Black is beautiful just turned ugly. A California organization has been accused of racism because it ran pro-life outdoor boards in black neighborhoods.
Of course it sounds insane. But Representative Barbara Lee is involved in the story, so it’s insane by definition.
CNB has the story of the aborted ad campaign:
…The Issues4Life Foundation and The Radiance Foundation have launched a pro-life billboard campaign with the goal of saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of black babies aborted in America each year.
“The impact of abortion in the black community is the Darfur of America,” Walter B. Hoye II, president of the Issues4Life Foundation, told Life Site News.
The signs in question contain the message “Black & Beautiful” and are going up in largely black communities in Oakland, Calif.
Statistics show that black women are three times more likely to have abortions as the general population. So it would seem to be a good idea to run the ads in black neighborhoods. But, no, attempting to save the lives of black babies is – you guessed it – racist.
… Planned Parenthood and California pro-choice groups are calling the ads racist. They say the “black & beautiful” slogan is too close to the “black is beautiful” cultural-pride campaign made popular in the 1960s.
Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., has also spoken out against the billboards.
“I am deeply offended by the race-based billboards that are being displayed in my congressional district by the Radiance Foundation and Issues4life,” she said in a statement.
“These billboards stigmatize women of color and perpetuate myths about parenting skills and the types of women who seek and use abortion services,” Lee added.
You know the race mongers have truly jumped the shark when attempting to save the lives of black babies is called racism.
And in the case of Barbara Lee, it’s just too bad that retroactive abortion isn’t legal.

The liberals must surely want what Sanger wanted, ethnic cleansing. They have to know what she was about if they can read. They can declare all day that the right to abort your babies is about the rights of women and their health etc but there is no way they can believe that. It is a sly, under-handed liberal trick and they have fooled and have given the women, mostly black, an out if they get pregnant. Just kill the little sucker and go on with your life until the next time, then do it again. We'll even get the taxpayers to pay for it. At the rate of black abortions and the black killing on the streets we should see quite a decline of blacks in this country in the not too far future. Just what Sanger wanted.
exactly
With Gosnell this issue has become even more prevalent these days. He made a point to treat Black Women with great disdain and had no problem murdering children who were alive out of the womb (who were Black). Gosnell is a racist and all who worked for him. There was this woman who admitted that Planned Parenthood stood by the same belief system that Gosnell (he just took it a bit too far). I don't understand why this is happening other than ignorance, but I hope that with the rise of Conservative Blacks they can go into the churches and community and educate. It is sorely needed.
What do Barack Obama, Planned Parenthood and the Democratic Party all have in common? Abortion and ethnic killing of babies!

Thanks for the video, TaterSalad. Abortion's disproportionate effect on the black community in the United States is something the media won't touch. Nor will they speak about the condescending attitude many liberals have towards blacks. Consider the following.
"Frankly I had thought that at the 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."

Our politicians must be high on whatever we confiscated from the Zatas during that so cxalled "war on drugs thing. (roll eyes).
How in the hell is SAVING a life RACEISM???? I personally am pro life and pro women's rights, but how does THAT spill over into making me seem raceist??
Hell, just being white is racist.
No. Not for most thinking common sense people. This is what liberals want you think, but it is not the truth.
Hell, just being white is racist.
*********************
Only when said white person repeats derogatory stereotypes about people of other races.
But I realize that it's currently very trendy, among the far right, to claim victimhood. Especially when they're guilty as charged. ;)
TURDS!!!!
For someone who doesn't take it personally you sure do react to it often enough.
She doesn't realize that is part of the entertainment for us. She is playing right into our hands.
She falls for it time and again. It's like we're Lucy's and she's Charlie Brown.
Olivia:"What makes you think liberals are coercing black women into having abortions."
I'll never forget the post of an African-American woman I read on FreeRepublic a few years back: We ask for shopping centers and development opportunities in our communities. We get abortion clinics.
Our elites do the same thing at the international level. They tie aid to poor countries to those countries giving up their belief in family by agreeing to take on Western contraceptive and abortion practices.

Did you give her the standard pat right wing solution that, if there aren't any opportunities in her community, she should just move?

Thank you! You deserve one as well. Whack-a-trolling has become an olympic sport. LOL
Maybe one day we wll go pro.
Well, Olivia gets paid to post, why shouldn't we get paid to whack?
The pay might not be great but job satisfaction sure is.
I agree!
Yes Trolivia, as my parents moved from states and countries with few jobs or opportunities they came to California because they were jobs. Do you liberals expect us to just bring prosperity to every door with out people even bothering to look for it? Typical fuzzy thinking liberal ideas in action.

