Black Sheriff Says If People Truly Believe Black Lives Matter, They Should Protest Abortion1/16/2015
“Sheriff David Clarke has been featured on a number of news outlets in recent weeks to discuss his thoughts about the incidents and the reaction that has followed. Last week, he was interviewed on CNN about a Tweet that he sent this month to a journalist with the New York Times, which read, ‘If only these faux protesters were asked by media about all the black on black killing or black babies aborted in US every year.’ Clark, who is a black man himself, was asked by host Poppy Harlow if he sent the message, and what he meant by the statement. ‘Yes, I did,’ he replied. ‘When I hear these things that black lives matter, the only people who really believe that statement are American police officers who go into American ghettos every day to keep people from killing each other. Alright, so, yes I did send that and I meant it. Look, the abortions. If black lives--if they really mattered, that’s where the outrage would be that’s where we’d see protests…’ ... According to the website blackgenocide.org, published by New Jersey pastor and LEARN (Life Education and Resource Network) president Clenard Childress, since 2001, ‘over 8 million African American children have been killed by abortion’ and that ‘the leading cause of death of African Americans is abortion.’ ‘They say that if you were to combine the top 10 leading categories of causes of death for African Americans, it wouldn’t come to half to the amount killed by abortion,’ Childress said, adding ‘52% of all African American pregnancies end in abortion.’” (“Milwaukee Sheriff,” Christian News Network, Dec. 31, 2014) Comments are closed.
