Sometimes It Pays to Double Check... RE: Dorothy Roberts Book
Nixakliel - 02/21/2012 - 12:38
The Author refers to Dorothy Roberts book 'Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction and the Meaning of Liberty,' to justify giving Sanger's Eugencist tendencies a pass, even implying that MLK, Malcolm X [the 1st time I've heard this one before] & Mary McLeod Bethune [also haven't heard that one before] supported Sanger's birth-control initiatives for Black People [IE: her 'Negro Project']. Well here's what Amazon.com says is the main thrust of Sis Roberts book: } 'Roberts, a law professor at Rutgers University, makes a no-holds-barred response to both the liberal and conservative retreat from an assertive, activist, and socially transformative civil rights agenda of recent years--using a Black feminist lens and the issue of the impact of recent legislation, social policy, and welfare "reform" on {poor}Black women's- control over their bodies' autonomy and their freedom to bear and raise children with respect and dignity in a society whose white mainstream is determined to demonize, even criminalize their lives. By using history of American law--beginning with slavery-- regarding the issue of state interference with the Black woman's body, the author explosively and effectively makes the case for the legal redress to the racist implications of current policy with regards to 1) access to and coercive dispensing of birth control to poor Black women 2) the criminalization of parenting by poor Black women 3) the stigmatization and devaluation of poor Black mothers under the new welfare provisions... ' - "African American women have been engaged from the start in an ongoing fight to gain control of their reproductive choice. First, in days of American slavery, from being controlled by white "masters" who forced slaves to produce children to work for them, and now, from government "solutions" to African American child-bearing like the distribution of the long-term contraceptive Norplant in African American communities... Abortion should not be the sole issue of a truly progressive reproductive rights movement because coercive sterilization and contraceptive programs are also painful incidents in black women's reproductive history. Roberts also takes the mainstream feminist movement to task for failing to oppose recent 'welfare reform victories' [Ole Slick Willie at work in bi-partisanship w Newt Grinch-witch] because of the destruction such punitative measures have on Black communities. Although most recipients were and continue to be white, policy debates were flooded with inferred images of the Black "welfare queen" to foster and exacerbate racial and class tensions..." - {
Four categories of criminal acts cited in the 1951 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide include, not just the physical killing of members of “national, ethnical, racial or religious” groups, but also the infliction of serious harm to members of the group; imposition of conditions of life that are calculated to bring about destruction of the group- in whole or in part, or measures intended to prevent births among the group.So lets add this all up: PPFA's founding 'mother' Margret Sanger was an avowed Eugenicist [if not out right racist] who instituted a 'Negro' Project [How does one reconcile this assertion “It appears that Sanger was motivated by a genuine concern to improve the health of the poor mothers she served rather than a desire to eliminate their stock.” w this Sanger quote- "Programs that provide "medical and nursing facilities to ‘slum mothers’ are insidiously injurious,… {Because} they facilitate the function of maternity {for ‘slum mothers’} when the absolute necessity is to discourage it…"
Margret Sanger’s ‘The Pivot of Civilization’ chapter "The Cruelty of Charity." pgs 114 -115 1st Ed 1922.] 75% of PPFA centers are in/near Black & Brown neighborhoods even though both together = only 29% of US' population ["Our birth control clinics all over the country are doing their utmost to reach the 'lower strata' [IE: minorities] of our population. . ." Margret Sanger’s March 1939 Letter to Frank Boudreau, of the Milbank Memorial Fund]. Results: Black & Brown abortions = 60% of the total [even though they both together = only 29% of the US' population]. 52% -56% of all Black pregnancies & 29 - 33% of all Hispanc pregnancies are terminated in abortion- while only 9% of white pregnancies terminate in abortion. HUMM- If the subject were 'Stop & Frisk' instead of so-called 'Freedom of Choice' [a term popularized by non-other than Ole Slick Willie by the way]- IMO: We'd call this a clear-cut case of Racial Profiling!!!
About 1 yr ago this author wrote a piece which made the hyberbolic claim that the Repugs move to cut Gov't funding of PPFA = RAPE of women [especially Black & Brown Women]. Here the author suggests the claim of Genocide vis-a-vis Black & Brown abortions & PPFA is Hyperbolic. But if one looks at what Sis Dorothy Roberts documents, the 1951 UN definition of Genocide & Black & Brown abortion stats vs locations of most PPFA clinics - IMO - the term Genocide is not hyperbolic at all!
From the above article: } 'Or what about those holy rollers who trusted in God’s plan but can’t quite accept that experiencing rape and incest is a gift? Black and Latina women live in hyper-religious communities that have disproportionately high rates of rape and sexual assault. Restricting abortion access is clearly part of God’s plan.' {
First of all only the most extremist elements on this topic insist on NO exemptions & exceptions in the case of rape & incestial rape - thus IMO: this is something of a red-herring. 2nd-ly Apparently its not sufficient for the author to attack the Black Church- even though, despite its short-comings & many valid criticisms- has certainly contributed far more to the Black freedom struggle & Black Community than PPFA [PS: The most 'religious' church goers in the Black Community are none other than Black Women! {A Fact quite evident at Whitney Houston's Funeral service this past Sat]. BUT- This statement IMO: is a thinnly veiled attack on Black & Brown men [Black & Brown men are disproportionally {compared to white men?} incest molesting rapists IE: back to the 'Precious' slander]- w NO data to back it up. SO-Who bennefits from pitting Black & Brown women vs Black & Brown men??!!