Didn't say that, or anything like it. But "MY PARENTS did it, so it's impossible that anyone else could have any obstacles preventing them from doing the same thing" is about as narrow minded and logic free a notion as I've seen posted here today. :D
Ever stop to think that perhaps your parents had opportunities and help that isn't necessarily available to all Americans? Because, if you refuse even to consider that possibility, then you're not using good sense. You're using sentimentality and wishful thinking.
Trollivia, my father came from the dust bowl of Oklahoma. Okies were despised easily as much as black people in the 1930's. I'm so tragically sorry he and my mother worked rather hard (key word, work instead of welfare) and made all those others who are third generation government hand outs look so bad. Please please explain to me where the fences and guard towers are located that restrict poor people to their side of the city?
Oh, since my parents cannot count let me use myself as an example. I left home with a high school education, just like anyone else who bothered to attend the free schools mandated by the government, and went to work. (Key word, work, not welfare, not baby machine free food stamps government hand outs, not selling drugs or robbery, work) I then went to work in gas station, followed by another gas station job, then fueling trucks for pac bell, then the California oilfields. Funny how any other person could have easily taken these low paying back breaking jobs, but I guess welfare is easier when you think about it. I started with ZERO money, just like everyone else. But i woke up and went work everyday and made something of myself.
Now, my point is this. With all the government rules and regulations and affirmative action laws, how can those on welfare possibly say" I can't find no jobs". I am sorry if they expect the good job right away, I never got that until years later. The problem is you liberals making excuses for those too lazy and drug addled to work.

No need for "control towers," JWilson. That's what street gangs are for.

Gosh, I guess you didn't realize that most of those gas station attendant jobs are gone...for quite a few years now. They've been replaced with irregular-hours, no-benefits, part-time jobs that don't pay a living wage. What's more, if a person lives in the middle of the city or out in the middle of nowhere, s/he's got to have transportation to get to those jobs--preferably, transportation that doesn't cost more than the job itself is worth.
Gone are the days when a person with a high school diploma could take a low level job, and work his way up to one with good pay and benefits. Most of those low level jobs have gone overseas, JWilson. Like many reactionaries, you're sighing for the Good Old Days, that in many cases weren't as rosy as depicted, and are in any case gone forever. It's a different world out there today, and those who start with nothing are at a huge disadvantage. What's more, a low level employee no longer has an "in" for a better job, because companies will often hire degreed personnel from the outside for those jobs.

Welfare doesn't pay anything like a living wage, JWilson. If you think it's easy to run a household purely on government benefits, why not try it for yourself sometime? And let's not forget that TANF is not an open-ended program. A lot of far righters didn't get that message 16 years ago. ;)

That's just lovely, JWilson (I love the way these far righters constantly brag about themselves), but how can one go to work every day if there are no jobs?

*************************
I know plenty of "drug addled" far righters who claim to hold down jobs, JWilson. Addictive drugs (including alcohol) are no respecters of social class or income level. What's more, most addicts aren't going to be able to clean up on their own, without help from the outside. I know you don't WANT to believe that (it sort of cramps your style, when you're busily demanding that they just get over it), but it's a fact. It's also a fact that those who are in poor health don't tend to be able to do a good job at work-----and it's not at all uncommon for uninsured Americans to be in poor health, without even realizing it.
But thank you for doing one thing: validating my claim that some far righters here tend to dump on urban black Americans, rather than recognizing that poverty and dependence on government "handouts" are also a feature of many rural WHITE communities. (Oh, yes, you did, with your smarmy little remark about "affirmative action," and your focus on the city rather than depressed rural areas.)
Poppajoe, I accept your apology. ;)
Is it just me, or is Olivia the most racist person here?
She's saying we shouldn't suggest that people can better themselves, because they're not her race, and suggesting that they can improve is racist.
I think Hitler held the same view didn't he? The view that people who are not his people should just die. Because you can't even suggest that they can improve, so just do it for them!
World religions on the other hand are all about telling people they have a chance if they follow a certain truth. She teaches another truth, that of despair. Maybe Olivia should start her own religion, then her followers can administer her cutting for her.
She'll give them that choice.

I don't think anyone has ever missed the point as much as just now. Do you read ANYTHING that disagrees with you, or do you really just let conservatives spoon feed you ideas?
Dunno, but at least my spoon is clean. I'm not a conservative in my own country (綠黨). I'm just open minded enough to see things for how they are.
How about you try being open minded, ever.
So many people just look at the party lines and think the whole world rotates around them.
Do you ever stop and think maybe there might be something that isn't right in your party? That maybe what your beloved media tries to push on you might be slightly wrong?
If your "gods" told you to kill babies and eat their spleens so you feel better, would you? Oh wait you do... Embryos, right. That's real civilized. Let's just deny that they're actually babies, especially if they're black.
Renew your Karma and abort yourself.
Sometimes, you gotta make your own opportunities rather than wait for someone else to give you one.
3rd!
Me:The black child is massively aborted.
You: Oh, I bet you don’t care if black people end up in prison or on the street. And I bet you don’t give to charity.
*************************
Here's a more honest version of the exchange:
You: The black child is massively aborted, and it's all the fault of the liberals.
Me: What makes you think liberals are coercing black women into having abortions?
Your coercing people to have abortions by keeping it LEGAL. Its a cowardly crime to make a cruel vicious act legal then saying" It's their choice". When will you take the next step like a good Nazi and say," useless eaters are next on out list." The innocent need protection and adoption, not murder and a pathetic liberal excuse.
Thank you for your translations. We conservatives and libertarians be too darn dumb to read! Appreciateness.
