Civil Rights Leaders Care More About Planned Parenthood Than Black Families

If black lives truly mattered to civil rights organizations, they would spend more time promoting strong families and less energy pushing abortion on demand.

Barack Obama's somber reflection on the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade was hardly surprising, but it signaled how the former president's own priorities have shifted in the past 15 years.

As a candidate and president, Obama talked openly about marriage, family, and fatherhood. The loudest critics whenever he did so were always his black progressive supporters. Still, he gave a speech about violent crime in Chicago 10 years ago that very few elected Democrats would endorse today. It included this observation:

There's no more important ingredient for success, nothing that would be more important for us reducing violence, than strong, stable families—which means we should do more to promote marriage and encourage fatherhood.

Countless black progressive politicians, pundits, professors, preachers, and performers—what I've previously termed the Afristocracy—gushed over stories that painted the Obamas as the prototypical black power couple. But they rejected his attempts to tie family structure to social outcomes because they believe racial inequality is caused by systemic forces, not individual decisions. The family is the one institution they show no interest in discussing.

The criticism seems to have worked. All references to the connection between fatherhood and social outcomes were removed in the 2016 and 2020 Democratic Party platforms.

The intentional destruction of the black family that started with Wilson, escalated with the Great Society, continues apace.

The Democrats' view of minorities hasn't changed one iota since the day their cult was founded about 200 years ago. They still view blacks as property (and black Republicans as stolen property.) As Candace Owens says, "Liberals think they own blacks -- still."

All that has changed is the color of the hoods.

Civil rights leaders care more about what’s in their back pockets than black families.

The funny part is that black folks jumped back on the slave master plantation gleefully, and they willfully remain dependent on the slave masters for their daily bread. Pretty amazing they choose slavery over freedom to begin with, maybe they don’t understand that Dependence isn’t much different than whips and chains, you still a SLAVE to the Master.

The greatest enemies of black people is their very own peers, the pretend civil rights leaders and white liberals

The site 1st Choice says there are more abortions per black woman than babies born to them.

2020 one year totals for reported abortions in the US.

108,904 White women
130,538 black women
70,420 Hispanic women
from kff.org

Are these accurate? It’s very hard to get anything but percentages and vague summaries of past years. Looks like someone is suppressing raw numbers per year except the one above. From Abortion Surveillance, United States, 2020.

Strong father narrative is not compatible with “it’s all white people’s fault.

They care more about a great number of things more than they care about black families.

Or to put it more succinctly --- DUH!

In 1863, Lincoln freed the slaves. In 1933, Roosevelt bought them back.

“Civil rights leaders” are Democratic Party operatives, in it for the money.
