In 1865, the Civil War ended and the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution officially abolished slavery. That same year, a group of Democrat ex-Confederate soldiers formed the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). They were domestic terrorists that sought to overthrow the Republican state governments in the South during the Reconstruction Era by using violence and intimidation against freed former slaves and their white supporters. They prevented African-Americans from voting, getting an education, competing for jobs, or owning property.
A year later, the Civil Rights Act conferred citizenship and equal rights, guaranteed due process and equal protection under the law for all citizens.
From 1870 to 1895, many blacks, as members of the Republican Party, gained elective office throughout the nation, but outbreaks of violence against blacks especially in the South persisted.
By 1915, four million blacks had traveled north in what is called the Great Migration. They sought better jobs and wanted to escape escalated racism and violence occurring in the South. Americas northern cities overflowed with freed slaves and their extended families.
Former farmers and field workers became bell hops, butlers, maids, doormen, cooks, and nanniesthey shined shoes and cleaned toilets. By 1920, African American writers, poets and artists emerged in a period of creativity known as the Harlem Renaissance. Black people worked hardstarting businesses, buying homes, securing better education and began to realize the American Dream came not only in whitebut in beautiful shades of black as well.
Meanwhile, the KKK raged a lynching war on blacks in the south while Margaret Sanger and friends devised an evil plan of their own. Sanger was a staunch believer in eugenics, race hygiene. Her book, The Pivot of Civilization, {1922} contained her solution to the negro problem. She touted sterilization of genetically inferior races which she called human weeds.
Since blacks were known to be blessed with large families, Sangers plan had to include limiting the growth of the black population by eliminating our children.
Sanger associated with known racists who shared her belief that America would be a better place without black people. She emerged a speaker at a KKK rally in Silver Lake, New Jersey, in 1926.
In 1939, Sanger initiated the NEGRO PROJECT, a simple planget rid of black people through abortion and sterilization. She knew that some blacks would figure out her sinister plot, so she decided to pay clergy and charismatic members in the black community to deliver the deceptive message to their congregations and neighborhoods.

In a letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, Sanger wrote: We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the negroes is through religious appeal. We dont want word to go out that we want to exterminate the negro population. The minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.
Sanger did her homework! She knew we were a culturally religious body of people and she knew that for blacks, at that time, the church was our meeting place our town hall. The bottom line is that she used black people to destroy black communities in the same way Satan used Judas to deliver JESUS.
Today, black ministers, politicians, and community organizers are still hired to support Margaret Sangers form of ethnic cleansing. With full knowledge of how abortion is decimating the black community, they, like Judas, have sold their souls for 30 pieces of silver.
Margaret Sanger was the founder of Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in America. Its a billion dollar-a-year abortion business that thrives on blood money for slaughtering children, especially black children. Abortion mills continue to set up camp in minority neighborhoods delivering Margaret Sangers big lie message. The lie that says if you are a poor, black woman or girl you will have a better life a more successful life with fewer children. The lie insinuates that killing an unborn baby is no big deal, especially a black baby which tends to be viewed as a burden on society and therefore less worthy of life.
Until Margaret Sangers death in 1966 she pushed the ideals she started decades earlier. It makes one wonder why almost nothing has changed in urban areas largely populated by poor blacks and other minorities. Our inner cities have poor schools, high crime, high unemployment and broken families yet, their elected officials stay focused on funding abortion on demand. Margaret Sangers Planned Parenthood still does big business slaughtering black babies in inner city abortion mills. For instance, in New York City, the abortion rate in the black community is at 60%, which means more black babies are aborted than are born.
The KKK brutally killed about 3,500 black people since it began in 1865, Sangers Planned Parenthood is responsible for 19 million black deaths since 1973.
The Bible tells us every child is a God-given gift, a reward and a heritage, therefore all are worthy of life. The truth is ALL lives matter!
We must remember why the killing beganand then vow in JESUS name to end it.

Just returning an elbow.
After you had been posting a number of my old posts today, I decided to look back at some of yours.
You seem like a real good guy who holds about the same opinions on things here as I do. So I really see no good reason to be at each other.
Anyhow among many of your posts I noticed this one on an earlier "Gillette" thread.
You wrote: "I still recall Nino Benvenuti and Don Fullmer putting on quite the show."

