De-Tweeted

The National Black Pro-Life Coalition has had its Twitter account shut down.  Why?  They announced their intent to protest the NAACP.


Spokesman Steven Broden said it’s a form of censorship:
“It negates our ability to communicate with our audience or to the general public about our positions,” he told Fox News.
Broden said social networking is especially important to black conservative groups because he said they typically get ignored by the national media.
“We are ignored not only by liberal media – but I’d say conservative media ignores us as well,” he said. “Our point of view, particularly as it relates to what’s going on in the black community is not being heard.”
They accuse the NAACP of failing to represent the best interests of the black community – especially their ties to Planned Parenthood – which the pastor accused of “targeting the black community” by trying to control the population through abortion.
“They have failed to protect the black family,” Broden said.
Broden said it’s time for conservative media to start covering the stories of conservative blacks.
“Until we get the kind of coverage and our voice is heard, we will always be seen by the media as a monolith,” he said. “And we are not a monolith. There are a number of us out there who have an alternative point of view.”

Abortion is the number one killer of African Americans, outstripping HIV, homicides, cancer, kidney disease, and heart attacks COMBINED.  Yes, abortion is profoundly racist.

The group has an informative website here.

  1. Twitter and Facebook, both shutting down conservative sources. Perhaps we need to re-think our choices of social media, eh?

    1. Yes. I need to shut my Facebook account down, though I don't tweet.
