When Corruption is Rewarded...

Check Beliefs Against Historical Facts

Where beliefs are not checked against facts, but instead facts must meet the test of consonance with the prevailing vision, we are in the process of sealing ourselves off from feedback from reality. Heedless of the past, we are flying blind into the future.

Planned Parenthood Founded to Eliminate Blacks

Planned Parenthood was founded not simply as an organization for limiting the size of families in general but more particularly to reduce the reproduction of the black population in the United States, as Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger herself noted. Such ideas were common among intellectuals who considered themselves “progressive” at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Destruction of Black Culture by LEFTISTs

Whether it is the dearth of marriages and families among contemporary blacks or their lower labor force participation than whites, or their high crime rates, slavery has often been invoked as an explanation. Yet the fact is that in the late nineteenth century, when blacks were just one generation out of slavery, there was nothing like today’s levels of unwed births or failure to participate in the labor force. It has been from the 1960s onward that these social pathologies have escalated. Whatever the cause, it has arisen long after slaver had ended.

A High School Textbook Lies

[The book], Biology, by Harvey D. Goodman, et al., used by thousands of American high school biology teachers, begins by subtly discussing the theory of evolution. Not one page later the all-star cast of scientist authors proclaims this evolved from that.

Throughout this Goodman high school textbook not one single fact that supports the theory of evolution is noted. The predisposition of its authors, scientists bent on a metaphysic and uninterested in truth, becomes readily apparent. This patent bias is then impressed upon the nation’s youth. The agenda of deception is clear once you read what your child’s science textbook teaches.

The LEFT Despises Christians

In the U.S., the Left wants to impose its ideas and worldview on everyone. Most Christian churches still adhere to the precepts of the Bible and believe that abortion is wrong, that homosexuality is a sin, and that there are only two genders. For the “crime” of having common sense and following the teachings of our Creator, our churches are labeled by some secularists as “hateful,” and some are even put on the SPLC’s so-called hate map. The funny thing about the Left, particularly the woke Left, is that people of other faiths like Islam — which also labels LGBTQism an abomination — are fellow travelers. It seems only Christians are being attacked in this manner.

Pay Attention To Education

[Regarding evolution]: When fables turn into facts and receive accreditations from educators and scientists, one must fear for the future of science and for our children.

For Congressional Representation, It Was Not Between Black and White

Since slaves had no voice whatever in the selection of Southern Congressman, counting the slave population at full strength would only have give white Southerners a stronger pro-slavery contingent in Congress. Scoring points today and being serious are two very different things. It should also be noted that the Constitution’s distinction in counting people for representation in Congress was between slave and free, not black and white. Free blacks were counted the same as whites—and free blacks existed before the Constitution existed.

American Slavery Was African Slavery Purchased

Contrary to the “myths to live by” created by Alex Haley and others, Africans were by no means the innocents portrayed in Roots, baffled as to why white men were coming in and taking their people away in chains. On the contrary, the region of West Africa from which Kunte Kinte supposedly came was one of the great slave-trading regions of the continent—before, during, and after the white man arrived. It was the Africans who enslaved their fellow Africans, selling some of these slaves to Europeans or to Arabs and keeping others for themselves. Even at the peak of the Atlantic slave trade, Africans retained more slaves for themselves than they sent to the Western Hemisphere.

White LEFTISTs vs Black Culture

Nowhere was the effect of the white liberalism of the 1960s on the social evolution of black culture more devastating than in the disintegration of the black family. The raw facts are these: As of 1960, 51 percent of black females between the ages of 15 and 44 were married and living with their husbands, another 20 percent were divorced, widowed, or separated, and only 28 percent had never been married. Twenty years later, only 31 percent of black women in these ages were married and living with their husbands, while 48 percent had never married. By 1994, an absolute majority—56 percent—of black women in these ages brackets were never married and only 25 percent were married and living with their husbands. Accordingly, while two-thirds of black children were living with both parents in 1960, only one-third were by 1994. While only 22 percent of black children were born to unmarried women in 1960, 70 percent were by 1994.

LEFTISTs Have Destroyed Black Education

A crucial fact about white liberals must be kept in mind: They are not simply in favor of blacks in general. Their solicitude is poured out for blacks as victims, blacks as welfare mothers, criminals, political activists against the larger society, as well as those blacks who serve as general counter-cultural symbols against the larger society. White liberals have nothing approaching the same interest in blacks as the principal victims of black criminals or as people advancing themselves within the existing framework of American society, including many who have risen within the military, nor do they get particularly worked up over blacks who build up their own human capital or business capital. None of the many reports of black schools that excel academically seems to arouse any great interest among white liberals.

Use Discernment With Evolutionism

A good reading guideline [regarding evolution], if you are compelled to read the likes of [Steve] Jones, [Richard] Lewontin, [Richard] Dawkins, [Stephen Jay] Gould, and [Charles] Darwin, is to keep your scalpel handy and perform mental liposuction as you go. Suction out the invalidated, irrelevant, uncorroborated, unauthenticated, unsubstantiated, unverified (and unverifiable), unproven (and unprovable), plus the unwarranted statements and unbridled assumptions. You will be shocked at how little is left of evolution literature.

Evolutionism Used as Thought Control

Thought control, in the form of a sketchy theory of evolution taught as fact, already has wormed its way into schools, even if gun control has not. In many respects, that form of control is more dangerous than uncontrolled weaponry.
