If your ancestors had been aborted, you wouldn't even have had the chance to be here. If your ancestors were enslaved, there's no doubt that they suffered greatly but still the black race continued and was eventually made free and you were given the chance to live. Abortion is far more devastating to the black community than slavery because it takes away the future of the race. Well, Dr Thompson let’s look at it this way.

There just aren’t so many of us right now that are conscious of the real challenges that are facing this nation.  So many Americans only know what they see on TV.  People like us need to work together.  We need to network and organize so that we have the foundations of a movement ready when the American people really begin to wake up to the horrible scam that’s been played on us all.   Sincerely, Matt Rawlings   My email address is <a href="mailto:ibigkojr@hotmail.com" rel="nofollow">ibigkojr@hotmail.com</a>  or you can find me on facebook.
