Readers! A November fund-raising drive!

 

It is unfortunately time for another November fund-raising campaign to support my work here at Behind the Black. I really dislike doing these, but 2025 is so far turning out to be a very poor year for donations and subscriptions, the worst since 2020. I very much need your support for this webpage to survive.

 

And I think I provide real value. Fifteen years ago I said SLS was garbage and should be cancelled. Almost a decade ago I said Orion was a lie and a bad idea. As early as 1998, long before almost anyone else, I predicted in my first book, Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, that private enterprise and freedom would conquer the solar system, not government. Very early in the COVID panic and continuing throughout I noted that every policy put forth by the government (masks, social distancing, lockdowns, jab mandates) was wrong, misguided, and did more harm than good. In planetary science, while everyone else in the media still thinks Mars has no water, I have been reporting the real results from the orbiters now for more than five years, that Mars is in fact a planet largely covered with ice.

 

I could continue with numerous other examples. If you want to know what others will discover a decade hence, read what I write here at Behind the Black. And if you read my most recent book, Conscious Choice, you will find out what is going to happen in space in the next century.

 

 

This last claim might sound like hubris on my part, but I base it on my overall track record.

 

So please consider donating or subscribing to Behind the Black, either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. I could really use the support at this time. There are five 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. Takes about a 10% cut.
 

3. A Paypal Donation or subscription, which takes about a 15% cut:

 

4. Donate by check. I get whatever you donate. Make the check payable to Robert Zimmerman and mail it to

You can also support me by buying one of my books, as noted in the boxes interspersed throughout the webpage or shown in the menu above.


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 or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. 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

    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.
