In celebrating Black History month at my church on Sunday, a confident eleven-year-old African Canadian boy gave a ten minute talk at the pulpit reminding and enlightening our diverse three hundred and fifty member congregation of the flaw and frailty of the human spirit towards its neighbours.

His well delivered speech included a short video clip, which re-enacted the scene of Halifax resident and teacher Viola Desmond, who in 1946 went to a movie in New Glasgow. After purchasing her ticket she seated herself on the main floor, which was reserved for white patrons only. Viola refused to move after being told that Blacks had to sit on the balcony. The police were summoned and she was dragged off to jail, without being advised of her rights. She was forced to pay a fine and charged with defrauding the Government of Nova Scotia on the difference in tax between the balcony seat and the main floor, which amounted to one cent.

For those of us in our sixties, 1946 wasn’t that long ago. Remembering, it seems unfathomable that people can have such racist mindsets.

This morning I read the LifeNews.com article that reports on the outrage from abortion advocates because of a new billboard in New York that reads: The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb.

The article goes on to read: “A representative of Life Always, Marissa Gabrysch, says her group, which paid for the billboard, is trying to draw attention to the fact that abortions kill 300,000 black unborn children annually. “There’s a grave disparity and just a huge disproportion that African-Americans represent 13 percent of the U.S. population yet represent 36 percent of abortions in the United States,” she told NBC NY.

This LifeNews report reminded me of the stunning and highly controversial documentary entitled Maafa 21. It alleges that the modern-day abortion industry targets black people and it goes on to show that the eugenics movement, which targeted African Americans in the 19th and 20th centuries, forms the basis for the abortion-rights movement of the 20th and 21st centuries and, in particular, for the creation of Planned Parenthood by Margaret Sanger. Planned Parenthood is of course known to be the world’s largest abortion provider and is funded by your tax dollars.

Those who insist that the documentary is disingenuous and incorporates just enough truth to provide a surface plausibility have to be hard pressed to argue against the appalling statistics reported today (only four years later) on LifeNews. Yes, I know they’ll probably try to convince at least themselves that there are other reasons for these statistics. I mean, when they are caught red-handed, what else would they say?

I started this Communiqué by stating that a flaw of the human spirit is its fragility and by that I mean it is far too easily, and many times unknowingly, corrupted. Two weeks ago in my Communiqué, I wrote about how selling “wrong” as “right” to a population doesn’t just happen as a result of a changing culture or a fluke. It requires study and years of hard work for its successful implementation; it utilizes psychology, social engineering, and money on the part of the organizers. Today, I’m reminding you that it is real, it is effective, and it is being used on you.

As part of Black History month, The Christian Heritage Party of Canada would like to remind its entire readership to be diligent, be mindful, and boldly stand up for what is right, to protect life and to end racism once and for all.
