Project 21, which bills itself as a "National Leadership Network of Black Conservatives," is a creation of the conservative think tank National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR). NCPPR's executive director, David Almasi, oversees Project 21's daily operations. Almasi, who previously worked for the Reed Irvine-created right-wing group Accuracy in Academia, employs spokesmen from a "variety of careers" throughout the country to promote Project 21's agenda through the media, academia, government, and business communities. Roll Call reported on October 19 that Jack Abramoff, a former NCPPR board member, used the organization to funnel $25,000 he received in lobbying fees from an Internet gaming company "to pay for foreign trips for Members of Congress and staff." Roll Call noted, as did The Washington Post, that this money was used to help fund a May 2000 golfing trip to St. Andrews, Scotland, that included former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX).
From the October 18 broadcast of Salem Radio Network's Janet Parshall's America:
MASSIE: There's a reason that the black family is in the state of destruction that it is today. At the close of the civil rights era -- and I submit that the civil rights battle has been won. It is over. Black people can do anything they want to do. There is no restrictions, apart from those that are self-imposed.
Afromerica
This is exactly what they want us and every optimisticly, guilt-stricken white mind and gullible Black mind to believe, that racism is dead. Even after the truths of Katrina and how too many Blacks are at the lower end of the American economic ladder. This is demented thinking and should be seen as just that, an excuse to continue a shadowy-type undercover racially motivated oppression.
PARSHALL: Mm-hmm.
Afromerica
(Parshall - the white woman showing white indifference)
MASSIE: At the close of Jim Crow, at that closing of that civil rights era, of those battles, the black family -- 87 percent of black households were two-parent married families. Eighty-seven percent. Forty percent of the black households were business owners. Forty percent.
PARSHALL: Wow.
MASSIE: And, in 40 years, we have 90 percent black-on-black crime. Seventy -- a high 70 percent, near 80 percent, black illegitimacy. We have, in 40 short years, 10,000-plus children born in Philadelphia in 2001, 9,700 and change black abortions. We have three out of every five black pregnancies ending in abortion. Now, how did we go from a period of Duke Ellington to a period of Tupac Shakur?
Afromerica
Yes, things were at least decent in Black America (as far as black unity was concerned) during segregation until the government intrusion of the Civil Rights Movement began and integration was forced on the country. Maybe segregation was the best thing for Blacks because when integration came along and the whites could choose what Blacks they wanted to come into the fold, it left many other Blacks to the mercy of the government, who shuffled them into government housing aka ghettos and placed them on a fixed income aka welfare.
PARSHALL: Mmm.
Afromerica
More white indifference.
MASSIE: How did we go from Nat King Cole to a 50 Cent, or Mystikal, or a Snoop Dogg? How did we go from dignity and honor and an impetus -- an importance placed on education to a thuggery? Rap and what we see today, you can't even call that gangster rap.
Afromerica
How did we go from there to here? Maybe it was because of the lack of parenting from the baby boomer generation, (your and Cosby's generation Mr. Massie) Maybe the generation today would not be as screwed up if parents had not cared more about making money and their careers, sex and drugs, than their own freakin kids.
PARSHALL: Mmm.
Afromerica
More...
MASSIE: Because the gangsters -- and I'm not going to ask you to date yourself, but I'll date myself -- I remember the gangsters being those that were meticulously dressed, that wore the finest of shoes and set the fashion trends. These things today are street trash -
Afromerica
Street trash? And the gangsters then in your day were what...social icons and heroes? You hypocrite a** Uncle Tom Negro. You are selling your soul as you speak trying to appease the white trash gangster you are talking to defending white gangster thugs you are speaking of.
PARSHALL: Mmm.
Afromerica
And more...
MASSIE: -- that have drug the family down, and the church, and Janet, I will go on record and I will not win any popularity awards, but it is the fault of the black church and the black community because the preachers have succumbed to hatred; they have succumbed to a disobedience to God. There is a parallel that I think needs to be pointed out. Had Joseph not been kidnapped and sold into slavery, he would not have been in a position to help his family in their time of need.
Afromerica
Though the pastors today have sold out as you have, they are not slave owners, they are but mere tokens, as you are, who have no knowledge of the true God and can only see price tag's to sellout the very people they are born to represent. The slavery of the Hebrews was not right in the sight of God but was a crime against humanity and reparations were paid and the Hebrews received their reward and the slave-oppressors their just due. What America wants to do is escape the horrid truths of the past and the responsibility of reparations due to many peoples and move on, and it seems they will get the chance to with ignorance spewing from people like you who attempt to justify their crimes against the Africans and many other races.
PARSHALL: Hmmm. Wow.
Afromerica
Extreme indifference from the white woman.
MASSIE: The black people today who curse America are cursing God because if God had not permitted the Ashanti and Dahomey tribes of ancient Africa to trap other Africans and sell them to the Muslims, who sold them to the Europeans, we would not have what we have today.
Afromerica
And what do we have today? Equality? Respect? Wealth? What?
Slavery is a blessing? Is that what you want to convince white and Blacks folks of? You idiot? Slavery of no kind is from God or God ordained or God ignored. It is a crime against any race or creed of people and the enslavers will pay dearly whether by their lives or by their deaths.
Black people who see America for what it really is - an imperialistic curse to the world are no more wrong to judge their past sins as you are to condone them. The truth is in what is just and right, not what sounds good as an excuse, you complete idiotic, tokenized Negro, Mr Massie.
PARSHALL: Mychal, thank you very much. There is a reason why you host a program called Straight Talk, because you just gave it to us. God bless you, brother, appreciate you very much. We'll take a break, folks, and come right back.
White America is desperate and will try and or do anything to clear themselves of their guilt against the crimes against Blacks. But because of this atrocity of a news story, Afromerica is going to fight even harder and expose the liars and humanitarian criminals to the fullest.
