Readers!

 

The time has come for my annual short pre-Thanksgiving/Christmas fund drive for Behind The Black. I must do this every year in order to make sure I have earned enough money to pay my bills.

 

For this two-week campaign, I am offering a special deal to encourage donations. Donations of $200 will get a free autographed copy of the new paperback edition of Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, while donations of $250 will get a free autographed copy of the new hardback edition. If you desire a copy, make sure you provide me your address with your donation.

 

As I noted in July, the support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.

 

In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

 

Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

 

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:

 

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

 

2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
 

3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:

 

4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

California creates segregated system that favors rescuing black children over whites

The Democratic Party's long held support of racial hate
Segregation: The Democratic Party’s long held #1 goal,
then and now.

“Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!” In a clear tribute to its long history of racism and bigotry, the Democratic Party that now controls California’s government from top to bottom has created a segregated system for rescuing missing children that favors blacks over everyone else.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 673 into law on Sunday, making California the first state to create an alert notification system — similar to an Amber Alert — to address the crisis of missing Black children and young women.

The law, which will go into effect on Jan. 1, will allow the California Highway Patrol to activate the alert upon request from local law enforcement when a Black youth goes missing in the area. The Ebony Alert will utilize electronic highway signs and encourage use of radio, TV, social media and other systems to spread information about the missing persons’ alert. The Ebony Alert will be used for missing Black people aged 12 to 25.

“Data shows that Black and brown, our indigenous brothers and sisters, when they go missing there’s very rarely the type of media attention, let alone AMBER alerts and police resources that we see with our white counterparts,” state Sen. Steven Bradford, also a Democrat and creator of the legislation, told NBC News earlier this year.

Bradford is of course disingenious in his claims. The reason that missing black children don’t get the same coverage is not because of bigory but because they go missing so often it isn’t news. As the article notes, over 141,000 black kids under the age of 18 went missing in 2022 alone, almost all because of the utter collapse of the black family. The stats here don’t indicate a bigotry by whites against blacks, but a failure of blacks to care for their kids properly.

Meanwhile, the disappearance of a white child is news because it happens so rarely in comparison. Though the family structure has also been collapsing among whites, the process is not so far along, and there has been real effort to fix the problem.

Thus, Bradford’s legislation has one purpose and one purpose only: to give favored treatment to “our indigenous brothers and sisters.” It doesn’t address the fundamental problems within his black community, and in the end it will accomplish only one thing, creating more anger and resentment between the races.

If Bradford wanted to create a race war his legislation is a great way to instigate it. But then, he is a member of the Democratic Party, which carries a long tradition of formenting race hatred, lynchings, segregation, and racial discord. He is simply continuing that tradition. Rather than dress up in a KKK white suit to oppress blacks, he wears the suit and tie of a legislator, and passes Jim Crow laws that instead put whites in the back of the bus.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 

The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    Robert wrote: “Rather than dress up in a KKK white suit to oppress blacks, he wears the suit and tie of a legislator, and passes Jim Crow laws that instead put whites in the back of the bus.

    Maybe, but it may end up putting blacks in the back of the bus. With the Ebony Alert, now the racists know which children they should look out for — only the Amber alerts. If they remained Amber Alerts, then everyone would be on the lookout.

    Or it could merely show how many black children go missing. Imagine getting 141,000 Ebony alerts on your phone each year. That is almost 400 a day, 16 an hour, or one every four minutes. If they are more county specific then it would be fewer per hour, but it would still be a lot every day in the heavily populated areas.

    Or maybe it makes us ignore any and every alert on our phones, or better yet: give us reason to keep our phones turned off most of the time.

    But most likely, the same missing youngsters who don’t get an Amber Alert will not get an Ebony Alert, either.

    “Data shows that Black and brown, our indigenous brothers and sisters, when they go missing there’s very rarely the type of media attention, let alone AMBER alerts and police resources that we see with our white counterparts,” state Sen. Steven Bradford, also a Democrat and creator of the legislation, told NBC News earlier this year.

    The problem is not that there isn’t a special alert for certain people, it is that the current system is not used for those certain people often enough to please Bradford. Making another system does not assure that it will be used any more than the current system is used. It only complicates things. An alert cannot go out until the color of the missing child’s skin is assessed, and at what shade does an Amber Alert turn Ebony? The solution is to have the current system used enough for Bradford’s satisfaction. Bradford is going down the road of good intentions, dragging along everyone else in the well known direction.

    Once again, the Democratic Party is focusing on skin color, as though that is the most important attribute a person possesses. This makes the Democrats the racists, who may be the ones who could ignore the Ebony Alerts and favor the Amber Alerts.
