Rosa Parks

[ernestus]

according to 'wikipedia' and other sources, rosa parks (r.i.p) was a "member of the Board of Advocates of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America".

isnt that interesting? was she just a pawn in the eugenics movement? was she advocating for the destruction of her own race?

Don't know, but if this is true, then it should'nt be too surprising, seeing how so many figures of the old civil-rights movement eventually graduated into abortion, birth-control, and the like.

It's called the "slippery slope". Once you accept the concept of artificial freedoms then you move along a spectrum and hold to an apparently cohesive philosophy that just comes short of anarchy.

 

Civilized anarchists then congratulate themselves for stopping short of that "right". It stems from John Locke and his social contract -which is simply mankind attempting to act outside the laws of God.

 

Pope Saint Pius X quite wisely pointed out that if mankind no longer follows God as his rule of conduct then he will have to be subject to constant supervision. And boy, in this age of hidden cameras, hasn't that become a standard practice!

something else worth mentioning is the historical version that is taught in the schools. some have said that rosa parks was working with the naacp to plan the bus incident ahead of time, and not just a tired poor black lady we are all made to believe. this is something that never gets mentioned. whether it's true though, is something i can only speculate on at this point.

Abolishing America, Cont’d: Black History…or Red?

By Sam Francis

Black History Month, previously known as "February," hasn't even begun yet, and already the Public Broadcasting System is treating the nation to propaganda fests about the Emmett Till case of 1954 and the anti-black "hate crime" in Jasper, Texas of 1998. Martin Luther King Day, just concluded, was merely a walk-up to what will be a month-long wallow in white guilt and anti-white hatred.

One icon of the "civil rights movement" who will be featured is Rosa Parks, the little old black lady of Montgomery, Alabama, whose quiet and heroic refusal to give up her seat and move to the back of the bus has become to civil rights mythology what George Washington and the cherry tree was to the Old America.

As it turns out, neither myth is true, but the facts in the Rosa Parks case are a good bit more sinister.

A book published in 1995, "Speak Now against the Day," by John Egerton informs us that Mrs. Parks, so far from being a simple black woman, was in fact an officer of the local NAACP.

If that suggests that she mounted a rather more artful act of civil disobedience than the legend acknowledges, it's because such is precisely the case.

Mr. Egerton shows that Mrs. Parks was in fact an alumna of an institution in Monteagle, Tennessee, known as the Highlander Folk School, usually and not inaccurately described as a "communist training school." Highlander was founded and run by a gentleman named Myles Horton, who was never actually a member of the Communist Party but told a veteran Red pal that he didn't join so he could avoid having the label pinned on him. For all practical purposes, Horton was a communist.

As Mr. Egerton writes, "Highlander had started summer workshops on school desegregation in 1954, right after the Brown decision. The Montgomery NAACP wanted to send a delegate to Highlander the next year. They chose their youth director, Rosa Parks."

Mr. Egerton's book contains a photograph of Mrs. Parks with Horton at the school in 1957, but her first training session took place only a few months before she sat down in the front of the bus in December, 1955.

Her action is widely and probably rightly regarded as the beginning of the civil rights movement in the South. Was it in fact an act of communist subversion?

In 1957 a photograph was taken of an audience at the school that showed Martin Luther King sitting in the front row. Right next to him was a comrade named Abner Berry, the correspondent of the Communist Party's official newspaper, the Daily Worker. In the 1950s King's enemies plastered it all over the South to discredit King and his movement. It did discredit them—at least in those quarters that thought hanging out with Communists was discreditable.

Today, fewer people think so, and the discovery, from opened Soviet archives, that communists really did penetrate high levels of the U.S. government and the atom bomb project, falls on ears that don't want to hear about it. But it's also clear that they penetrated—and used—the civil rights movement as well.

It's well documented that King himself was surrounded by known communists like Stanley Levison and Hunter Pitts O'Dell, the latter actually a member of the party's national committee in 1961. King's bitterly anti-American speech on the Vietnam war, praising Ho Chi Minh and comparing American soldiers to Nazi storm troopers, in 1967 was written by Levison, whose influence on King was the main reason for FBI surveillance of him.

Today, Americans have been so brainwashed by the propaganda of the left, communist or not, that they're likely to regard the Reds in the civil rights movement as the real heroes who led the fight against murderous bigots in Southern backwaters. Immersed in white guilt, a vast number of Americans now accept that the entire history of their nation up to the 1960s was a dark age of repression and hatred, with only a few bright spots like Abraham Lincoln and the crusade against Hitler.

Having lost their own history, Americans can no longer expect to keep the nation their history created and defined. That, of course, was the whole point—to strip away the real past as well as the legends that allow Americans to exist as a people and to put in their place new myths—and a new population—that will give birth to a new order that Myles Horton and his comrades would have liked. It's an amazing story, about how an entire people was bamboozled out of its own heritage and its own country. Some day, when we have a good conservative administration in Washington, the Public Broadcasting System ought to make a film about it.

