Racist or Realist?

Tell us how you really feel!

Life Always, an anti-abortion extremist group, is under fire for a recent billboard it posted up in NYC. What is more outrageous than the content of this billboard? Is the money that was wasted on this billboard could have prevented at least ten abortions.

The ad, put up in SoHo read as follows: "The most dangerous place for an African American is the womb". Well, I have to tell you, I had a great time in the womb! I had so much fun that I stayed an extra week (there was shagged carpeting in there and everything, or that could have just been my moms ingrown pubs - but I was having a blast!). The most dangerous place for a child is not the womb, but when someone is reaching up in the womb with a suction hose trying to suck a child out - that's when the climate starts to change;and that is for any womb that has found its way into an abortion clinic, not just a black one.

There are numerous ways that a child can die, "hello, crib death". Actual there are a '1,000 Ways to die' for anyone - according to the popular T.V. of the same name. So, what was this billboard all about? Was it really a cry for help? Was it really a call to action? As the leader (Pastor Stephen Broden)of Life Always stated: "The black community is oblivious to what is going on with this practice.."

Wow, who is more oblivious than this guy? Don't you think that a community that is having abortions at such an alarming rates (according to Life Always), is fully aware of what is going on? I think at some point a black woman would be in the abortion clinic and say "Boy, the ten times I've come up in here I've seen nothing but other African-Americans". (P.S. - Thanks for being politically correct enough to call us African-American, cause something about the way that billboard read tells me you had to edit out using the n-word). I don't think so. I think the word this ignoramus meant to use was apathetic. Which, also i not the case.

This country is a dangerous place for minorities in general. We are the last hired, first fired. In a time of economic depression, we are the ones that are hit the hardest becase we don't control any economic power as a country. However, that is said for females, as well. The only womb that a baby would be safe in i that of a white male, however, despite everything that he has done to make himself a god - the man still can't have babies. Oh, right, he can...Thomas Beatie.

Broden, is trying to put the abortion crisis on the black community so that whites can feel like its a "minority issue" and ignore it out right. "This is a black issue, we don't have to worry about abortion, it's their problem". We did the same with welfare; it's a black issue so who cares, but more white people were on welfare than black so guess who really got the short end of the stick?!

Until we realize that these social issues are OUR problem as a whole, and stop trying to put them off on other groups, we will continue to be stagnant as a country. Who cares who is historically on welfare, or having abortions, or is homeless -work on fixing the problem. Not laying blame.


Additionally, if you really care about getting the message out ot the black community - run the ad where blacks are a predominant culture. Not in SoHo, where the demographic is more white. Duh!
