The Needs Of The Many Outweigh The Needs Of The Few

" he [President Franklin Delano Roosevelt] said thedifficulty is that it is unconstitu tional ap parently for the Federal Government to step in the lynching

situation ." Eleanor Roosevelt's , letter to NAACP's Walter Whiteon lo bbying agai nst l ynchi ngs, March 19, 1936 1

Lynching: The Shame of America"I've got to get legislation passed by Congress to save America. The Southerners by reason of the seniority rule in Congress arechairman or occupy strategic places on most of the Senate and House committees. If I come out for the anti-lynching bill now,they will block every bill I ask Congress to pass to keep America from collapsing. I just can't take that risk ." FranklinDelano Roosevelt , Harvard Sitkoff, "A New Deal for Blacks: The Emergence of Civil Rights As a National Issue: The DepressionDecade", page 46 2

In 1918 Leonidas Dyer, a Republican Senator fromMissouri, introduced the Dyer anti-lynching bill 3 toCongress and it passed through the House of

Representatives in 1922 . However, this Bill whichpromise d "to a ssure to persons within the jurisdiction of every State the equal protection of the laws, and topunish the crime of lynching ," was never passed by theSenate. 4 Southern "Jim Crow" senators protected their constituents predilection for lynching Negroes andpreserved White political power and economic controlthrough terror in the South. 5 In 1926 the Ku Klux Klan

(KKK) paraded through Washington, D.C., on Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, boasted

having between two (2) and three (3) million members and controlling hundreds of elected officials and several state legislatures in both the North and the South. 6 Asyou can see the KKK's parade down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.demonstrated the Klan's strength and boldness. 7 By 1931 Walter Francis White,

became the NAACP's executive secretary and used hisrelationship with Eleanor Roosevelt to gain access to her husband President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the former Democratic Governor from New York, regarding anti-

lynching legislation . 8 The NAACP , ( whose nine (9) co-founders included three (3) Black and six (6) WhiteAmericans 9 ) formed in 1909 on President AbrahamLincoln's 100th birthday and partly in response to thepractice of lynching Negroes, hoped that the election of Roosevelt in 1932 as the 32nd President of the United

States would end lynching . White aggressively campaigned for Roosevelt.However, in 1935 the Costian-Wagner Act, an anti-lynching bill , failed asPresident Roosevelt refused to support it. Sadly, Roosevelt claimed that Whitevoters in the South would never forgive him. 10 As such, no bill made it throughCongress. In 1939 and to his credit, Roosevelt formed the Civil Rights Section of theJustice Department which started to prosecute the crime of lynching Negroes.However, it was not until 1946 , fifty-seven (57) years since 1889, before the Justice

Department received its first conviction under federal CivilRights laws against Tom Crews, a Constable for Suwannee County in Florida . 11 In September 1945,Crews, took Sam McFadden, a Black American ArmyVeteran , into his custody for being "disrespectful." Crewsthen proceeded to whip McFadden and then forced him at

gunpoint to jump in to the Suwannee River where hedrowned. While a local jury failed to indict Crews, a federalinvestigation did find evidence that Crews had violatedMcFadden's civil rights. Crews was then sentenced to a

$1,000 fine and received all of one (1) year in prison for killing a Black man. 12

So what's the lesson here?

The promise of power and prosperity trumps values!

America, I see now. Thank you. I'm learning.

The Needs Of The Mother Outweigh The Needs Of Her Child

" under the United States Constitution, effectivepopulation-control programs, even including lawsrequiring compulsory abortion, could be sustainedunder the existing Constitution if the population crisisbecame sufficiently severe to endanger the society." John Paul Holdren , is the Senior Advisor to President

Barack Obama on Science and Technology 13,14

Abortion: The Shame of America"The law could properly say to a mother that, in order to protect the children she already has, she could have no more." [ because ]"differential rates of reproduction between ethnic, racial, religious, or economic groups might result in increased competition for resources and political power and thereby undermine social order." John Paul Holdren , is the Senior Advisor to PresidentBarack Obama on Science and Technology 15

On January 22, 1973, with a 7-to-2 majority vote in favor of Roe and Doe , 16 the United States Supreme Courtdeclared abortion is a fundamental right under the UnitedStates Constitution and by implication overturned most

laws against abortion in individual states. Since 1973 allchallenges to the constitutionality of Roe and Doe have

been struck down. Consider Webster v. Reproductive Health Services . 17 In thiscase, the United States Supreme Court upheld several abortion restrictions.Consider Planned Parenthood v. Casey . 18 Here the United States SupremeCourt reaffirmed the central holding of Roe. Consider Stenberg v. Carhart . 19 Herethe United States Supreme Court struck down the Nebraska ban by a 5-4 vote,citing a right to use the safest method for second (2nd) trimester abortion. Consider Gonzales v. Carhart . 20 Here the the United States Supreme Court handed down a5 to 4 decision upholding the constitutionality of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.

