Hateful Hillary the Racist

Hillary accepted accolades in 2009 from Planned Parenthood while expressing her deep admiration for.... Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood.
Margaret Sanger was not your run-of-the-mill racist. No, she preached abortion for blacks to eliminate the race from America. Sanger
lectured to the Ku Klux Klan on her theme of hatred and intolerance, calling Orientals, Jews and Blacks "human weeds". What a vile woman who founded Planned Parenthood, which today aborts black babies at six times the rate of white babies, proportionate to black and white populations.

Foul-mouthed, hateful, vindictive, petty, greedy and dishonest, Hillary is about as far removed as she could possibly be from the type of
political candidate envisioned by our honorable Founding Fathers.

Hateful Hillary

What ever:roll:, Abortion was legalized almost 45 Years ago, and I would bet anything that millions more White babies have been Aborted than Black babies, so what??

And I and millions of others don't give a flying Muck, about a bunch of guys that have been dead for 100 years or more,; we want to look FOWARD NOT BACK..

YEA old evil Hillary, the e mails, White water, Monica, Benghazi, who's that a Mexican porn star??, YAAAAWWWNN, I'm surprised the turds on the right haven't asked for her Birth Certificate yet??

So Margaret Sanger, who was born in 1879, was a racist? I'm shocked! Shocked I say!

But how does Hillary celebrating Ms. Sanger's accomplishments make HILLARY a racist? Are we racist when we celebrate our Founding Fathers? Because you don't get much more racist than enslaving people of a different race.

We can be nuanced in our views of people. Ms. Sanger was a racist but she did a great service to women's reproductive health. Thomas Jefferson raped his slaves, but he penned one of the most influential documents in history. Tom Cruise is a raging psycho, but he makes some pretty good action movies.

Margaret Sanger preached abortion for blacks to eliminate the race? Really? She actually lectured to the KKK on birth control.
Do you have any supporting links?

She was an ardent eugenicist, and black folks were in majority the lower rungs on the genetic latter in her view.

Sanger's writings echoed ideas about inferiority and loose morals of particular races that were widespread in the contemporary United States.[85] In one "What Every Girl Should Know" commentary, she references popular opinion that Aboriginal Australians were "just a step higher than the chimpanzee" with "little sexual control," as compared to the "normal man and Woman."[78] Elsewhere she bemoaned that traditional sexual ethics "... have in the past revealed their woeful inability to prevent the sexual and racial chaos into which the world has today drifted."[94]

Such attitudes did not keep her from collaborating with African-American leaders and professionals who saw a need for birth control in their communities. In 1929, James H. Hubert, a black social worker and leader of New York's Urban League, asked Sanger to open a clinic in Harlem.[97] Sanger secured funding from the Julius Rosenwald Fund and opened the clinic, staffed with black doctors, in 1930. The clinic was directed by a 15-member advisory board consisting of black doctors, nurses, clergy, journalists, and social workers. The clinic was publicized in the African-American press and in black churches, and it received the approval of W. E. B. Du Bois, founder of the NAACP.[98] She did not tolerate bigotry among her staff, nor would she tolerate any refusal to work within interracial projects.[99] Sanger's work with minorities earned praise from Martin Luther King, Jr., in his 1966 acceptance speech for the Margaret Sanger award.[100]

From 1939 to 1942 Sanger was an honorary delegate of the Birth Control Federation of America, which included a supervisory role—alongside Mary Lasker and Clarence Gamble—in the Negro Project, an effort to deliver birth control to poor black people.[101] Sanger wanted the Negro Project to include black ministers in leadership roles, but other supervisors did not. To emphasize the benefits of involving black community leaders, she wrote to Gamble "we do not want 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." This quote has been cited by Angela Davis to support her claims that Sanger wanted to exterminate black people.[102] However, New York University's Margaret Sanger Papers Project, argues that in writing that letter, "Sanger recognized that elements within the black community might mistakenly associate the Negro Project with racist sterilization campaigns in the Jim Crow South, unless clergy and other community leaders spread the word that the Project had a humanitarian aim."[103]

The idea of using this to indict Hillary Clinton is rather silly and pathetic. However...

Margret Sanger in many ways was an incidental racist, if not full blown racist. Her views of legitimate births and intelligence placed a premium on whites over blacks, but she was unable to see how those conceptions of hers were inherently racist. Intelligence tests at the period overwhelmingly suggested that anyone not white were probably less intelligent-and furthermore, incredibly more likely to be intellectually disabled. A study conducted during the period discovered that almost 3/4 of the immigrant population fighting in WW1 qualified for feeble mindedness. Given they were using the same intelligence tests as the ones implicitly supported by Sanger, this has consequences. Taken with the fact that she supported involuntary sterilization of the feeble-minded, her ideas were going to suggest that a whole lot of non-whites were going to be forced to not have children in order to save the human race from intellectual inferiority. She offered some pushback toward the outright racism of southern eugenics policies, but as I said, you can't escape the biases and consequences of the period's intelligence testing. Such ended up being the case with negative eugenics policies as they were implemented throughout the country.

