Ambition is literally defined as a white trait by African Americans and Latinos

Have you seen a poll of African-Americans that confirms your beliefs? I believe that the OP is incorrect about how most black people view education and ambition. It's unfortunate that some others buy into his erroneous assumptions.

 

Okay then. Please go to an area where most of them live, spend some time there, and tell me what you think.

 

Dude, I'm black, I have lived in two inner cities and suburbs and your beliefs are incorrect.

 

Look, it's not that different from any ethnic group, Chinese, White, Indian.
The people who get up and move to somewhere else usually are, statistically, a little smarter than the average population. Why else would they move so far away from their own culture? Because there was some job opportunity that drew them there, and that special job opportunity probably would not have been there for them if they were not educated and very qualified for it in the first place.

Do I think that the typical person in India is as smart and ambitious as the typical Indian I see? Of course not. I know that the Indians that are granted work permits to come here are not the typical Indians.
What I'm seeing is above the average.

 

Having personal experience with school systems in low income and affluent areas, as a student and parent, it's acutely apparent that some children start life with advantages that create an uneven playing field. Their neighborhood is not an indicator of their innate intelligence.

The point that I was making in our original discussion is that the notion that most black people consider education and ambition to be character traits associated with acting white, traits to be eschewed, is patently absurd.

 

I think they call it, benefactors of White Privilege, if you strip away all semantics and realize that only the Whitest-skinned Asians really excel or succeed in a meaningful way.

 

Since Asians are Caucasians because the word Asian is contained within the word Caucasian then everyone in America must also be African Americans since the word American is contained within the words African American???

 

What is your definition of White Male Privilege.

 

What empirical truth do you have that the ambitions of White Men have a greater chance of coming to fruition???

Here's what white privilege sounds like:

I am sitting in my University of Texas office, talking to a very bright and very conservative white student about affirmative action in college admissions, which he opposes and I support.

The student says he wants a level playing field with no unearned advantages for anyone. I ask him whether he thinks that in the United States being white has advantages. Have either of us, I ask, ever benefited from being white in a world run mostly by white people? Yes, he concedes, there is something real and tangible we could call white privilege.

So, if we live in a world of white privilege--unearned white privilege--how does that affect your notion of a level playing field? I ask.

He paused for a moment and said, "That really doesn't matter."

That statement, I suggested to him, reveals the ultimate white privilege: the privilege to acknowledge you have unearned privilege but ignore what it means.

That exchange led me to rethink the way I talk about race and racism with students. It drove home to me the importance of confronting the dirty secret that we white people carry around with us everyday: In a world of white privilege, some of what we have is unearned. I think much of both the fear and anger that comes up around discussions of affirmative action has its roots in that secret. So these days, my goal is to talk openly and honestly about white supremacy and white privilege.

White privilege, like any social phenomenon, is complex. In a white supremacist culture, all white people have privilege, whether or not they are overtly racist themselves. There are general patterns, but such privilege plays out differently depending on context and other aspects of one's identity (in my case, being male gives me other kinds of privilege). Rather than try to tell others how white privilege has played out in their lives, I talk about how it has affected me.

I am as white as white gets in this country. I am of northern European heritage and I was raised in North Dakota, one of the whitest states in the country. I grew up in a virtually all-white world surrounded by racism, both personal and institutional. Because I didn't live near a reservation, I didn't even have exposure to the state's only numerically significant non-white population, American Indians.

I have struggled to resist that racist training and the ongoing racism of my culture. I like to think I have changed, even though I routinely trip over the lingering effects of that internalized racism and the institutional racism around me. But no matter how much I "fix" myself, one thing never changes--I walk through the world with white privilege.

What does that mean? Perhaps most importantly, when I seek admission to a university, apply for a job, or hunt for an apartment, I don't look threatening. Almost all of the people evaluating me for those things look like me--they are white. They see in me a reflection of themselves, and in a racist world that is an advantage. I smile. I am white. I am one of them. I am not dangerous. Even when I voice critical opinions, I am cut some slack. After all, I'm white.

