Wilmot, Well put, but what kind of mind could come out with such theory? A very sick and racially oriented mind indeed. How about the huge contributions Blacks are making to Science, Medicine, Law etc. etc.? Devine "Wilmot B. Valhmu" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: ** Please visit our website: http://www.africanassociation.org ** Folks, Let's be careful how we read and hear. According to the quotes below, Bill Bennett said that one "could," not "should," abort Black babies to reduce crime. (Note: I am by no means defending Bill Bennett.) People have the tendency to get emotional about things without thoroughly understanding what's being said or advocated. The forwarded e-mail below indicates that someone already believes that Bill Bennett said that Black babies "should" be aborted. From what I read, that's false. Needless to say, the word "could" indicates possibility or probability, while "should" indicates an imperative. They are not synonymous, nor do they mean the same. Please, let's note the difference before we get all hot under the collars. Having said that, I think it was stupid of Bill Bennett to make the statements or illustration attributed to him. - Wilmot --- VERA R CROWELL wrote: --------------------------------- ** Please visit our website: http://www.africanassociation.org ** It already is genocide. From BlackGenocide.org: Between 1882 and 1968, 3,446 Blacks were lynched in the U.S. That number is surpassed in less than 3 days by abortion. 1,452 African-American children are killed each day by the heinous act of abortion. 3 out of 5 pregnant African-American women will abort their child. Since 1973 there has been over 13 million Black children killed and their precious mothers victimized by the U.S. abortion industry. I have often wondered how we have come to the place where you have black men and women espousing their belief that abortion is right and should be preserved legally. There was a time when black men and women would give their lives to preserve that of a black child. It is as if they believe that if they espouse the beliefs of the majority culture, then they become more like them. Foolish, foolish. The abortion rate for black women is twice that of white women. We are destroying ourselves. ----- Original Message ----- From: Devine Akabutu Date: Friday, September 30, 2005 10:36 am Subject: It's Now A Curse To Be Black > Atsu, > > Should I take this toke seriously or just take it as a joke?
