(John Bazemore / Associated Press) Antiabortion advocates are claiming that Black women are being specifically targeted for abortions in an effort to keep the Black population down—a conspiracy against the Black population. This comes after several antiabortion billboards popped up in Atlanta stirring up the race issue. The billboards feature the face of a Black baby and the words “Black children are an endangered species.” The billboards direct people to a website called toomanyaborted.com, which says for African-Americans, abortion has become a crisis. Nearly 40% of... [Read the full story]

White Female Found in 5 Days…167 Days Later Still No News in Disappearance of Black Female
Apparently, it seems that in order to get the FBI involved in a missing person’s case you need to be the following: white, female, and from a privileged background. Something that 24-year-old Mitrice Richardson isn’t. When 17-year-old Chelsea King went missing in Poway, California, after she went for a run after...
