Nazi Sympathizer?Termin8tor » 17 Aug 2017 1:52 pm » wrote: Why don't you answer my question, you Nazi sympathizer?
My accusation is somewhat accurate, given your strong support of Sanger's organization.
Margaret Sanger has nothing to do with anything that is going on right now.
It's just another deflection in your efforts to protect the White Pride Piper that you blindly follow.
You wingnuts obviously got your talking points on this because coincidentally two people on this thread suddenly invoked the name of Margaret Sanger.
She is just another right wing boogeyman whose name you pinheads love to throw out, like George Soros.
And you have distorted her views in order to smear her.
Yes, I support Planned Parenthood.Last year, 25 House Republicans campaigned to have a bust of the pioneering family planner removed from the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, where it has been included in an exhibit featuring American civil rights leaders, called “The Struggle for Justice,” with Ted Cruz’s office issuing a press release explaining that she didn’t belong there for a number of reasons, the most damning of which is that as part of her “inhumane life’s work” she “advocated for the extermination of African-Americans.”
It’s not the first time Sanger has faced this accusation. During this past primary season, Ben Carson proclaimed that Sanger “believed that people like me should be eliminated” —later clarifying, per PolitiFact, that he was “talking about the black race”—and in 2011, Herman Cain alleged that Sanger’s original goal for Planned Parenthood was to “help kill black babies before they came into the world.”
Historians and scholars who've examined Sanger's correspondence, as Salon reported in 2011, challenge those who call the activist racist.
Much of the controversy stems from a 1939 letter in which Sanger outlined her plan to reach out to black leaders — specifically ministers — to help dispel community suspicions about the family planning clinics she was opening in the South.
“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,” she wrote. It was, as the Washington Post called it, an “inartfully written” sentence, but one that, in context, describes the sort of preposterous allegations she feared — not her actual mission. The irony is that it has been used to propagate those very allegations.
Sanger’s stated mission was to empower women to make their own reproductive choices. She did focus her efforts on minority communities, because that was where, due to poverty and limited access to health care, women were especially vulnerable to the effects of unplanned pregnancy.

Why, are you saying that they practice eugenics?