My flaws also are more easily forgiven because I am white. Some complain that affirmative action has meant the university is saddled with mediocre minority professors. I have no doubt there are minority faculty who are mediocre, though I don't know very many. As Henry Louis Gates Jr. once pointed out, if affirmative action policies were in place for the next hundred years, it's possible that at the end of that time the university could have as many mediocre minority professors as it has mediocre white professors. That isn't meant as an insult to anyone, but is a simple observation that white privilege has meant that scores of second-rate white professors have slid through the system because their flaws were overlooked out of solidarity based on race, as well as on gender, class and ideology.

Some people resist the assertions that the United States is still a bitterly racist society and that the racism has real effects on real people. But white folks have long cut other white folks a break. I know, because I am one of them.

I am not a genius--as I like to say, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I have been teaching full-time for six years, and I've published a reasonable amount of scholarship. Some of it is the unexceptional stuff one churns out to get tenure, and some of it, I would argue, actually is worth reading. I work hard, and I like to think that I'm a fairly decent teacher. Every once in awhile, I leave my office at the end of the day feeling like I really accomplished something. When I cash my paycheck, I don't feel guilty.

But, all that said, I know I did not get where I am by merit alone. I benefited from, among other things, white privilege. That doesn't mean that I don't deserve my job, or that if I weren't white I would never have gotten the job. It means simply that all through my life, I have soaked up benefits for being white. I grew up in fertile farm country taken by force from non-white indigenous people. I was educated in a well-funded, virtually all-white public school system in which I learned that white people like me made this country great. There I also was taught a variety of skills, including how to take standardized tests written by and for white people.

All my life I have been hired for jobs by white people. I was accepted for graduate school by white people. And I was hired for a teaching position at the predominantly white University of Texas, which had a white president, in a college headed by a white dean and in a department with a white chairman that at the time had one non-white tenured professor.

There certainly is individual variation in experience. Some white people have had it easier than me, probably because they came from wealthy families that gave them even more privilege. Some white people have had it tougher than me because they came from poorer families. White women face discrimination I will never know. But, in the end, white people all have drawn on white privilege somewhere in their lives.

Like anyone, I have overcome certain hardships in my life. I have worked hard to get where I am, and I work hard to stay there. But to feel good about myself and my work, I do not have to believe that "merit," as defined by white people in a white country, alone got me here. I can acknowledge that in addition to all that hard work, I got a significant boost from white privilege, which continues to protect me every day of my life from certain hardships.

At one time in my life, I would not have been able to say that, because I needed to believe that my success in life was due solely to my individual talent and effort. I saw myself as the heroic American, the rugged individualist. I was so deeply seduced by the culture's mythology that I couldn't see the fear that was binding me to those myths. Like all white Americans, I was living with the fear that maybe I didn't really deserve my success, that maybe luck and privilege had more to do with it than brains and hard work. I was afraid I wasn't heroic or rugged, that I wasn't special.

I let go of some of that fear when I realized that, indeed, I wasn't special, but that I was still me. What I do well, I still can take pride in, even when I know that the rules under which I work in are stacked in my benefit. I believe that until we let go of the fiction that people have complete control over their fate--that we can will ourselves to be anything we choose--then we will live with that fear. Yes, we should all dream big and pursue our dreams and not let anyone or anything stop us. But we all are the product both of what we will ourselves to be and what the society in which we live lets us be.

White privilege is not something I get to decide whether or not I want to keep. Every time I walk into a store at the same time as a black man and the security guard follows him and leaves me alone to shop, I am benefiting from white privilege. There is not space here to list all the ways in which white privilege plays out in our daily lives, but it is clear that I will carry this privilege with me until the day white supremacy is erased from this society.