She furthermore accepted the dominant intellectual stream within the humanities which presupposed that native cultures, island cultures, African cultures were much more savage and inferior (even animalistic) to Western white civilization. Another issue within the black community is the historical awareness that with systemic racial poverty came intersection with acceptable births. Given that Sanger was a white bourgeois woman declaring her alliance for any mother, especially impoverished, her insistence that the poor limit their births would collide with the feeling that whites don't want black babies.

She didn't really discriminate her audiences either. Anyone that was on board with eugenics or birth control she connected. Her biggest issue was birth control, so that often meant that she still had differences of opinion with whoever she was promoting. She was doing it to advance her cause and causes.

In terms of contemporary sympathies, conservatives often have difficulty understanding how their views of intelligence likewise tip the balance of whites versus blacks. Furthermore, a lot of pro-choice liberals are too fixated in defending her otherwise admirable work by ignoring or completely downplaying the impact of Sanger's worldview on racial superiority and negative eugenics.

That being said, with Sanger, you cannot escape her eugenic philosophy from her support of birth control. They were intertwined, and as such, with one came the other.

There's a difference between admiring what a person accomplished and admiring the person. Sanger supported a slow genocide, any admiration for her as a person should show that those who admire her either are grossly ignorant of the truth about her, are ignoring those facts or are in agreement with them.

Seemed to for Trent Lott. :shrug:

Hillary Clinton is pro choice, Hillary Clinton is most likely gonna be endorsed by planned parenthood, Planned Parenhood's founder was involved in the eugenics movement 50-70 years ago, therefore Hillary Clinton is a racist. This my friends is called a straw man argument.
But glad to see that whoever runs this blog is on to some real in-depth undercover not crazy at all reporting

Also, there tends to be this significant gulf between the pro-choice crowd, as well as racial minorities, and the disabled. This is kind of bound to happen sooner or later when each group kind of argued about how this issue or that impacts one layer of their identity and their community as a whole. However, Planned Parenthood to this day, somewhat out of self-promotion and self-preservation felt the need to counter the claims of race and Margret Sanger. However, I noticed they have made little attempt to intellectually engage in a discussion surrounding the totality of her views and the methods by which she wanted to implement her vision. There's no real discussion about the racial implications of intelligence testing, her dalliances with early 20th century cultural anthropology, no attempt to discuss what disability historians have pointed out for decades about intelligence testing and the creation of feeblemindedness. They look at it through a very narrow scope. Over the past 30-40 years we have seen kind of this intellectual trend in the historiography. In social history discussing previously unmentioned content, you tend to have your first generation over promote the goodness of your people. Part of this is because there was a lot of good important people that had been put aside and you want to show them off. Then as time goes on, researchers dig deeper and less romanticize them.

Planned Parenthood (and much of the pro-choice movement) is stuck in the hero worship phase. Unfortunately, in the face of rather infantile criticism of Sanger (as shown by the OP, who probably has some serious racial issues that he too needs to sort out), the dominant response seems to be to circle the wagons in her defense rather than be willing to be critical of her and acknowledge the serious cultural issues still left unacknowledged between racial minorities and the disability community. Racial minorities correctly assert that for generations eugenics and birth control was kind of used as a wedge against them. The disability community correctly asserts the same. That's why it does remain important for the pro-choice community to take it seriously instead of continuing to dismiss it.

Is this item #7 or #8 in a continuing series of anti-Hillary pieces designed to get her not to run for President because the Republicans fear they will not be able to do so if she choses to run in 2016?

The claims of Sanger's racism are highly exaggerated. Her views on race were very typical for her time, arguably less racist than the mainstream. She did so much other good work that benefited all low income people, that, on balance, she deserves acclaim. Her work required extraordinary bravery and she suffered from many forms of harassment and oppression.

"In contrast with eugenicist William Robinson, who advocated euthanasia for the unfit,[note 9] Sanger wrote, "we [do not] believe that the community could or should send to the lethal chamber the defective progeny resulting from irresponsible and unintelligent breeding."[93] Similarly, Sanger denounced the aggressive and lethal Nazi eugenics program.[88] In addition, Sanger believed the responsibility for birth control should remain in the hands of able-minded individual parents rather than the state, and that self-determining motherhood was the only unshakable foundation for racial betterment.[90][94]

Sanger also supported restrictive immigration policies. In "A Plan for Peace", a 1932 essay, she proposed a congressional department to address population problems. She also recommended that immigration exclude those "whose condition is known to be detrimental to the stamina of the race," and that sterilization and segregation be applied to those with incurable, hereditary disabilities....

Sanger's writings echoed ideas about inferiority and loose morals of particular races that were widespread in the contemporary United States.[85] In one "What Every Girl Should Know" commentary, she references popular opinion that Aboriginal Australians were "just a step higher than the chimpanzee" with "little sexual control," as compared to the "normal man and Woman."[78] Elsewhere she bemoaned that traditional sexual ethics "... have in the past revealed their woeful inability to prevent the sexual and racial chaos into which the world has today drifted."[94]

Just more swift-boating from the right.
No change in GOP orthodoxy since Nixon's Southern Strategy full of racism .

It isn't a perfect apples to apples comparison, but it's very close. Maybe this thread should be in the media bias subforum.
