Feminist icon Margaret Sanger and her "Negro Eugenics Program and speech to the KKK"

Feminist icon and planned parenthood founder Margaret Sanger and her "Negro Eugenics Program" spoke to the KKK in New Jersey in May 1926. Sanger said of her speech at the rally in her book, “I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered. The conversation went on and on, and when we were finally through it was too late to return to New York...." Feminists and the women of the KKK were also istrumental in making Prohibition the law...

Margaret Sanger and her, "negro eugenics program," and speech to the KKK:

Progressives today dare not raise the alarming specter of Sanger’s “Negro Project,” or her correspondence with Dr. Clarence Gamble, one of her Negro Project collaborators. In a remarkable December 10, 1939 letter today held in the Sanger archives at Smith College (I have a photocopy), Sanger urged Gamble: “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.”

So, when liberals wail and gnash their teeth over Steve Scalise, ask them if they give a rip that one of the charter members of the progressive hall of fame, a forever-revered icon-in-good-standing, Saint Margaret Sanger, had a Negro Project, preached “race improvement,” and spoke to the KKK. Don’t be surprised when they respond in complete denial, complete anger, or complete bewilderment

There’s no excuse for not knowing that Sanger did this, other than the routine self-censorship and self-imposed ignorance that liberals excel at imposing on themselves. Sanger openly wrote about in her 1938 autobiography published by W.W. Norton, one of the leading New York publishing houses.
There, on pages 366 and 367, Sanger began by immediately justifying her acceptance of the invitation: “Always to me any aroused group was a good group, and therefore I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan at Silver Lake, New Jersey.” (Imagine a modern Republican saying roughly the same thing: “Always to me any passionate group is a good group, and therefore I accepted an invitation to talk to the [fill-in-the-blank] branch of the Ku Klux Klan….”
Sanger relayed little of what she shared with the klanswomen at their rally, though apparently she was extremely successful and satisfied with herself: “I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered. The conversation went on and on, and when we were finally through it was too late to return to New York…. I could not even send a telegram to let my family know whether I had been thrown in the river or was being held incommunicado. It was nearly one before I reached Trenton, and I spent the night in a hotel.”

One might ask, why would the KKK be so interested in Ms. Sanger? The reasons are obvious, a natural fit.
Sanger was a passionate racial-eugenicist with a crowning vision for what she openly called “race improvement.” The Planned Parenthood founder lamented America’s “race of degenerates.” The nation’s landscape needed to be purged of its “human weeds” and “the dead weight of human waste.” This included the “feeble-minded,” the “insane,” and the just plain “idiots.” Sanger shared the disparaging view of humanity held by another progressive icon, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, who declared that “Three generations of imbeciles are enough.” Like Holmes, and, for that matter, like Adolf Hitler—who was an obviously more aggressive racial-eugenicist—Sanger hoped to finesse and refine the “gene pool.” She would do so not with gas chambers and concentration camps but with birth-control pills, eliminating human life before conception rather than after birth. Thus, her Planned Parenthood, which was originally called the American Birth Control League.
One of Sanger’s favorite slogans, so much so that it adorned the masthead of her Birth Control Review, was this: “Birth Control: To Create a Race of Thoroughbreds

What can you say? The early progressive movement was racist as all Hell. Things change over time.

Do you really think she used the word Negro in 1926?
 
Re: Feminist icon Margaret Sanger and her "Negro Eugenics Program and speech to the K

Similarly, hydrogen cyanide was used in gas chambers in Nazi Germany, which means that modern gold miners are also mass murderers. (they use the chemical in the mining process)

One of the constituents of vitamin B-12 in the body is a cyanide ion!!!! and the government forces manufacturers to put vitamin B-12 in flour!!!! The government is trying to poison us with cyanide!!!!!



Of course If you don't get enough vitamin B-12 you'll get pernicious anemia and die but meh.

What the heck does this have to do with 'sex and sexuality'?

This may sound sexist, so I apologize in advance, I know it's not politically correct, but I believe there are biological differences between men and women.

For instance, women tend to have vaginas and men tend to have penises.

Yeah? So did Tesla.

And several of America's founding owned slaves and opposed de-segregation.
Others opposed women and even men's right to vote.
Henry Ford was an anti-Semite.
And Abraham Lincoln found the Native Americans to be highly detestable.

So . . nothing they EVER did resulted in anything WORTHWHILE since they don't meet our modern-day standard of being 'decent people'. ?

Well we all know that's not true - and no one honestly gives a ****.

Eugenics -- is that the thing that is supposedly genetically based ??

Well everybody is giving BHO their awards ... Nobel ... etc.

They were all really glad to get rid of GWB.

That is what has hurt Jeb the most.

And Old Man JHW wanted to see both his boys become POTUS.

If people really cared about the dark history behind modern things, nobody would be driving Volkswagons, wearing Hugo Boss, using IBM products or the five circles and torch relay in the Olympics. But somehow, we all move on.

Or living in what is now the US and A.

I personally believe we should ditch the DOI and Constitution because some of the Founding Fathers were slave owners and raped their slaves.