Frankly, I don't think I will live to see that day; I am realistic about the scope of the task. However, I continue to have hope, to believe in the creative power of human beings to engage the world honestly and act morally. A first step for white people, I think, is to not be afraid to admit that we have benefited from white privilege. It doesn't mean we are frauds who have no claim to our success. It means we face a choice about what we do with our success.

...I decided to try to work on myself at least by identifying some of the daily effects of white privilege on my life. I have chosen those conditions which I think in my case attach somewhat more to skin-color privilege than to class, religion, ethnic status, or geographical location, though of course all these other factors are intricately intertwined.

As far as I can see, my African American co-workers, friends and acquaintances with whom I come into daily or frequent contact in this particular time, place and line of work cannot count on most of these conditions.

1. I can if I wish arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time.
2. If I should need to move, I can be pretty sure of renting or purchasing housing in an area, which I can afford and in which I would want to live.

1. I can be pretty sure that my neighbors in such a location will be neutral or pleasant to me.
   
   
2. I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed.
   
   
3. I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented.

6. When I am told about our national heritage or about “civilization,” I am shown that people of my color made it what it is.

7. I can be sure that my children will be given curricular materials that testify to the existence of their race.

1. If I want to, I can be pretty sure of finding a publisher for this piece on white privilege.
   
   
2. I can go into a music shop and count on finding the music of my race represented, into a supermarket and find the staple foods which fit with my cultural traditions, into a hairdresser’s shop and find someone who can cut my hair.

10. Whether I use checks, credit cards or cash, I can count on my skin color not to work against the appearance of my financial reliability.
11. I can arrange to protect my children most of the time from people who might not like them.
12. I can swear, or dress in second hand clothes, or not answer letters, without having people attribute these choices to the bad morals, the poverty, or the illiteracy of my race.

13. I can speak in public to a powerful male group without putting my race on trial.
14. I can do well in a challenging situation without being called a credit to my race.
15. I am never asked to speak for all the people of my racial group.
16. I can remain oblivious of the language and customs of persons of color who constitute the world’s majority without feeling in my culture any penalty for such oblivion.

17. I can criticize our government and talk about how much I fear its policies and behavior without being seen as a cultural outsider.
18. I can be pretty sure that if I ask to talk to “the person in charge,” I will be facing a person of my race. 19. If a traffic cop pulls me over or if the IRS audits my tax return, I can be sure I haven’t been singled out because of my race.

20. I can easily buy posters, post-cards, picture books, greeting cards, dolls, toys, and children’s magazines featuring people of my race.
21. I can go home from most meetings of organizations I belong to feeling somewhat tied in, rather than isolated, out-of-place, outnumbered, unheard, held at a distance, or feared.

22. I can take a job with an affirmative action employer without having coworkers on the job suspect that I got it because of race.
23. I can choose public accommodation without fearing that people of my race cannot get in or will be mistreated in the place I have chosen.

24. I can be sure that if I need legal or medical help my race will not work against me.
25. If my day, week or year is going badly, I need not ask of each negative episode or situation whether it has racial overtones.
26. I can choose blemish cover or bandages in “flesh” color and have them more or less match my skin.

I repeatedly forgot each of the realizations on this list until I wrote it down. For me white privilege has turned out to be an elusive and fugitive subject. The pressure to avoid it is great, for in facing it I must give up the myth of meritocracy. If these things are true, this is not such a free country; one’s life is not what one makes it; many doors open for certain people through no virtues of their own.

In unpacking this invisible backpack of white privilege, I have listed conditions of daily experience which I once took for granted. Nor did I think of any of these perquisites as bad for the holder. I now think that we need a more finely differentiated taxonomy of privilege, for some these varieties are only what one would want for everyone in a just society, and others give license to be ignorant, oblivious, arrogant and destructive.

I see a pattern running through the matrix of white privilege, a pattern of assumptions which were passed on to me as a white person...

