Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood and a patron saint amongst the democrat base, had this take on race:


"It seems to me from my experience…that while the colored Negroes have great respect for white doctors they can get closer to their own members and more or less lay their cards on the table which means their ignorance, superstitions and doubts.

We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal.

We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."


Did she really pen those words? That's shocking and abhorrent!

Yes. Like the fact all of those southern democrats were arch conservatives.

"Words are inadequate for me to say how honored I was to be the recipient of the Margaret Sanger Award. This award will remain among my most cherished possessions. While I cannot claim to be worthy of such a signal honor, I can assure you that I accept it with deep humility and sincere gratitude. Such a wonderful expression of support is of inestimable value for the continuance of my humble efforts... I am happy to be the recipient of the Margaret Sanger Award and I can assure you that this distinct honor will cause me to work even harder for a reign of justice and a rule of love all over our nation." - Martin Luther King. May 1966

Oh a regular Fox News muppet, who saw THAT coming?

No denying that history. Shameful and sad. But which side are the democrats on TODAY and which side are the republican'ts on TODAY? If all you've got is pointing back in time, well that's just pathetic. Your party TODAY is one of oppression and bigotry. Your side are the ones defending the confederate flag.

As I've said many times, not all republicans are racist but if you're a racist chances are VERY good you're a republican.

 

[Jack Davenport]

Or a washed up former starship helmsman.

 

[MMMariah]

How happy are you that a gay democrat (I'm assuming) said some racial shit? That must make your week. But what your one track mind doesn't get is that you're grasping onto an old has been who only star trek nerds even know exists is the one who said it. If I didn't watch big bang theory I wouldn't even know who the fuck the guy is.

The difference is the your side is filled with people saying racist and bigoted things constantly. You get an old man that has become nothing more than a joke from our side. You are hardly balancing the scales here. But keep trying. Maybe William Shatner will turn out to be a cross dresser! Who knows!

 

[Jagger69]

Yes. Like the fact all of those southern democrats were arch conservatives.

Hence the old term "the solid south" meaning universally democratic back in the day. The democratic party during the Civil War ran General McClellan on a platform to end the war. A long historical viewpoint is needed when examining such things as most liberals today would have surely been republicans back in the day and vice-versa for conservatives/democrats. There's no correlation in a present-day context.

And because MLK accepted an award bearing her name that somehow negates the things she has said on record? He was probably running late meeting one of his mistresses and just wanted to get it over with.


Here's a few more:

"The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."

I'm sure those who have grown up in a large family and have gone on to lead productive lives would disagree. Even those who haven't would probably prefer being alive than dead.




"We should apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring."

I wonder what "tainted" portion of the population she's referring to?



"Article 1. The purpose of the American Baby Code shall be to provide for a better distribution of babies… and to protect society against the propagation and increase of the unfit.
Article 4. No woman shall have the legal right to bear a child, and no man shall have the right to become a father, without a permit…
Article 6. No permit for parenthood shall be valid for more than one birth."

Thank you comrade. fucking leftists.




"Give dysgenic groups [people with “bad genes”] in our population their choice of segregation or [compulsory] sterilization."

Pro choice.



"Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race."

A master race.

"The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."

Just think about that for a second. Margaret Sanger is not even talking about an unborn fetus here. She's talking about killing an infant. At least she was upfront and honest with what she believed. Fuck that racist ghoul and anyone who supports her. One of the main reasons I'm no longer liberal.

So Margaret Sanger is one of the big reasons you're no longer liberal? I can certainly understand your contempt for some of the things she's been attributed as saying, but Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger certainly don't represent the totality of Liberalism. I'm no Margaret Sanger expert or historian, but I've done a fair amount of reading about Sanger over the years and a lot of what you've posted was taken out of context, fabricated, or distorted. It's easy to do a drive-by character assassination but if you dig deeper you'll find that the factual biography of Sanger isn't what you've been led to believe by whoever you got your information from.

 

[MMMariah]

I don't give a fuck what she said planned parenthood helps a LOT of people. less than 5% of their funds go toward abortion so lets stop that before it begins. I have been a patient at planned parenthood and I know that without it I would have been SOL.

 

[sean miguel]

Not Margaret Sanger specifically, but yes, the sanctity of life issue was one of the main reasons.

I can certainly understand your contempt for some of the things she's been attributed as saying, but Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger certainly don't represent the totality of Liberalism.

No, but it's a major fault line.

Of those excerpts I quoted, which was outright fabricated? I've read commentary from both her supporters and detractors but I don't think there's any disagreement on her position on eugenics, just the defense that her view was shared by many in her day.

As far as digging deeper, my reading slate is clear so why not? Just go to the source.

I don't vote on any single issue, and certainly not abortion, but if you want to argue sanctity of life, there's a whole host of issues that the right has that are in conflict with sanctity of life; death penalty, war mongering, cutting social services to the poor, children, and elderly, opposition to healthcare, opposition to contraception that would prevent any need for abortive services, the list goes on and on. IF sanctity of life were my sole issue, I would still side with the fucking democrats. Abortions are bad, I agree and I would love to live in a world where the procedure didn't take place.

There's more than one philosophy of eugenics and what the far right tries to do is connect Margaret Sanger with the same ideology embraced by the Third Reich, not only is that inaccurate, but purposely misleading as well. It's like people who throw around the word Feminist when they have no clue that there are many flavors of feminism and trying to throw them all under the same umbrella merely reveals their lack of true scholarship on the topic. I have no desire to regurgitate shit I debunked about Margaret Sanger years ago, and finding reliable sources for either side is exceedingly difficult, suffice it to say you're making these allegations, that I'm sure you got from some not so disinterested far right agenda driven source, so the impetus is on you to seek out primary sources and take the totality of her words in full context, not merely a drive-by hatchet job by an agenda driven far right ideologue.

Any figure can be reduced to sound bytes to made look like something they're not. The left does, the right does it, and it's equally as repulsive.

If there is no difference in the end result is there really a difference?

Bottom line, Sanger was for segregation or sterilization of "unfit" groups. Is that in dispute? But yes, I'll read it for myself and take in the whole context.

 

[SabrinaDeep]

If all you've got is pointing back in time, well that's just pathetic.

I'm not picking on you today, but i'd like to ask you: would it be fair to call pathetic also any living black dude who still wave the slavery card these days at any racial symposium?
