RH Reality Check gloat check: Oakland billboards came down because contract expired

Jivin J reported yesterday that an RH Reality Check blogger was claiming pro-abort responsibility and victory for the 60 “Black&Beautiful” pro-life billboards erected around the Oakland, CA, area coming down….

On behalf of all of us who have worked on the campaign to remove the racist, anti-choice billboards in Oakland, I want to say thank you for all you did. So many of you emailed CBS Outdoor and spread the word about the action that we were able to generate thousands of emails to CBS Outdoor insisting on the removal of the billboards….
When the billboards were removed early Monday morning, all of us were relieved, and held our heads high as we walked our own streets….
Um, sorry, Eveline, the only reason the billboards came down was because the contract expired. See above.
And I’d like you to explain just how the billboards were “racist” in the first place. Is it racist to say Black is beautiful? Are you saying Black is ugly? Is it racist to say too many black babies are aborted? Are you saying you don’t think enough black babies are aborted? Or that the skewed statistics are a-okay? Which of our groups is actually racist?

I love it when the pro-death lies are exposed. Thank you. Their father is “the father of lies.” PP lies to you. Satan comes to “lies, steal and KILL”.
They’re so low on actual pro-abortion victories, they need to invent some to rally the troops! Must be rough, being on the wrong side of history.
Apparently it’s racist to point out racism, except when you’re a lefty. Then you’re just projecting.
Here is what our local Sacramento abortion director, Shauna Heckert, of Women’s Health Specialist abortion business, says on their website, regarding the billboards http://www.womenshealthspecialists.org/ and a copy of her personal letter to CBS Outdoor billboard company, calling the “Black and Beautiful” message: racist, sexist, and an offensive, vicious attack meant to shame and criticize women.

Re;
women’s Health Specialists.
Wow, way to call the kettle “racist”, WHS!
I’m still trying to figure out how “Black and beautiful” is “racist”…????
Your claim here holds no water…
Yes I can read the contract as well as the rest of you but the question that is not answered is why was that contract not renewed??? We can all see the contract expired but it was RH Reality Check’s efforts that stopped the contract from being renewed…
So, Game point RH Reality Check…
Racist Origins – These billboards are from the “Black Genocide” school of thought which is a racist concept. I have argued and stated my views on that subject many times so if you need clarification on how that school of thought is racist just read some of my other posts on this subject.
Biggz,
Do you have any evidence that they wanted the contract to be renewed?
Most communications specialists recognize that if you leave the same message up for too long, people become “immune” to it. Advertisers usually vary their markets and messages.
If you have any evidence that their contract wasn’t renewed please share. Otherwise your claim of, “I know that they wanted to keep spending more and more money to deliver the same message to the same people forever and ever without ever stopping or choosing a new location or audience.” is ridiculous.
@Biggz…Honestly, can pro-aborts grasp any more??? They conjure up all kinds of scenarios but deliberately ignore the tangible empirical evidence right in front of them (i.e. any abortion stats).
The campaign was only meant to be a 4-week run. We’ve only ever chosen to renew 1 of our campaigns. That was in LA and the billboard company granted it without any issue. We have much more in store in other cities across America to help save beautiful possibility no matter the race.
Forget about getting that proof, Biggz.
The instant replay shows TooManyAborted.com actually had the game point.
Good game. Firm handshake.
People need to learn what the term ‘racist’ means before tossing it around.
That opening statement by Ms. EVIL-LINE Shen is so ridiculous it’s laughable. The contract expired. CAN’T SHE READ ??? Can ANY of them read ???
The message of the billboards got out there and didn’t stagnate as it would have if left up indefinitely.
With all the statistics that exist about the percenatge of black babies that are aborted, these pro-aborts continue to deny the truth.
Try again Ms. Shen…you really made a fool of yourself with this one.
If her proaborts have so many supporters why don’t THEY put up THEIR own billboards?
Thank you Ryan Bomberger for responding to the LIES of the pro-death crowd. God bless you for your awesome billboard campaign.
Biggz needs to read Noam Chomsky’s book, Manufacturing Consent.
This is Alveda King’s facebook status today
Every three days, more African-Americans are killed by abortion than have been killed by the Ku Klux Klan in its entire history.
Thank you, Ryan Bomberger!! Keep fighting the good fight!!

Its also possible someone else contracted to use the spaces after this contract expired.
They may have several contracts lined up for the spaces and everyone has to take their turn.
The “racism” logic is hard to follow. I suppose it works something like this:
1) To the pro-aborts, abortion is never a “bad” choice. Abortion is always carefully premeditated and “best” for the woman and her child.
2) If African-American women choose to kill their children at a very high rate, that is what is best.
3) It is therefore a racist and sexist insult, insisting that the high rate of abortions selected by African-American women is “less than best.”
In general, the charge of “racism” is not based on any sort of logic. Abortion hurts. Racism hurts. People who cannot admit the pain of abortion that haunts them (because they have inflicted the pain upon themselves)…. transfer the accusation to racism (because now they can blame “others” for the pain that they feel).
Biggz,
Would you care to answer Ryan’s explanation, and tell him that he is lying about having been “disallowed” to renew the contract?
Or perhaps you would care to explain to the rest of us how it is that preferring FEWER black babies being aborted is racist against them. I do not have the wherewithal to go searching this website for your previous rantings on the topic of the “Black Genocide” school of thought (And please, drop the pseudo-academic speak).
So please, explain to me, in nice straightforward and easy terms, just how one genocides a race by asking them to reproduce.

Mike,
The contract is not public record, so RH Reality Check had no way of knowing prior to its closing that it was due to end when it did. They are simply trying to claim success in ignorance.
The analogy is the person who wishes it would stop raining who then claims credit when it does.
Biggz is suggesting that the billboards would never have come down without the protests of RH Reality Check.