 

Since the word came long after, White Asian's skin color, then you twisted my words around for sure; shame on you, brother!

 

Have you been alive for 300 years????

Liberals believe White people, "define the societal norm,” Thus, "achievements by members of the privileged group are viewed as meritorious and the result of individual effort, rather than as privileged.” [115] In other words, liberals believe all the accomplishments of a white person, particularly white men, are the result of privilege, and are not the result of merit and effort. Liberals believe white males should be successful without even trying while simultaneously wanting white men to fail, because that is the only thing that fits with the, ‘white male privilege,’ narrative. Liberals scoff at the possibility that white males tend to be more successful because they have better principles, values, morals and ethics, such as say, taking responsibility for the consequences of their actions and choices, rather than blaming the consequences of their actions and choices on everyone but themselves. Liberals claim minorities and women are not as successful as white men because of, ‘discrimination.’ However, who blames the invisible unmeasurable force of white male privilege for their personal failings? Do white males blame white male privilege for their personal failing? Or do, liberal women and minorities blame white male privilege for their personal failings? When you’re a white male, not only are you responsible for your own bad choices, you’re also responsible for the bad choices of women and minorities according to liberals.

In 2009, the incarceration rate of black males was over six times higher than that of white males, with a rate of 4,749 per 100,000 US residents.[116][117][118] And a report by the Pew Hispanic Center, in 2007 found Latinos "accounted for 40% of all sentenced federal offenders-more than triple their share (13%) of the total U.S. adult population". [119] According to the US Department of Justice, blacks accounted for 52.5% of all homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and "Other" 2.2%. The offending rate for blacks was almost 8 times higher than that of whites. [120] [121]


The majority of juvenile delinquents and adult prisoners grew up in female-headed households. The rate at which black children are born into unmarried homes in the U.S. has gone from a quarter to three quarters. 72 percent of African American children are fatherless. There are more black children living without biological fathers in the home than children who do. [124] On the other hand, white males tend to succeed more because they tend to take responsibility for the consequences of their actions and choices. Therefore, White Males practice self-control more often and they tend to consider long-term consequences more often. For example, personally, I do not believe a few moments of fleeting pleasure are worth a lifetime of suffering to a child and it’s been shown that fatherless children are much more likely to suffer physical abuse, including sexual abuse, because of the men their mothers bring home. [124] Moreover, it’s not the fault of White Males if you are an African American and choose to have unprotected sex and as a result create an unplanned pregnancy. Having unprotected sex is a choice, and it’s no secret that a possibility of that choice is an unplanned pregnancy.

Liberals blame the actions and choices of African Americans on the history of discrimination against African Americans in the United States. In other words, Liberals blame the choices of African Americans on White Male Privilege. Liberals point to “the legacy of slavery” and Jim Crow, but back when blacks had to enter establishments through separate doors, about 85 percent of black children were born to married parents. Ironically, as integration increased, so did black out-of-wedlock pregnancies. [124]



tion? According to the Naturalization Act of 1790, only, "free white persons," were permitted to naturalize as American citizens. So the naturalization Act of 1790 not only prevented Latinos and African Americans from naturalizing as American citizens, it also forbid Asian Americans from naturalizing as American citizens. Since Asian Americans were ineligible for citizenship, it prevented Asian immigrants from accessing a variety of rights, such as voting, just as it prevented Latino American and African Americans from voting rights.[138] So, it was not only African American and Hispanics that have faced a history of systematic institutionalized discrimination in the United States, it was also Asian Americans who faced that same history of systematic institutionalized discrimination. [138] Therefore, If a history of systematic institutionalized discrimination is the reason African Americans and Hispanics are under-privileged today then why aren’t Asian Americans also under-privileged today? All three groups share the same history of systematic institutionalized discrimination but Asian Americans are doing better than everyone, including White Americans? If white privilege is real, then this should not even be possible.

