Pro-life vid of day: On 25th anniversary of Civil Rights Act a reminder we are “one blood”
by Kelli
On July 2, 1964, the Civil Rights Act was passed, which “forbade discrimination on the basis of sex as well as race in hiring, promoting, and firing.”
From The Radiance Foundation comes this powerful video to remind us that we are of “one blood” and that every human life deserves the recognition of their civil rights, including the preborn:
A lot has changed in 50 years. Some things for the better. But the evil of racism will never be overcome until we stop dividing ourselves. The words of Martin Luther King never fail to stir the soul. His speech, “Where Do We Go From Here” delivered in 1967 to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) contained words rarely quoted. On this anniversary of the 50th year of the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 may we remember to walk hand in hand, as one human race. Celebrate civil rights for EVERY human life.

So…
Let’s start with the phrase “African-American”.
Unless you were born in Africa, you’re NOT “African”.
If you were born in America -or became a citizen –
You’re an AMERICAN – period.
Same as the rest of us. This also goes for any other Ethnic group. You are not a ‘Fill-in-the-blank -American’…you’re an AMERICAN.
These “Politically Correct” classifications do nothing but DIVIDE us. We’re ALL “Americans”.
Awesome video as usual from the Radiance Foundation. God bless you for being prolife soldiers and staying in this fight.
Pamela don’t you think you are being little nit-picky here? It’s about the video promo using Dr. M.L. King’s own words to promote the prolife message.
You all caught JillStanek.com among the pro-life sponsoring organizations on the final scene, right?
“You all caught JillStanek.com among the pro-life sponsoring organizations on the final scene, right?”
Well, the important thing is that we know now.
“Nit -picky” ?
No. I just wanted to make a point.
I’m not referring to the video- specifically –
I’m referring to the use of the phrase -in general.
I just noticed that the title of the post says 25th anniversary, but it actually should be 50th anniversary.
OK Pamela I sort of get it. I think Radiance Foundation, which is co-founded by Ryan Bomberger (who is bi-racial btw), is trying to promote prolife awareness and activism in the black community by using the words of Dr. King. I think that was the main point. Sometimes it does get a little tiring to see so much emphasis on race in America but this video I don’t think was meant in that way but to try to encourage AAs to understand that prolife issues are important to them. The disparity of how many black babies are aborted (about 35%) compared to their percentage of the U.S population (12%) is ridiculous. If you have never seen the Radiance Foundation’s website go to http://www.toomanyaborted.com to see their promos about too many black babies being aborted. Yes, I know that 1 baby being aborted is too many but when so many are disproportionately black it is pathetic. Margaret Sanger’s eugenic dreams have indeed come true “more of the fit, less of the unfit”. How very sad.
