“At the beginning of World War II, African Americans were banned from blood donations.
At the start of World War II, the American Red Cross announced the need for blood, the need was to build up their supply for those wounded in the military. African Americans lined up with other Americans to help contribute-but blacks were all quickly turned away. Newspapers across the country read headlines such as “American Red Cross Bans Negro Blood!”
These actions set off a nationwide negative publicity firestorm. The American Red Cross worked to figure out a solution to handling “negro blood.” The new policy created would allow blood from African Americans, however, but it would be in line with the Jim Crow doctrine of separate but equal. The blood would be processed and dispensed separately “so that those receiving transfusions may be given plasma from the blood of their own race.”
Black newspapers, which were extremely popular and important at time, constantly ran coverage protesting blood segregation and exclusion, the papers featured front-page stories which were in boldface headlines.
An article which appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association on July 4, 1942, officially weighed in against the policy, stating in part: “The segregation of the blood of white persons from the blood of Negroes in the blood ban is not only unscientific but is a grievous affront to the largest minority in our country.”
The Army surgeon general gave a statement on the issue, “For reasons not biologically convincing but which are commonly recognized as psychologically important in America, it is not deemed advisable to collect and mix Caucasian and Negro blood indiscriminately.” However, the Red Cross did not get it straightened out until 1950, when, after a decade of criticism, they finally stopped segregating blood. However, it took some states longer to come around, including Louisiana.

Personally, if I had to receive blood, I would refer that it came from a Black person. Just the thought of receiving blood from a white person throws me into a tailspin just thinking about all the diseases white people carry in their bloodstream.
You just made a statement that shows how stupid and ignorant you really are. You need to a biology class to educate yourself on blood plasma. You obviously never heard of Dr. Charles Drew?
It’s an example of small screwed up minds. I wonder if some lives could have been saved if this policy hadn’t existed?
Hey, how’s it going?
I want to pass along some very important news that everyone needs to hear!
In December of 2017, Donald Trump made history by recognizing Jerusalem as the captial of Israel. Why is this big news? Because by this the Jewish people of Israel are now able to press forward in bringing about the Third Temple prophesied in the Bible.
Jewish Rabbis have publicly announced that their Messiah will be revealed in the coming years who will be a leader and spiritual guide to all nations, gathering all religions under the worship of one God. They deny Jesus as their Messiah, and the Bible tells us this Jewish Messiah will be the counterfiet that will bring about a false peace, and ultimatley the great tribulation.
They even printed a coin to raise money for the Temple with Donald Trumps face on the front and with king Cyrus'(who built the second Temple) behind him. On the back of the coin is an image of the third Temple.
More importantly, the power that runs the world wants to put a RFID microchip in our body making us total slaves to them. This chip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible, more specifically in Revelation 13:16-18:
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”
Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Otherwise, we could still buy or sell without the mark amongst others if physical money was still currency. This Mark couldn’t be spiritual because the word references two different physical locations. If it was spiritual it would just say in the forehead. RFID microchip implant technology will be the future of a one world cashless society containing digital currency. It will be implanted in the right-hand or the forehead, and we cannot buy or sell without it! We must grow strong in Jesus. AT ALL COSTS, DO NOT TAKE IT!
“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name” (Revelation 14:9-11).
People have been saying the end is coming for many years, but we needed two key things. One, the Third Temple, and two, the technology for a cashless society to fulfill the prophecy of the Mark of the Beast.

If you haven’t already, it is time to seek God with all your heart. Jesus loves you more than you could imagine. He wants to have a relationship with you and redeem you from your sins. Turn to Him and repent while there is still hope! God bless!