Despite being just 5% of the population and having a history of systematic institutionalized discrimination against them, Asian Americans taken collectively today are not under-privileged like liberals claim African Americans and Latinos are. Asian Americans are well represented in the professional sector and tend to earn higher wages. [139] Many Asian Americans have also come to occupy high positions at leading corporations including a number of Asian Americans being Chief Marketing Officers of corporations. [140]

So, why aren’t Asian Americans under-privileged? Are Asian Americans just smarter? Several studies have found when Asian Adoptees are raised by white parents Asians have higher IQ’s [141] [142] [143]. Studying different races of adoptees raised by white parents is relevant to studying a racial basis of inheritance for intelligence because the theory is, although they may be different races, they were all raised in similar environments, by the same race of parents.

Generally, Black people, White people, and East Asian people have different average IQ’s. However the specific reasons for this remain controversial.” [144] Three studies found when East Asian adoptees were raised by white parents East Asians had higher IQ’s but a study examining these studies titled, “Racial IQ Differences among Transracial Adoptees: Fact or Artifact?,” found that when East Asian, White, and Black adoptees were all raised in the same environment by white parents the difference in their IQ’s was not statistically significant, which hints at a minimal role for genes in racial IQ differences. [144] Therefore, if Asians are inherently no smarter than other races then why have Asian Americans achieved more collectively than African Americans and Latinos? Why do Asian Americans achieve more academically and professionally than other minorities? If it’s not genetic, it has to be environmental.

Based on the evidence, and my personal observations, it is my belief that Latino and African Americans achieve less due to their environments, not due to a lack of intelligence. When a Latino or African American tries to improve their life by going to school or what have you often times their peers accuse them of, ‘acting white.’ Ambition, discipline, and perseverance are literally defined by many African Americans and Latinos as white traits. Moreover, it is my belief that is the belief in white privilege itself which leads to low achievement, not discrimination. It is the belief by African Americans and Latinos that they are inherently under-privileged and discriminated against which results in achieving less. Why take responsibility for the consequences of your actions and choices when there is someone to blame for your failures, like, say, White People and their privilege? Blaming other people for the consequences of your choices, for your actions, is not a successful life strategy for anyone, regardless of race. You’re not going to be an asset to a company if you blame other people for the consequences of your actions, and choices. Taking responsibility and not blaming others is the foundation for success. It is a prerequisite for academic and professional achievement.

The mind is very powerful and can manifest things into reality that are not real, like white privilege. For example, some people with schizophrenia smell things as if those things are right in front of their face, but there is nothing there. It is all in their mind. You’re not going to be likely to persevere through challenges if you believe there is some invisible and unmeasurable force working against you, stifling all of your efforts to overcome challenges and achieve more. By believing in white privilege, low achievement becomes a self-fullfilling prophesy African Americans and Latino’s believe there is an invisible and unmeasurable force working against them when in reality there is little evidence of systematic institutionalized discrimination against Latinos or African Americans, today. Personal responsibility is the key to academic and professional success. It is the very cornerstone of achievement.

People who believe in White Privilege behave in astoundingly ridiculous ways. For example, Students at the University I graduated from had a day banning all white people from campus, (a ban which should be unconstitutional according to the 14th amendments equal protection clause) However, a white professor showed up anyway calling the ban, “an act of oppression,” and he received death threats and he had to be escorted off campus by police. In this video, [145] posted on youtube students can be heard chanting black power while simultaneously calling white professors racist. The students were unable to comprehend the Irony in chanting, “black power,” while simultaneously calling someone else, “racist.” However, their actions do make sense in light of what is taught at liberal arts colleges in regards to white privilege. Students are taught that all white people are racist, whether, they know it or not, and African Americans are not capable of racism. Therefore, you can see how students taught white privilege can chant, “black power,” and simultaneously call someone else racist and not be able to comprehend how dumb that is. Many students come to universities with an inclination towards hating white males and by the time they graduate that inclination is often a rabid hatred of white males.