Along those lines I still can remember watching on tv // March 24, 1962 -- Madison Square Garden in New York.
That night, then-world welterweight champion Cuban national Benny Kid Paret lost his title to Emile Griffith by KO at 2.09 minutes of the 12th round in the third matchup between the two boxers.
Benny got tangled up in the ropes in the corner ...... the ref was very slow to intervene, and the results were very, very terrible.
****
Have a good night. Again ...... from reading some of your past comments I know that we agree on a great deal.
Have a good night ....... I'm going to go watch that 4th quarter and overtime of the K.C. -- New England game again.
What a bizarre ending to that game.
How many people have blacks killed?
I have great memories of boxing and I recall Griffith v Benny Kid Paret. He called Griffith a maricón and that was all she wrote. I saw a lot of fights in the Garden among them Jerry Quarry v Buster Mathis and Ali v Zora Foley.
Speaking of Pittsburgh, as a Mets fan thanks for Donn Clendenon. He put us over the top in '68!!
Enjoy the game. I like the Bradys big against the Rams.
You're welcome.
From the mid-50's through most of the 60's I often sat about 12 rows back behind the Pirates dugout on the first base line at old Forbes Field. The on deck circle was not very far away from us. Some nights late into the game if Clendenon was striking out a little too much and was in a slump, my brother and I used to boo him 'just a little'. He was a very big man ..... crouched on one knee and leaning on about three Louisville sluggers he would just slowly turn his head and glare at us ..... scared the crap out of me. lol
****
"When we got him, Donn Clendenon, we became a different team. We never had a three-run homer type of guy. He was always humble, never cocky. We were still young kids in that era. He was a veteran that came in and made us better. When you threw him into the mix with the rest of us, we became a dangerous force. We knew we had a good team (1969 New York Mets ) with him, but we didn't know quite how good. Gil Hodges thought we were better than we were. He was the MVP a very dangerous player." - New York Mets Shortstop Bud Harrelson

Me too.
(jmo) Belichick is a genius and he had the Patriots playing very well Sunday. And Brady is Brady. If all goes about as it should and the refs stay out of it, I think L.A. should lose by about two touchdowns. (But both of us have been around long enough to know about sports' unpredictability. -- For instance, remember the 1960 Pirates -- Yankees World Series. LOL .... that Series was great. We luckily snared a couple of tickets to game 2. The Pirates got smeared, 16-3.
***************
By the way, I guess you remember pitcher Jon Matlack. He came and worked out with our university baseball team back in '68. (I never found out why he came there that year but there he was.) He threw some smoke from that long left arm of his.
I was a left-handed hitter so I wasn't hurrying into the batting cage too often to get my cuts against Jon. He was a very nice guy but very intimidating on the mound.
Thanks for the memories! Were in the same ballpark, age wise, so our memories coincide. The first game I recall was at Ebbitts field, the Dodgers v Chicago cubs (56?). Earnie Banks was their shortstop and I recall my brother telling me to watch him carefully. Glad I did!
NYC was a baseball mecca then; Willie Mays up at the Polo grounds, Mantle & Maris at Yankee Stadium. Then came the Mets, who as a Dodger fan immediately became my team. I forget when Ralph Kiner became involved w the broadcasts, but he was a hoot! The game was worth watching if for nothing else than his gaffs; Gary Carter was Gary Cooper, and of course, “It’s Father’s Day today at Shea, so to all you fathers out there, Happy Birthday.” Great stuff, some of which actually put Yogis malapropos to shame :)
yep, I remember Matlock. IIRC, he couldnt find the strike zone consistently buy yes, he threw heat. Seaver was my favorite. A complete pitcher who actually threw complete games!
Im glad I got to see NYC at its height. Its now an open toilet and someplace I visit only out of necessity.
PS; Bill Mazeroski broke my heart in 1960!!
______
LOL
Maz ... that October 13th was responsible for my Mom and Dad allowing my brother and me to drink a couple of beers to celebrate. (This beer thing seems to have been a hard habit to stop.)
;-)
**********
Here is a Buddy of yours ....
PS -- I want you to know that the Mets drove me crazy in those years of the mid and late 60's and the early 70's. It seemed you were always destroying our seasons in September. (And yes, I liked Seaver a lot too. He was an engineer out there on the mound as his knee area actually touched the mound during his follow through. Great mechanics -- Mr. Seaver.)
************
Seaver's knee. His mechanics were the model I tough to my son when he played. They were as good as I've ever seen. I recall when he broke the $100,000 per year barrier. I can only guess what he'd be worth today.
The only beer I can drink today is something on tap. with the days of Bert & Harry Piels long gone I've switched to a decent scotch :)

Speaking of salaries.....
"In 1951, Ralph Kiner was rewarded financially for his home run power and became the highest paid player in Major League baseball. And a few years later with the Pirates, he asked for a raise .. and Mr. Ricky said, no .... we can come in last place without him.
Ralph . who had supposed romances, dates with leading ladies, such as Elizabeth Taylor, Ava Gardner and Janet Leigh was one funny guy.
Some examples:
If Casey Stengel were alive today, he'd be spinning in his grave.
You know what they say about Chicago. If you don't like the weather, wait fifteen minutes.
All of his saves have come in relief appearances.
"The Mets have gotten their leadoff batter on only once this inning."
Now up to bat for the Mets is Gary Cooper."
"There's a lot of heredity in that family."
"Two-thirds of the Earth is covered by water. The other third is covered by Garry Maddox."

"Ralph McPherran Kiner, very simply, made post-World War II baseball matter in Pittsburgh. Very little else mattered about those 1946-1952 Pirates, who regularly lost 90-plus games of a 154-game schedule and finished 30-plus games behind in the National League more than once during that span. But whenever the 6-foot-2, 195-pound Kiner approached home plate twirling a couple of bats overhead, Forbes Field came alive. Regardless of the score -- and, most days, it was lopsided -- fans would refuse to leave until Kiner's last at-bat. And when Kiner had taken his last swing, the place would empty." - by Tom Singer
