Star Parker, CURE Exploit Gosnell Case to Promote Debunked ‘Black Genocide’ Narrative
On Tuesday, Star Parker is hosting a Gosnell pearl clutchathon, during which she will promote virulent, racist, and untrue facts about abortion in the Black community, with the help of far-right white conservatives like John Ashcroft and Ed Meese.
President Obama, you see, doesn’t care about Black women or the plight of Black urban America. Star Parker and her “urban renewal” organization, on the other hand, do. Or so they would have you believe. A review of CURE’s advisory board roster, however, tells a different story.
John Ashcroft—yes, that John Ashcroft—is on CURE’s advisory board. John Ashcroft is well-known for being the songbird attorney general during the Bush administration who taught Americans how to properly fear Muslims. Before that, however, Ashcroft served as attorney general for the state of Missouri, where he bravely fought tooth and nail to keep St. Louis and Kansas City schools segregated. So bravely did he fight against school desegregation, that the official supervising the racial integration plan called him “obstructionist.” In addition, Harvard professor Gary Orfield said that Ashcroft “had no positive vision and constantly stirred up racial divisions” over the issue, ultimately calling Ashcroft “an unrelenting opponent of doing anything in St. Louis.” A man who opposes “doing anything” in underserved communities is just the sort of guy we need to help poverty-stricken urban areas, wouldn’t you agree?
In 2011, Rep. Gwen Moore breaks down the reality of having black babies, and the falsity of the “black genocide” lie.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in the case Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl. While arguments touched on a number of topics, they centered on an issue crucial to all of us â how a parent is defined under the law.
While the most important things a child needs are love and stability, ideally children would have the opportunity to be raised by those who share their heritage and can teach them the culture and traditions of that heritage. Moreover, it is important for the law to presume that members of historically marginalized communities are legitimate and fit parents unless proven otherwise in order to correct for the bias that so often still exists to the contrary.

According to Pastor Morecraft, the consequences of being a “foolish person who is unwilling to live by the Word of God” is to “become a slave of somebody who is godly and who is wise.”
Pastor Joe Morecraft’s theocratic vision of building a Christian nation is one more reason why freedom-loving Americans must vigilantly guard our cherished Separation of Church and State.

The National Mortgage Settlement: Failing Women and Communities of Color?
The $25 billion National Mortgage Settlement at first seemed like a blessing for families decimated by the foreclosure crisis. But according to housing counseling organizations and community activists, the program is not providing relief to the communities of color that were hardest hit by the foreclosure crisis and the predatory lending practices that were the primary cause of that crisis.
Bowdler also expressed concern that the “banks seem to be taking a lottery approach.” “Some people are getting huge principal reduction, and huge balances wiped down the slate, but for every one of them, there are hundreds of family who don’t get it,” she said. In practice, the settlement has set up a system of winners and losers. “Some people are big winners,” she said, “and the vast majority of people don’t get anything.”
