Ressurrecting the African American

What began back in April, a stir to be a part of the Call DC, finally fruited it’s reality this past weekend.  With the priviledge of attending The Call in one of the most fabulous cities of the country (every citizen, and soon-to-be citizen should walk through/intake the heritage of our country) was an experience that allowed me to now be walking with new perspective.
What does it mean to uphold a democracy and be a responsible citizen?
Are we “really” obeying the standards of prayer? Jesus informed us to pray for our gov. first and foremost.
What does it mean to walk with the fear of the Lord?
These were some of the many questions that brought some practical solutions of what that meant for me.  After processing some of what I experienced, this is one of the things that were revealed to me:
It’s about that time of the decade when we begin to experience the fear of the Lord so that we see the times we live in a different light. Perhaps easier said then done, no one really can conjure up enough zeal or “interest” to be given to a “political” issue. Political is not quite the right term.
I’ve heard time and again about the issue of abortion, and yet always felt guilty for feeling no sentiment. The truth is, we really cannot have the urgent cry for justice against this unless we posture ourselves before the One who is enraged and grieved over this.    

On understanding the largeness of this issue, and doing some background reading, we have to see that abortion is merely another by product of the whole trace of Eugenics that developed first in England then arrived at our native shores. Eugenics stems from the belief, call it a spirit if you will, that certain weaker traits/persons are to be eliminated. This not only filters in the issue of abortion, but also other aspects that we now deem normal. Take birth control for example.

Margaret Sander, the founder of the pill, had her roots based on Eugenics. Take this excerpt on Sander:

Sanger’s American Birth Control Federation, which would eventually become Planned Parenthood, was founded in 1922 and soon began its work at supplying birth control and targeting the undesirables. By 1930, Sanger had a clinic in the heart of Harlem. She taught them that birth control, not better prenatal care, would produce healthier children (Green,“The Harlem Clinic”). From that point on, Sanger would continue to open clinics in strategic high-minority, low-income areas.


During the early forties, Margaret Sanger instituted The Negro Project. The goal was to pull African American leaders and preachers into the movement so as to make the black community embrace the concepts birth control. In a letter she wrote to her cohort Dr. Clarence Gamble, she said, “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 the idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members”.

Truly, this in it of itself should stir to not to come into agreement with this same line of belief, taking birth control all seems to be part of the poison interlinked with eugenics/abortion.
My main concern is how there is history of eliminating the black population from the United States of America. The brutality of slavery was none other than inhumane, right up to the 1950s, radicals were still lynching blacks and there wasn’t much being done to stop it.    

Likewise, abortion is mainly centered on eliminating black americans. Sander admittedly claimed the same reasons for birth control. The reality of where blacks in America stand today says this: 


African American Community     

-According to the CDC, each year 616,074 African Americans are born.

-458,500 babies will have died from abortion.

-284,877 blacks will have died that same year through anything from natural causes to heart disease.

-There are 743,377 Africans Americans dying yearly. This number is 127,303 more than those that are born.

-From 1973 to 2004, nearly 30% of the black population were erased through abortion. Out of the average 4,400 babies dying daily that are reported abortions, an estimated 1,300 are African American. They account for 32% of women having abortions yearly, yet make up only 13% of the American population.

-African American women are 3 times as likely to have an abortion than other women.

It is time to position ourselves before the Lord and ask him to give us new dedication to see this sickness end. To Ressurrect the millions of African Americans and declare they will see true freedom for this time and age.