There is no doubt that people have faced a history of systematic institutionalized discrimination. However, somehow Liberals believe white people, particularly white men, should be responsible for what other white people did hundreds of years ago before anyone alive today was even born. This is a ridiculous notion. No one is responsible for what other people did before they were born. The only responsibility people have is the responsibility for their own personal actions and choices, not the actions and choices of people who were alive long before they were born, often times in places they have never even been. However, that doesn’t stop Liberals from looking at white men the same way the Nazis looked at the Jews, as the scapegoats for everything.

 

Is there any 300-yr-old American, History, which can be factually verified?!!!

 

Every person today is responsible for what their ancestors did before we were born, if said person is living today within the benefits of the residue of the inheritance of, their ancestor's colossal evil.

For example... If your ancestors from hundreds of years ago, are who helped shape The U.S. Slave Trade, thereby creating a legacy of Slavery which still burdens today's Black citizens? Oh, then yes sir, you need be rightfully held responsible for ancestor's deeds. Because you are living within the benefits of what they were hoping to create; an everlasting-society of White Privilege.

 

Poor old Oprah Winfrey she's only worth 3 billion dollars.

 

This is the introduction for my next book:


If you ask a liberal if they believe the suffering of a white male is just as important as the suffering of any other race and/or gender combination, chances are they will laugh at you. They laugh because it’s a ridiculous notion to them. It’s like asking a Nazi if they believe the suffering of a Jew is just as important as the suffering of anyone else. Liberals hate white males just as the Nazi’s hated the Jews and indeed, liberals use white males the same way the Nazis used the Jews, as the scapegoats for EVERYTHING.



I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “But aren’t there white males who are Liberals,” and you would be correct. There are white males who are Liberals. Liberals tolerate white males who are quote, “not uppity,” and quote, “know their place,” but I’m not one of those white males. I believe I’m equal to anyone, even African Americans, even a Native American Female (Native American Females are the most, ‘fashionable,’ race and gender combination of all amongst liberals).



I’m not contrite at all for being a white male. In fact, I’m quite proud of my Norwegian heritage. Having the gall to state I believe I am equal to African Americans and even Native American females upsets liberal sensibilities to such an extent, it infuriates them. How dare I, a white male, believe I’m equal to Native American females? Don’t I believe as they do that I should be punished for what other people did hundreds of years ago before anyone alive today was even born, often times in places I have never even been? Not really, I don’t believe anyone should be punished for something other people did hundreds of years ago before they were alive often times in places they have never even been.

Time travelling like this, rationalizing racism and sexism today against white males for things that happened hundreds of years ago in the past before anyone alive today was even born, is a common tactic used by the majority of liberals. Other tactics particular to liberals are psycho-analyzing. The majority of Liberals think they’re psychoanalysts. For example, Hillary Clinton blamed her husband’s philandering on his childhood. Another tactic particular to liberals is citing exceptions to generalizations and arguing the exception invalidates the rule or actually arguing the exception is the rule. There are always exceptions to every rule. There was even a Nazi who saved Jews, Oscar Schindler. Oscar Schindler saved thousands of Jews. Does that mean Nazis save Jews? Obviously, it does not. 1 + 1 doesn’t even always equal 2, in Boolean algebra 1 + 1 = 10. Does that mean 1 + 1 = 10? Obviously, it does not, except in Boolean algebra.

I’m courageous. I went to a third world country all alone during a coup de eta to surf offshore reef breaks over razor sharp coral, days away from medical care, and I’m even more intellectually courageous. I’m an equalitarian and civil rights activist working for racial and gender equality for everyone, regardless of race and gender. Yet, I chose to go to easily the most racist sexist institution of higher learning in my state and arguably the most racist sexist institution of higher learning in the entire United States of America. I chose to go to The Evergreen State College for precisely the same reason Martin Luther King JR chose to march in Selma Alabama. Martin Luther King JR chose to March in Selma Alabama because it was the most racist place in America and I chose to go to The Evergreen State College because it is arguably the most racist and sexist institution of higher learning in America.



