Black Genocide: The Sad Truth About Abortion and The African-American Community

The term Black Genocide is an expression that a New Jersey Minister, the Rev. Clenard Childress, uses to describe the epidemic of abortions that is affecting the Black community. There is no truer way to describe this tragedy.

Statistics tell us that 1 in every 2 pregnancies of a Black woman will end in abortion. What is even sadder is the fact the NAACP has turned their backs to this heartbreaking situation:

Wall Street Journal: NAACP Ignores Their Own Members Regarding Abortion

The NAACP seems to want to ignore or forget the words of two of their most prominent members:

Martin Luther King, Jr.:

In his Letter from a Birmingham Jail, Martin Luther King said, "The early church brought an end to such things as INFANTICIDE."

Rev. Jesse Jackson:

" That is why the Constitution called us three-fifths human and then whites further dehumanized us by calling us 'niggers'. It was part of the dehumanizing process. The first step was to distort the image of us as human beings in order to justify that which they wanted to do and not even feel like they had done anything wrong. Those advocates of taking life prior to birth do not call it killing or murder, they call it abortion. They further never talk about aborting a baby because that would imply something human. Rather they talk about aborting the fetus. Fetus sounds less than human and therefore abortion can be justified.”

Are these words any less true today then the day they were first spoken? What has changed in the minds of some African-American leaders that they would walkway from Rev. Jackson’s and Rev. King’s statements? Why would the NAACP turn their backs on a crisis that is responsible for killing 50% of their babies? Has a “deal with the devil” type of arrangement with the Democratic Party been needed to achieve other social endeavors?

As I have stated in the past abortion is a human rights issue. In comparison, between 1882 and 1968, 3,446 Blacks were lynched in America. That number is surpassed every three days with the aborting of African-American babies. A fact that many in the NAACP are aware of, yet apparently choose to ignore. I wonder if Martin Luther King, Jr. would have sold out his principles as easily?
