    Conflict Of

    Interest

    In the abortion debate, is there a "Conflict of Interest"within the Black community and among her leaders?

    The Horrific Reality

    "The unfortunate thing we face, whether we're talking about individuals or organizations, there's never been a shortage of

    Black Leaders who are willing to sell us down the river, if its enough money and political power in it for

    them." 1 Stephen Edward Broden

    In 1971, when addressing abortion, Jesse

    Jackson said: "Those advocates of taking life

    prior to birth do not call it killing or murder;

    they call it abortion. They further never talk

    about aborting a baby because that wouldimply something human. Rather, they talk

    about aborting the fetus. Fetus sounds less

    than human and therefore [abortion] can be justified." 2 In a 1973 interview

    with Jet Magazine, Jesse Jackson once said: "Abortion Is Genocide" 3 and in

    1975 called for the ban of abortion through a constitutional amendment. The

    both priceless and definitive Maafa21 DVD clip above decidedly documents

    Mr. Jackson's reversal on abortion. 4 The evidence is clear. Over the years

    Black leadership has followed Jesse's lead and consequently betrayed their

    own people in the abortion debate. So what now? Is Black leadership (i.e.,

    the Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP and the Black Church) a lost

    cause? Is it too "late in the day" to touch the heart of Black America and

    open her eyes to the death of her own children? If the cause is not lost and if

    there is still time, what must be done now to reach and reverse the horrific

    reality of Black leadership's support for abortion?

    This is part six (6) of a seven (7) part series examining why Black Leadership

    rejects the Pro-Life movement, is helping to perpetrate the genocide of their own

    people and what can be done to reverse this horrific reality.

    Reaching And Reversing The Horrific Reality (Yesterday)

    "I think the greatest failure in reference to the abortion issue has been black leadership. I'm terribly, terribly, terribly

    concerned that the Black Church, ourBlack Congressional representatives and our social organizations, such as the

    NAACP, have been deathly silent on this issue and if silence is consent then we have this horrific reality that Black

    Leadership is helping to perpetrate the genocide of their own people." 5 Dr. Levon R. Yuille

    The 19th Century Underground Railroad

    In the early 19th century, the Underground

    Railroad, a vast network of individuals and

    organizations helped slaves escape to the

    North. It consisted of both Blacks and Whites

    working together. According to one estimate,

    the South lost 100,000 slaves between 1810

    and 1850. Harriet Tubman and one of Jill

    Stanek's ancestors, Levi Coffin are an

    example of Black and White working together. During a ten (10) year spanHarriet made 19 trips into the South and rescued over 300 slaves. Harriet is

    quoted as saying: "I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed a thousand

    more if only they knew they were slaves." Coffin's home was the "Grand

    Central Station" of the Underground Railroad. The 19th century version of

    the Underground Railroad consisted of individuals and businesses. "Stations"

    and "Depots" were where slaves would rest and were run by

    "Stationmasters." Those who contributed money

    or goods were "Stockholders." "Conductors"

    were responsible for moving fugitives from one

    station to the next. People who helped slaves findthe railroad were "Agents" (or "Shepherds").

    Slaves would obtain a "Ticket." Escaped slaves

    were referred to as "Passengers" or "Cargo." The

    Big Dipper asterism (whose "bowl" points to the

    North Star) was known as the "Drinkin' Gourd."

    The Railroad itself was also known as the

    "Freedom Train" or "Gospel Train", which headed

    towards "Heaven" or "The Promised Land." What

    I am proposing to reach and reverse the horrific reality of Black Leadership's

    betrayal of us, is the creation of a 21st century version of the Underground

    Railroad.

    Reaching And Reversing The Horrific Reality (Today)

    "I freed thousands of slaves. I could have freed thousands more, if they had known they were slaves." Harriet

    Tubman (c. 1822 - 10 March 1913), also known as Black Moses, was an African-American abolitionist.

    The 21st Century Underground Railroad

  • 8/3/2019 Betrayal Trauma (6 of 7)

    3/4

    In order to reach those born after 1973, who

    have never lived in a world without legalized

    abortion, or heard of the National Black Pro-

    Life Coalition6 or are even aware that there

    is a war being fought in America for the very

    survival of minority communities, we must

    create a 21st century version of the

    Underground Railroad. This team is made up of individuals and businesses,both Black and White, committed to protecting life made in the image of God

    (Genesis 1:27). "Stations" and "Depots" would equate to "modern day

    venues" where purposefully and prayerfully planned projects that reach

    communities of color are hosted by "Stationmasters." Those who financially

    back these projects are the "Stockholders" of the railroad. "Conductors" are

    those who are responsible for moving the

    "Passengers" from one step of freedom to

    the next by way of "educational encounters"

    designed to effectively reach and reverse the

    impact of abortion on the industry's target

    population, their #1 customer, Black

    America. After all, Harriet said she could

    have "freed thousands more, if they had known they were slaves." The

    "Passengers" are those enslaved on Uncle Sam's proposed 10.3 trillion dollar

    Plantation, a socialistic welfare state crafted to deceive and destroy the poor. 7

    "Agents" and/or "Shepherds" are individuals, business leaders and/or church

    leaders who work together in their communities, within their sphere of

    influence, creating an environment that tangibly blesses "Passengers" and

    connects them with "Conductors." If it's truethat we derive our understanding of

    everything we experience in the now from

    everything we understood in the past, then it's

    evident victory will not come from the White

    House or the Court House but by way of the

    Church House. Because victory lies within the

    heart of the Body of Christ, our Big Dipper or "Drinkin' Gourd" is the Bible

    and our "North Star" is the "Bright and Morning Star" of Revelation 22:16.

    A "Whole Life" Movement

  • 8/3/2019 Betrayal Trauma (6 of 7)

    4/4

    After thirty-eight (38) years and over fifty-five

    (55) million lives lost to the evil of abortion, 8

    it's time for a new movement, a "Whole-

    Life" 9 movement to protect all life made in

    the image of God. Maybe you are a modern

    day Stationmaster? Maybe you are a

    Stockholder? Maybe you are a Conductor?

    Maybe you're an Agent and/or Shepherd?

    One thing is certain. Time is short. My people are perishing. 10 So I'mwondering where has God called you to serve on His Underground Railroad

    and when are you going to answer His call?

    Brothers, we really need to talk.
