(CNSNews.com) – Although whites outnumber blacks in Mississippi by nearly 2-to-1, 71.67% of the babies aborted in Mississippi are black, while 26.6% are white.
Based on data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 39,052 black babies were killed by abortions in Mississippi between 1995 and 2010. During that same time period, 14,529 white babies were aborted in the Magnolia State.
The total number of abortions between 1995 and 2010 in Mississippi was 54,484. In addition to blacks and whites, that number also includes abortions among Hispanics, "Other" (meaning Asian and Native American), and "Unknown," as published by the CDC.
The data for 2010 is the latest information from the CDC on reported abortions, as published in their annual Abortion Surveillance reports. The next report, which will cover 2011, is projected to be published in November of this year.

The population of Mississippi for 2012, as estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau, was 2,986,450. Among that group, whites comprised 59.9% or 1,788,883 persons. Blacks comprised 37.4% of the population, which equals 1,116,932 persons. The balance in population was comprised of Hispanics (2.9%), and American Indian, Pacific Islander and Asian (less than 1%).
Whites in Mississippi outnumber blacks by a ratio of 1.6-to-1. Despite that difference, the data show that black abortions comprised, on average, 72% of the total over the last 16 years.
Although black abortions comprised 72% of the total abortions between 1995 and 2010, in some years the percentage was higher. In 2009, for example, the percentage of black babies killed by abortion in Mississippi in relation to the total was 76.8%. In 2007, it was 77.8%; in 2005, 77.2%.

We need a facebook page to demand reparations from the descendants of slaves.
And the KKK laughs because they didn’t have to lift a finger to kill blacks. And watch for them to start opening abortion clinics. After all, they have the sheets already.
... and enjoying spectacular success with unwavering support of those most affected and with the encouragement of their "protectors" -- the Democrat Socialists.
Whenever “people of color” start demanding reparations, I always wonder how those folk are going to re-pay my family for their sacrifice. Of course, that side of the equation never enters into anyone’s mind because reparations aren’t about justice. Reparations are about outcome equality and revenge. The president wants revenge against every that is white due to the British having jailed his grandfather. Reparationistas want revenge against people that had no part in either their ancestors’ problems or their current problems. Those are merely excuses.