(I actually share MLK's views on the Vietnam War, but some of his rhetoric was over the top, and otherwise I think Dr. Francis is on target.)

[Archbishop_10K]

It'd be no surprise to me if the article RoyalCello posted was true. Few stories are as rosy as taught in elementary school (pardon the pun).

 

That being said, I'd like to see more arguments and counter-arguments before I tell other people that certain African civil rights activists were Communists or Communist-associated. I'd also like to add that even if Rosa Parks and Dr. MLK, Jr. aren't the canonized saints that people make them out to be, it shouldn't discredit certain tenets of the civil rights movement itself; i.e. it doesn't mean we should make blacks sit in the back of the bus again.

[Marybonita]

  it doesn't mean we should make blacks sit in the back of the bus again.

 

I'm not sure that Catholic principles and morality brought about this law. One of the subjects which almost seems taboo is examining the fruits of a protestant culture. A strong argument can be made that racism rose from the ashes of the protestant revolt of the 16th century. Certainly Anglican ascendency was a fruit of that poor country's break with Rome into schism and then heresy.

 

An expert on demonology suggested that witchcraft follows on the heels of protestantism and used the rise of witch burnings in Presbyterian Scotland in the 17th century as an example.

 

The plantation owners pre civil-war were protestant in the main. The attitude to African-Americans would be a residue of that era and that attitude.

 

I like information such as the above article brings. There is not one crisis it seems in our present society which doesn't have a controlling hand hidden behind it. We are such fools and such easy targets.

 

This is brought home to me by the parade of relatives who pass through my house with their material success worn like a trophy - the car, the trip, the 2.5 children, the comfortable home.  They "believe" in all the freedoms, in the black record of the Catholic church, in change, in keeping-up, in TV personalities. They have unbounded enthusiasm for things modern and trust the government. There are no conspiracies and there is no objective truth.

 

They like to write letters to the editor on the many issues which touch our lives thinking they are making a difference and eager to "count". Other people mention those letters to me as if I am somehow falling short by not being more involved myself. It's no use mentioning my letters - which I did write at one time being more naive than I am now - never got published.

 

They have itching ears and itching feet and itching palms and probably itching consciences but I know I can't judge and should really delete this rant but....Help!

I heard for years that MLK Jr. was a communist...don't know how true it  is though.  This was long before the advent of the internet.

"Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others."
— Rosa Parks, PPFA Board of Advocates member, who was dubbed the "mother of the civil rights movement" for refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery, AL, bus to a white man. This single act of defiance launched a movement that ended legal segregation in the United States and made her an inspiration to freedom-loving people everywhere. Parks died yesterday evening. She

Rosa Parks and Planned Parenthood
Rosa Parks died today at the age of 92. I wish she would have become an advocate for the unborn, but instead she was a Planned Parenthood Board of Advocates member. (Click here to read Planned Parenthood's praise of her service.)

If she had read the history of PP, formerly known as the “American Birth Control League”, I doubt she would have supported the same organization whose founder, Margaret Sanger, was a proponent of racially motivated eugenics.

"Sanger: We Must Limit the Over-Fertility of Mentally, Physically Defective"

In her book, "The Pivot of Civilization", Sanger wrote, "Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying ... demonstrates our foolhardy and extravagant sentimentalism."

Julianne Malveaux from Women's News explains, "This book, written in 1922, was published at a time when scientific racism had been used to assert black inferiority. Who determines who is a moron? How would these morons be segregated? The ramifications of such statements are bone-chilling."

Let's look at two more Sanger quotes (there are a few more you might want to read later):

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal.
We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

-- Margaret Sanger's December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255Adams Street, Milton, Massachusetts. Original source: Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, North Hampton, Massachusetts. Also described in Linda Gordon's Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America . New York: Grossman Publishers, 1976.
"Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying ... demonstrates our foolhardy and extravagant sentimentalism ... [Philanthropists] encourage the healthier and more normal sections of the world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and indiscriminate fecundity of others; which brings with it, as I think the reader must agree, a dead weight of human waste. Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant ... We are paying for, and even submitting to, the dictates of an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all."
-- Margaret Sanger. The Pivot of Civilization , 1922. Chapter on "The Cruelty of Charity," pages 116, 122, and 189. Swarthmore College Library edition.
How many people go to their graves never knowing the truth about the roots of Planned Parenthood and abortion in America?

Rosa Parks was bold, decisive and outspoken. If she had joined pro-life efforts we might not have abortion today.

This article indicates that "Black women, who comprise less than 16 percent of the female population in Michigan, obtained more than 38 percent of all abortions."

Rev Rev. Johnny Hunter says:

"[Abortion has] killed more blacks than the Ku Klux Klan ever lynched," Rev. Hunter is the national director of Life, Education and Resource Network (LEARN) in Virginia Beach.
Black women are three times more likely to abort than white women and twice as likely to have abortions than Hispanic women, according to data from the Alan Guttmacher Institute.
Rest in peace Rosa Parks. You were a brave woman during a difficult time in America. I pray that many brave women in America stand up against abortion now.
