From a Christian Newswire press release, which was emailed to Booker Rising: "February 1, 2013
will mark the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization's
44th Image Awards Show to honor cultural and entertainment luminaries
presenting the best face of black Americans. However, this year a
number of black groups, churches and community activists along with the
National Black Prolife Coalition (NBPLC) will be protesting the event
due to the failure of the civil rights organization to represent the
best interests of the community."
The press release continues: "'The NAACP is out of
touch with the black community,' said Rev. Edward Pinkney, President of
Black Autonomy Network Community Organization (BANCO), '....and supports
population control as set forth by Planned Parenthood which has targeted black people.'"
More: "Dr. Johnny Hunter, National Director of Life Education And Resource
Network (LEARN), says, 'Racist elitists no longer need the Ku Klux Klan
to control blacks; they have Planned Parenthood. And Planned Parenthood
has the NAACP on a leash.' The founder of the northeast division of
LEARN, Pastor Clenard Childress states, 'The NAACP must quit endorsing
destructive and unfruitful behavior.'"
They ain't done yet: "'The
NAACP's departure from the wisdom and life affirming principles of the
Bible is very alarming, and must be stopped for the safety, security,
and future of our children,' said Dr. Alveda King, Guardian of the King
Family Legacy. 'The only word that
can define the gross negligence of the NAACP is 'betrayal.' They have
abandoned our community's morality, our economic and educational needs
for thirty pieces of silver,' said Pastor Stephen E. Broden of Dallas,
Texas. 'They are drunk with the wine of the world and the power elite
and their eugenic agenda against black folk.'"