Unfortunately for you, these tough economic times are forcing these crackers to make no bones about their UN "Agenda 21" plans for us all. Apparently this womens "liberation" hustle is not working fast enough for them.

"Michigan is breeding poverty"

[Excerpt]
Since the national attention is on birth control, here's my idea: If we want to fight poverty, reduce violent crime and bring down our embarrassing drop-out rate, we should swap contraceptives for fluoride in Michigan's drinking water.
We've got a baby problem in Michigan. Too many babies are born to immature parents who don't have the skills to raise them, too many are delivered by poor women who can't afford them, and too many are fathered by sorry layabouts who spread their seed like dandelions and then wander away from the consequences.
Michigan's social problems and the huge costs attached to them won't recede until we embrace reproductive responsibility.
Last year, 43 percent of the babies born in Michigan were to single mothers. And even though Medicaid pays for birth control, half of the babies born here were to mothers on welfare. Eighteen percent were born to teenagers who already had at least one child. And nearly 1-in-5 new babies had mothers with no high school diploma.
In Michigan, poverty is as much a cultural problem as it is an economic one.
I spoke with an educator who is dealing with a single mother, mid-30s, with 12 children and a 13th on the way. The kids have an assortment of fathers with one thing in common — none married their mother. This woman's womb is a poverty factory.
It wouldn't matter if Michigan's economy were bursting with jobs, the woman and her children would still be poor.
Who's supporting these kids? If you're a taxpayer, you are. The roughly 45,000 children a year born onto the welfare rolls is a major reason Medicaid will consume 25 percent of next year's budget.
Those kids are more likely to grow up to be a strain on Corrections spending or welfare recipients themselves. And they'll drain money from the schools and universities that could help break this cycle.
In the 1990s, Michigan considered penalizing women who had more babies while on welfare, but pro-life groups killed the idea out of fear it would lead to more abortions.
Now, says state Human Services Director Maura Corrigan, the state is trying other measures, including attacking school truancy and the new four-year limit on welfare benefits, which she says is already increasing participation in work training programs.
"We are trying to get at generational poverty," she says. "We're studying positive incentives to change."
But she says the cultural breakdown is a strong tide to row against.
"We're watching marriage move from being part of the social fabric to being merely optional," says Corrigan, who devotes her personal time to working with disadvantaged children. "The kids I mentor don't know people who are married."
They do know people whose irresponsible behavior is being subsidized by their neighbors.
And as long as the taxpayers of Michigan keep paying for them, those babies will keep on coming.
