So you thought the architects of America's pro-choice movement were fighting for a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy in a safe, medical environment? Oh, you gullible sheep. The real goal behind legal abortion, obviously, was to kill black babies.
That's what presenters from Move-On-Up.org hope you'll glean from tonight's presentation of Maafa 21: Black Genocide in 21st Century America, which is showing at 7 p.m. at UMKC.
Move-On-Up.org is an organization of conservative African-Americans. Its co-founder, Chris Arps, is known around St. Louis for a terribly executed tea party publicity stunt in 2009.
Back when the health-care debate had the nation's news cycle in a headlock, Arps and Move-On-Up.org rallied behind a St. Louis man, Kenneth Gladney, who claimed to have been beaten up by union thugs outside a health-care forum. Arps accused the NAACP of failing to investigate Gladney's claims because of Gladney's conservative views. The head of the NAACP in St. Louis showed up at Arps' press conference on the matter, and responded that the organization would have been happy to look into Gladney's claims, had Gladney -- or Arps, or anyone, really -- bothered to contact them. (Ironically, Gladney was begging for help paying his post-beat-down medical bills because he didn't have health insurance. D'oh!)
Prior to that less-than-impressive showing, Arps was known for signing on with California millionaire Ward Connerly to outlaw Missouri's affirmative-action regulations, an effort that didn't get far.
So now Arps is riding the anti-abortion pony to Kansas City in the hopes of gaining traction for the black conservative movement. But Arps, it seems, has a criminal conviction for failing to support his own, living progeny: by not paying child support. His supervised probation period appears to have ended just last month, according to CaseNet.
Oh, also? Move-On-Up.org's "About" section claims that its status as a 527 PAC "will provide the infrastructure for the moral and financial support necessary so that [our] candidates can wage credible, winning campaigns." But a search on OpenSecrets.org turns up no results for Arps' group, which may mean that they haven't filed the appropriate paperwork to qualify as a PAC.
Anyway, where were we ... oh, yeah, it's movie night at UMKC! Should be fun, huh, guys?

Okay..but what about the RACISM and GENOCIDE of Blacks? Didn't you bother to investigate this????? I think it may be important. I urge the readers to watch Maafa231 and see what the media is keeping from you with their crafty diversions- http://www.maafa21.com
And....What about RACISM of Planned Parenthood? I see NO Reporting on that !!! Watch Maafa21, http://www.maafa21.com and find out what the media doesn't want you to know !
clear thinker/Chris Arps - Nice Glenn Beck approach - attack the reporter and a boogeyman instead of the content.
Nadia you might consider doing your own research in the future instead of printing what is provided to you by "self-proclaimed new media expert" with a grudge. While open secrets is a valuable website the FEC might disagree on who is the defining source.
Great reporting Nadia! Just a suggestion next time you're doing an investigative journalism piece, I understand journalism and the need to meet deadlines to get out the 'news' but you may want to go to FEC website instead of OpenSecrets.org. to find campaign finance data.
