Times, Ruth Bader Ginsburg said while commenting on another court ruling Harris v. McRae—in 1980 in which the court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of Medicaid for abortions.
“Frankly I had thought that at that time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.” — Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court found that the word “person”, as used in the Constitution, does not include the unborn. Today, unwanted children are spoken of in dehumanizing terms: “embryo,” “fetus,” “products of conception,” etc. According to Protecting Black Life, 79% of Planned Parenthood’s surgical abortion facilities are located within walking distance of African American or Hispanic/Latino neighborhoods. This might explain why Black women disproportionately have more abortions than other women.
Blacks make up 12% of the population, but 35% of the abortions in America. Are they being targeted? Isn’t that genocide? They are the only minority in America that is on the decline in population. Doesn’t anyone want to know the answer to these questions?
When will the protests begin?
Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life and the lives of all my brothers and sisters. I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion, Yet I rejoice that You have conquered death by the Resurrection of Your Son. I am ready to do my part in ending abortion. Today I commit myself Never to be silent, Never to be passive, Never to be forgetful of the unborn. I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement, and never to stop defending life Until all my brothers and sisters are protected, and our nation once again becomes a nation with liberty and justice not just for some, but for all, through Christ our Lord. Amen!