For example, The Evergreen State College has a student lounge for, “STUDENTS OF COLOR ONLY,” harkening back to the days of segregation of African Americans and Caucasians during the Jim Crowe law days in the South of yesteryear. The Evergreen State College also banned white people from campus, which should be illegal because banning a race from a public institution violates the 14th amendments equal protection clause, the same clause used to desegregate schools in the South during the 1960’s. However, a white male professor showed up anyway and he received death threats and had to be escorted off campus by the police for his safety.



Students on campus formed , “terror groups,” carrying baseball bats as weapons as a warning to any other white male who might believe he deserves the same protections under the constitution as any other race and gender and therefore might decide to come to campus to get an education or do his job. People of color and women formed a large angry mob roaming campus, chanting, “black power!!!, black power!!!, black power!!!!” while accosting random white people minding their own business, backing them into corners and accusing them of racism.



Democrats have always been the racist sexist hate pig party. It was Democrats who lynched African Americans in the first half of the 20th century and it was Democrats who voted overwhelmingly against the 19th amendment. The 19th amendment to the constitution in 1920, gave women the right to vote, to serve as jurors, to hold property in marriage, to divorce, and to receive an education.



And contrary to popular belief eugenics for much of the twentieth century was a favorite cause of the left, not the right. [1] Eugenics is the practice or advocacy of controlled selective breeding of human populations (as by sterilization) to improve the population's genetic composition. It [Eugenics] was championed by many progressives, liberals and socialists, including Theodore Roosevelt, H.G Wells, and Margaret Sanger. For example, in 1930, Planned Parenthood founder and Feminist icon Margaret Sanger instituted, in her own words, in her book, “The Negro Project.”



Margaret Sanger also met with the Klu Klux Klan. Like Sanger, the Klu Klux Klan advocated for eugenics, and supported the use of sterilization to rid the planet of the, “unfit.” On page 366 of Sanger’s autobiography, she described her meeting with the Klan, where she says she received additional invitations to speak with similar groups:

“I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan…. I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses…. I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak…. In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered.”

Tragically, Sanger’s, “Negro Project,” was credited with forcefully sterilizing many men and women. The targets of these horrendous acts were disproportionately Black and poor and to this very day Planned Parenthood is actively pursuing the goals of Sanger’s, “Negro Project.”



A 2010 census reveals that 79% of Planned Parenthood’s surgical abortion facilities are located within walking distance of African American or Hispanic/Latino neighborhoods.” [2] While minority women make up 13% of the minority population they had 36% of all abortions. According to The Alan Guttmacher Institute, black women are more than 5 times as likely to have an abortion as white women. [3] Many Black leaders have spoken out against the birth control and family planning agenda of Planned Parenthood, even calling abortion a form of “black genocide.”

$3-billion = pennies. When weighed against the generational destruction and colossal-damage caused when influential, Kobold Black people aid powerful Racism's mission, to hurt Black America's progress in terms of any socio-econo/politico frontier America has set forth.

Did you know it is in fact "the Oprah's" among Black Slaves hundreds of years ago, who were treated best by the White society and plantation owners?

Some things still have not changed since Slavery's era began. Yes, some of the same successes which Black citizens enjoy today derived from the few successes slaves enjoyed during U.S. Slave Trade era.

For example, consider how whenever our White slave-owning ancestors would make nice profits off of selling their cotton or tobacco or whatever "they" harvest, then they would celebrate the successes. They'd often celebrate by throwing wild parties or galas as well as host formal events for birthdays or weddings or whatever special gala comes up.

Well, guess what the hosts would use as their best form of entertainment?? Yes, you probably guessed correctly;
