MARTIN BAKER: Black Americans are being led astray by politicized pastors

In 1939, Margaret Sanger, the founder of what is now Planned Parenthood, advocated the need for recruiting ministers to aid in speaking to congregations with the aim of increasing birth control services in black communities in the South.

While Sanger's policy worked out exceedingly well for the racists of the eugenics movement, it decimated black communities and has led to the termination of more than twenty million Black babies since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in 1973.

Sanger's push for abortion is largely responsible for black Americans no longer being the largest minority group in the country, having now been surpassed by hispanics, whose abortion rates are less than half that of black women.

Black ministers have been led down the primrose path by promises from the usual race hustlers who promise increased influence and larger congregations, if they preach certain ideological political beliefs, generally liberal, to their parishioners.

Ironically, after now-President Lyndon Johnson initiated his War on Poverty, one of the first communities to embrace its so-called "Possibilities" and introduce it to their peers and congregants was the black ministerial community.

At the behest of the ministers, families were torn asunder, and the black community, which for generations had been the model of self-sufficiency and provident living, became the testbed for the endless cycle of government subsidies.

At what point will ministers realize that their words and sermons do matter? In a recent conversation with a minister who officiated the funeral of a relative, I asked why black congregations have so easily been taken advantage of by the words of politicos who abandon the black community after election time.