Anthony McLeod Kennedy, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court,wrote the majority opinion, however, his opinion did not address the question of whether or not the Court's prior decisions in Roe v. Wade, Planned Parenthood v.Casey, and Stenberg v. Carhart were valid. Instead the United States SupremeCourt said that the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act is consistent with thoseprior decisions whether or not those prior decisions were valid . 21 The impactof the Court's decisions has been devastating. Since 1967, when abortion was firstfound constitutional at a state level, the total number of abortions in the UnitedStates has taken the lives of over 55 million babies. 22 According to Alan

Guttmacher Institute (AGI) America performs 1.21 million abortions a year.23

Inother words, one (1) child will die in his or her mother's womb every twenty-six(26) seconds . That's 3,315 human lives lost every twenty-four (24) hours to theconstitutionally protected right of abortion on demand. To put this in no uncertainterms for the Church, yesterday on Easter Sunday (April 8th, 2012) 3,315 babieswere legally executed in abortion clinics throughout the country. Again, I amspeaking to Christians and in an effort to be absolutely clear, if every hour 138children die in utero , those same babies born would have filled 138 baby bedsduring one (1) morning worship service or 276 baby beds during two (2) worship

services or 414 baby beds during three (3) worship services or 552 baby bedsduring four (4) worship services or 3,315 baby beds by midnight. Yesterday, in your Church nursery, how many baby beds were empty !


The petitions of my physical needs

trumps the pleas and pursuits of my personal values!

America, I'm seeing much clearer now. Thank you. I'm learning.

The Needs Of Black America Outweigh The Needs Of America

"In a meeting I attended, a Black pastor friendwho had supported Governor Mike Huckabee inthe Primary Election, reported that he voted for President Obama. I was stunned. This pastor was a Republican. He was pro-life. He couldn'teven talk about abortion without weeping, yethe voted for Barack Obama. His actionsshowed me that the breach between Blacks andWhites in the political arena was much wider and deeper than I could ever imagine. Given achoice between two White candidates, he wouldhave chosen the pro-life one. But given a choice

between a Black candidate who supports abortion and a White

candidate who opposes abortion, he chose the Black one. Is it astretch to say that for many Black voters race trumpsvalues ?" Alice Patterson , author of " Bridging the Racial andPolitical Divide : How Godly Politics Can Transform a Nation" 24

Compromise: The Shame Of America"President Obama is not going to lose the black vote no matter what he does." Van Jones , Former White House adviser, duringan April 2nd, 2012 MSNBC interview. 25

Over the years several United States Presidents havesupported abortion. Republican President RichardMilhous Nixon said "there are times when an abortion isnecessary, I know that. When you have a Black and aWhite or a rape." 26 Democratic President James Earl"Jimmy" Carter, Jr. supported legal abortion in order to

prevent birth defects and in other extreme cases. 27 Democratic Presidents WilliamJefferson "Bill" Clinton 28 and Barack Hussein Obama II 29 have both taken theposition that "abortions should be legally available in accordance with Roe v.Wade." Compromise is indeed the shame of America . Over the years ,

regardless of who we support as President, Black Americans have watched America put herself first. Over the years , Black Americans have watched Americacompromise her own clear and cherished values on the backs of and at theexpense of women, children, minorities and the poor. Over the years , Black

Americans have learned from America that race trumps values. Perhaps Van Jonesis right. Perhaps it is a waste of time, talent and treasure reaching out to Black

America in the name of values. Perhaps alea iacta est (latin for: "the die has beencast"). Perhaps we are set in our ways, even at our own expense. Perhaps but I

don't buy it. The love of God has taught me a priceless lesson for such a timeas this . In Philippians 2:3 the Apostle Paul says: "Let nothing be done throughstrife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem [the] other better thanthemselves." 30

If America is going to end abortion , she must rise above her pursuit for power,prosperity and the petitions of her physical needs. She must reach for therighteousness that exalts a nation 31 and reject the temptations that lead to ruin. She

must put the needs of others, the needs of women, the need of minorities, theneeds of the poor, the needs of her children, the most vulnerable among us, aboveher own needs. She must not find concession in compromise or courage inconceding her conscience to the corrupt. If America is going to end abortion ,Black America, Latino America and White America must come to the realization thatour future and our fortunes are inextricably tied together.


When it comes to ending abortion, the needs of the oneor even the few outweigh the needs of the many.

Brothers, we really need to talk.
