Free State of Jones

“But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.”

( 1 John 2:11)

Just finished a great movie “Free State of Jones”. Here is the description of the movie from, “Google”,

“In 1863, Mississippi farmer Newt Knight serves as a medic for the Confederate Army. Opposed to slavery, Knight would rather help the wounded than fight the Union. After his nephew dies in battle, Newt returns home to Jones County to safeguard his family but is soon branded an outlaw deserter. Forced to flee, he finds refuge with a group of runaway slaves hiding out in the swamps. Forging an alliance with the slaves and other farmers, Knight leads a rebellion that would forever change history.”

In the movie an awesome quote was given from the main character Newt Knight, 

When he asks his African American friend,  Moses, “What are you?”, to which Moses replies, “A free man, captain”

Newt asks, “Why’s that?” Moses replies a second time, “Because you cannot own a child of God”

Then Newt says,

“You can own a horse, you can own a mule, cow, or ox, but you cannot own a child of God."

No doubt, you cannot own a Child of God. But in those days there were men who did. An awful time, a horrific time in American history, a sickening thing. Praise God for those that stood to put an end to it. Black men and women, white men and women, who laid down their lives for the lives of those who as some in the world at that time called them, “not human”. And they won their freedom. 

In our nation today there is still racism. There is still inequality and still people calling others not human. Still as sickening and horrific as in the past. But it has a new face. It actually celebrated it’s 100th birth day a few days ago. 

Many people do not know the name Margaret Sanger,  her part or her motives  for abortion.  Margaret Sanger the founder of Planned Parenthood. An organization hiding behind the cloak of “women's reproductive rights” but who's main business is that of abortion and we now know, the selling of baby body parts. An organization that has placed 79% of it’s  “clinics” in minority neighborhoods. 

Minority women constitute only about 13% of the female population (age 15-44) in the United States, but they underwent approximately 36% of the abortions.

According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, black women are more than 5 times as likely as white women to have an abortion

On average, 1,876 black babies are aborted every day in the United States. There seems to be an attack on the black population in our nation, in the form of abortion. When you look at the mindset of Margaret Sanger the founder of PP, it makes it easy to connect the dots. 

 In one quote from Sanger, when She is using the black ministers to help push her abortion agenda she states, 

"We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population”

Margaret Sanger, was as racist  as they come. She spoke at a gathering of the female branch of the KKK, (You can find the video at the bottom from her autobiography)

Her quote was, 

“Always to me any aroused group was a good group, and therefore I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan at Silver Lake, New Jersey.”

She was well accepted by the crowd, so much so that she received many other appealing engagements from the group and spoke at them. 

Planned Parenthood was started by a racist, bigot who looked at black people as less than human. Yet the Democratic Party wants to continue funding PP with millions every year. And the odd thing is, that the majority of the Black population, vote Democratic. 

Will we continue to stand by and watch millions more innocent lives be taken by abortion? Children of all nationalities are at risk. Millions of human beings are described as “not human” or “Unwanted”. Praise God that there were men and women during slavery that stood to make it illegal. Will we be seen in history books as those who quietly stood by while millions were slaughtered, or will we be seen as brave and bold men and women, who God used to put bring an end to the American holocaust? 

This is a fight that we of all colors need to come together on and say no more.
