Obama supports racism?

Barack Obama””racist or baby killer? I say none of the above, but allow me to add imprudent; imprudent to the full extent of the word.

Obama and his followers supported racism and abortions when the House passed the new health care reform legislation on Sunday, March 21, 2010, which was later signed into law by Obama on Tuesday, March 23, 2010. But, I will not speak so much on abortion as I will on the fact that they supported racism.

Not one Republican supported the bill, including Californian congressmen Devin Nunes and George Radanovich, yet Republicans are the ones that are looked upon as racists.

I hope that Obama realized what he was doing when he signed this new health care reform legislation into law, because I honestly believe he did not realize the big mistake he was committing. And if he did, which would be pretty racist of him, I say shame on him, shame on his administration and shame on all of his supporters.

It is simple to suggest that this new health care reform legislation will not straightforwardly finance abortions due to the fact that there are an extreme amount of forms to ultimately finance abortion.

On the other hand, Obama’s bill will reserve more than $11 billion to financially support community health care clinics not excluding Planned Parenthood clinics, which by the way support abortions and racism.

Planned Parenthood is a strong and influential agency throughout many communities. It is an agency that consistently receives positive and complimentary exposure in the news media and each year it supported with large amounts of money from taxes, community charities and supporters like Obama.

But what exactly do we know about Planned Parenthood’s history? Nothing, yet it is supported throughout many communities and the government, and it is not a coincidence that mostly all Planned Parenthood clinics are located in communities where the residents are either low-income families, working-class individuals or minorities. The history of Planned Parenthood is silenced, and this silence has a reason.

Planned Parenthood was established from the “fears” of America’s wealthy, the so called “sophisticated privileged.” In order to have more time for leisure activities, the wealthy stopped having children. As a result they considered the high birth rates of the “poor,” including low-income families, working-class individuals and minorities, an extreme threat to the future of America.

Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, is credited in part for inspiring Adolf Hitler in his views of eugenics. It is also known that she advocated abortions on African-Americans in order to eradicate what she referred to as “socially undesirable people.”

Planned Parenthood was created to eliminate low-income families, working-class individuals and minorities, in Sanger’s words, “the poor and undesirable.” Planned Parenthood is by far the leading abortion provider in the United States. 80 percent of Planned Parenthood clinics are in minority communities. African-Americans make up 15 percent of the population, but sadly 35 percent of the abortions throughout the United States, according to Ministries of Monroe.

I wonder, “Did Obama know this already?” If he cared so much about the American people then he would have considered all beneficiaries of his new health care reform legislation. Obviously, he only looked out for himself, because by signing this new health care reform legislation he supported racism, the killing of minorities and ignorance.

To finalize such a repulsive issue, I want to say that Planned Parenthood was created by a racist to kill off minorities, especially African-Americans, and in return it was supported, albeit indirectly, by none other than our first African-American president, the one and only Barack Obama. Obama did not directly support racism, but indeed he did. His ignorance blindsided him. His bill supported an agency which was created out of racism. What’s done is done, now let’s move on. We are all human and we all make mistakes, except Obama’s will affect millions.

    This article is a joke. Flawed assumptions and irresponsible creation of relationships between two objects that are hardly related.

    It's clear that this is an anti-abortion article, a conservative article, and an article that doesn't review full facts. I won't argue with the fact that the founder of planned parenthood was racist, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the organization is. If we assumed that any organization formed by racists is still racist perhaps more than half of the businesses in the US could be considered racist. Going along with the fact that, yes, there is a significantly higher chance of finding a planned parenthood in areas of less fortunate and of minorities, but that's due to the significantly higher birthrates. Not so much overall, but particularly among teens who, I'm sure no one can argue, often aren't equipped to handle a child. If anyone would be believe that isn't so, then by all means support your position that teens are old enough, mature enough, responsible enough, and have the time to take care of a child. Often it is so that when a child is then born into these neighborhoods, where the mother often (not all the time) has little time or care for the child, the child is likely to grow up around gangs that will happily take in and be an influence for that child. The lack of care of these parents and the influence entailed then will most often lead to a repeat of this cycle. Could you honestly wish that upon any child?
    Ideally there would be a planned parenthood in every neighborhood, but it is perhaps more important to put one in the neighborhoods where they can't as easily afford birth control, and likely, aren't receiving much of a message of abstinence.
