With all the hoopla and uproar over the recent turn of
events involving Planned Parenthood and the new abortion laws that various
states across the country are passing that seems to threaten the overturn of Roe
vs Wade, I could not help but reflect on a conversation I had with a friend
several years ago. It was around the time when I was heavily into my blogging. My
friend was very impressed with my writing skills and felt he had the ideal subject
for my next blog. He claimed it would put me on the “map”. Said he could not
trust just anybody with it and felt I would get his point across. But first he
had to ask me a question. He wanted to know if I could guess what the number
one killer of Black people was? He quickly added that it was not diabetes, high blood pressure, heart
disease or even police shootings. “Well damn!!” I though. “That really don’t
leave much else.” Fact is I was leaning
towards police shootings but he took that off the table. So after finally
admitting that I had no clue, he informed me that it was abortions. He said
that more Black people were killed every day through abortions than any of the
other things he mentioned. He went on to share some other things but to me it
was coming from a racially motivated stand point. As a rule of thumb I try to
steer clear of racially charge subjects. Anyway I decided to hear him out and
was actually game about writing the piece but after doing the research I decided
against it. Why? Well I’m glad you asked. First off I was not as racially
motivated as he was and secondly I found that at the time White women were having abortions
at a higher rate compared to Black women.

Unfortunately I did not think to save any of the diagrams I
found in my research at the time but I do remember enough to recall that even
combining the number of Black and Latino women who had abortions, the numbers
were still lower than that of White Women.

According to Wikipedia, “The origins
of Planned Parenthood date[s] [back] to October 16, 1916, when Margaret Sanger, her
sister Ethel Byrne, and Fania Mindell opened the first birth control clinic in
the U.S. in the Brownsville section of the New York borough of Brooklyn.” According to an online article in the Time FeifeiSun Jan 30, 2012, “Brownsville, located in east Brooklyn, has long been
one of New York City’s most dangerous neighborhoods.” The headlines for the New
York Daily News online article written by Rikki Reyna and Erin Durkin dated
3/26/17 also echoes that same sediment when they wrote “Brownsville is
Brooklyn's worst neighborhood for children due to high poverty, lousy access to
fresh food and day care.” So much for Planned Parenthood being introduced to
help families overcome social obstacles.

Truth is Plan Parenthood was something
that was put in place in minority neighborhoods as a way to reduce the number
of black babies born – nothing else. Margaret Sanger was reported to once have
said, “The most merciful thing that a
family does to one of its infant members is to kill It.” and “A free race cannot be born of slave mothers.”
She also referred to people of color as “weed
that must be exterminated.” Is there any coincidence then that she was one
of the founders of the very organization which perpetuated the killing of
unborn babies across the country? In fact I just read another online article
which gave more insight into the inner working of Margaret Sanger. Arina Grossu
Director of the Center for Human Dignity
at Family Research Council said in an article entitled Margaret Sanger, racist eugenicist extraordinaire, which appeared
in The Washington Times on May 5, 2014, “Sanger shaped the eugenics movement in
America and beyond in the 1930s and 1940s. Her views and those of her peers in
the movement contributed to compulsory sterilization laws in 30 U.S. states
that resulted in more than 60,000 sterilizations of vulnerable people, including
people she considered "feeble-minded," "idiots" and
"morons." The article was riddled with detail accounts of Sanger’s determination
to eradicate the black race. Such as, “In
a letter to Clarence Gable in 1939, Sanger wrote: "We do not want word to
go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is
the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more
rebellious members" (Margaret Sanger commenting on the 'Negro Project' in
a letter to Gamble, Dec. 10, 1939).” And
my friend wonders why I no longer attend church. How can I – once I realize
that preachers are commissioned to help lead us astray. But I digress from the
issue at hand.

Last week I was speaking with another friend who shared something
I had actually thought about but had not gotten around to verbalizing it to
anyone yet. She said that she heard an activist share that the recent abortion
laws like the Fetal Heartbeat law, which many of the states are
implementing/adopting is nothing more than a way for White people to stop the aborting
of White babies because they were afraid that their race was well on its way to
extinction. Then just two days ago
another friend send me a video interview of Jane Elliott where she was sharing
that very same point of view. I am prone to believe Jane Elliott was that
advocate my previous friend eluded to in her comment. Up until I got that video
I had never heard of Jane Elliott. If I did I have no recollection of it. You
may know her as a retired 3rd grade school teacher who is known for
her controversial “Blue eyes – Brown eyes” exercise which she conducted the day
after Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. Others may know her as an anti-racism
activist who speaks out against social injustice. The internet is littered with
tons of information and speeches she has given.
After listening to much of what she had to say on the
subject I am convinced more now than ever before that my initial summation of
what is transpiring as it relates to abortion laws popping up all over the
country, i.e. Georgia, Missouri, Ohio, Illinois, etc. It is an attempt to slow
the decline of White people and nothing else. Just as legalizing marijuana after
all these years was done purely for profits. How many black men are sitting in
prison for possession of a nickel/dime bag? Sometimes even less. What makes
marijuana safe all of a sudden when before it was given such a bad name? The
weed is still a weed even if it’s just sitting there. Nothing changed about its
properties. Many Reggae artists,
including the Legendary Bob Marley, sang songs about the health benefits of
using it, yet the powers that be turned a blind ear and continued to persecute
those who would defy the law. Now all of a sudden it is “gold”. I saw a report
on line which reports the marijuana industry is projected to clear Billions in
sales. Billions!!!

So now that the White race is on the verge of extinction – it
is projected that in another 30 years or so they will be way less of them –
they now are trying to undo what was set in motion all those decades ago. What was introduced as a way to control
minority races has turned out to be their destruction. The very tool they used to
reduce minority races is proving to be their downfall. Make me think of an old
saying, be careful what you wish for others because it might just come back to
haunt you. Or this one, when you dig a ditch make sure you dig two. Karma really
is a bitch or not. It all depends on which side of the spectrum you’re on. Karma
is nothing more than the universe’s way of righting a wrong. Say what you want
about life i.e., it’s not fair, it’s short, it’s tough, etc., but one thing for
sure, what goes around comes around. If you live long enough you’ll be able to
see the reward of the ______. Pay attention, stay vigilant, and don't get distracted. Everything is not as t seems. I’m just saying – I got issues. What about you?
