Bet You Didn’t Know [4]

Fri, Jan 25, 2013

Editor: This week the world is abuzz with the inauguration of the US second black president (hamburger eating, saxophone playing, single-parent and womanizing Bill Clinton was declared the first by America’s black crème de la crème of the 1990’s).{{more}} Obama, except for his skin colour, has nothing in common with 99.99 per cent of either US blacks or me. Obama is not the descendant of slaves. Indeed, those in SVG who worship at the feet of Obama but despise Ralph Gonsalves, may well find that Ralph has a lot more in common with them, thus making Ralph’s observation that he “is the blackest politician” to grace this place not so far-fetched.

In last week’s article, we dealt with the origin of Planned Parenthood and founder Margaret Sanger and her vocalized beliefs and one wonders whether Mr Obama would have qualified as anything other than “dead weight of human waste”. But I have no doubt that Mr Obama, like W.E.B. Dubois of the early twentieth century, does not see himself as one of us, so he can afford to give his support to an organization that takes innocent black lives – “…abortion kills more black people than the seven leading causes of death combined (heart disease, cancer, strokes, accidents, diabetes, homicide, and chronic lower respiratory diseases) according to CDC data [The Radiance Foundation, 2009 co-founded by a black man, Ryan Bomberger who was conceived by rape].

And I wonder how many of Daniel Pompey, imported boy-slave from Guinea, my great grandfather’s twenty-three children would have been permissible, if any?

  •  August 5, 1926, Margaret Sanger, Institute of Euthenics – Vassar College: Organized charity itself is the symptom of a malignant social disease. Those vast, complex, interrelated organizations aiming to control and to diminish the spread of misery and destitution and all the menacing evils that spring out of this sinisterly fertile soil, are the surest sign that our civilization has bred, is breeding and perpetuating constantly increasing numbers of defectives, delinquents and dependents.

It [charity] encourages the healthier and more normal sections of the world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and indiscriminate fecundity of others; which brings with it, as I think the reader must agree, a dead weight of human waste. Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant.

The most serious charge that can be brought against modern “benevolence” is that it encourages the perpetuation of defectives, delinquents and dependents. These are the most dangerous elements in the world community, the most devastating curse on human progress and expression.

It now remains for the U.S. government to set a sensible example to the world by offering a bonus or yearly pension to all obviously unfit parents who allow themselves to be sterilized by harmless and scientific means. In this way the moron and the diseased would have no posterity to inherit their unhappy condition. The number of the feeble-minded would decrease and a heavy burden would be lifted from the shoulders of the fit.

  • October 1999, Pastor Johnny M Hunter, “Say So” march on DC: Under the pretense of “better health” and “family planning,” Sanger cleverly implemented her plan. What’s more shocking is Sanger’s beguilement of black America’s crème de la crème-those prominent, well educated and well-to-do into executing her scheme. Some within the black elite saw birth control as a means to attain economic empowerment, elevate the race and garner the respect of whites. The Negro Project has had lasting repercussions in the black community: “We have become victims of genocide by our own hands.”

Here are two examples.

  •  June 1932, W E B Dubois, Birth Control Review: The mass of ignorant Negroes still breed carelessly and disastrous, so that the increase among Negroes, even more than the increase among Whites, is from that part of the population least intelligent and fit and least able to rear their children properly.
  •  June 1932, Walter A. Terpenning, article “God’s Chillun,” Birth Control Review: The birth of a colored child, even to parents who can give it adequate support, is pathetic in view of the unchristian and undemocratic treatment likely to be accorded it at the hands of a predominantly white community, and the denial of choice in propagation to this unfortunate class is nothing less than barbarous.
  • October 10, 2012, Dr Alveda King [MLK’s niece]: During the 2008 elections, 70 per cent of African-Americans voted to ban same-sex marriage in California while they also voted for Barack Obama for president. [Her group says it will raise $1m in hopes of getting twenty-five per cent of blacks to vote against Obama.]
  • January 21, 2013, Dr Alveda King: I have been having mixed emotions about President Obama using the Lincoln Bible and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Bible at his inauguration, I think by the time I’m actually sitting there observing this – I’ll be watching it on television – I think the mixed emotions will be gone and I’ll just be sad. Obama’s support of abortion, same-sex marriage, and free contraception under his unpopular Obamacare reform is difficult to reconcile with my uncle’s legacy as a man of God.

I really hope that when the president – and those who handle the Bible – I hope they just, even if they just accidentally slip it open, to where it says “choose life”, or “God hates the shedding of innocent blood” or something like that, I’m hoping it will just reverberate, shake them up a little bit. Mr. President, we need jobs. We don’t need free birth control, and you’re funding Planned Parenthood. Sir, we could have had better schools with that $500 million. We could have had safer communities with that, and so we really don’t understand. If you want to help us, can you give us something that will give us jobs that will keep our children off the street?

It borders on sacrilege that Obama would on a day celebrated for a man who asked not to be discriminated against “because of his skin colour” have that equated to moral turpitude, the endorsement of a revolting, repugnant homosexual so-called choice.

Margaret Sanger’s Negro Project has taken hold with devastating consequences and people are more concerned about a 1990 fraud known as “The Willy Lynch Letter”.
