CINCINNATI, (christiansunite.com) -- The following statement was made by Day Gardner, President of the Washington, DC based National Black Pro-Life Union, at a press conference on Monday, July 14, at the Duke Convention Center, in Cincinnati:Good Afternoon. As a child I thought the NAACP to be a superhero organization; an organization that would fight racism right down to its very core.
A superhero organization wearing a mighty breastplate forged in polished steel, the words freedom and liberty emblazoned where the hearts of all black Americans pounded in rhythm to the spiritual "we shall overcome." A superhero organization whose cape was the American flag, whose powerful voice rang in tones of equality for all-- planting his feet firmly on the Bible--standing on the word of GOD Almighty.
I remember a time while growing up in the 1960s, my chest swelled with pride whenever I heard that the NAACP had become involved in righting some horrible wrong in an effort to stamp out racism.
Today, I am standing here shoulder to shoulder with my brothers and sisters in front of the Duke Convention Center where the NAACP is holding their 99th annual convention.
We are here to rally the NAACP--to make our voices heard as we shout in unison--all across this great nation that the struggle is not yet over! The evil hand of racism is still at work in this country and living in the bowels of Planned Parenthood.
After the Civil War, black men, women and children who were freed from the shackles of slavery were now breeding and migrating to cities and towns by the thousands. Planned Parenthood's founder, Margaret Sanger was a slick racist. She initiated an evil plot to eliminate the Negro population called the Negro Project in 1939.
Planned Parenthood was founded in hate and racism and we know that still today. It has not strayed from its racist roots.
In the recent YouTube video* we hear the voices of the Planned Parenthood organization as employees gladly accept racist donations. We cringed when we heard the excitement of employees glad to accept donations specifically targeting "black children."
Planned Parenthood is a billion dollar baby killing machine that receives the bulk of its blood money from the vicious dismembering and killing of innocent children.
And one third of those billion dollars comes from you and me -- the tax payer. The question of the day is: Why are we forced to pay well over 300 MILLION dollars to an organization that is overtly racist and drenched in the blood of black folk?
We stand before you today with our eyes open to the truth. There are no scales on our eyes. We aren't Negroes anymore. We are not easily deceived as we were back in 1939. Our eyes are opened to the lies and the trickery of Planned Parenthood. Our eyes are opened to their racist agenda.
We are calling on the NAACP to stand boldly with us to defund Planned Parenthood, and in even lead the way in this, the greatest struggle for civil rights.
