Marching for life and against the "Negro Project"
Jan 23, 2006
by La Shawn Barber
On January 8, 2006, I attended the Justice Sunday III conference at
Greater Exodus Baptist Church, a predominantly black church in
Philadelphia. Reverend Herbert Lusk preached passionately against
abortion and called it murder. Today, I will attend the Blogs4Life
Conference, then head to the National Mall for the March for Life
rally. I hope to see a large number of the kind of people who nodded in
agreement with Rev. Lusk's sermon.
Black women are three times as likely to have abortions as their white
counterparts. Blacks and Hispanics are about 25 percent of the
population, yet they account for 57 percent of all abortions. Aside
from the fact that abortion is murder, there are two very important
reasons why black people should be represented in great numbers at the
March for Life rally:
Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger was the ultimate white
supremacist
The Planned Parenthood Federation of America makes a futile effort to
deny that its founder Margaret Sanger was a eugenicist. Eugenics is a
pseudo-science that claims some races are genetically superior and more
fit to survive than others. As a eugenicist, Sanger's goals were to
discourage the "unfit" and "inferior" from reproducing. In her
1922 book Pivot of Civilization, she called for segregation of
"morons, misfits, and the maladjusted" and sterilization of
"genetically inferior races."
Can you guess which race in particular she considered genetically
inferior?
Sanger even suggested that the federal government pay "obviously
unfit parents" not to have children and advocated limiting and
discouraging "overfertility of the mentally and physically
defective."
In 1916, Sanger founded the Birth Control League, the forerunner of
Planned Parenthood. She appointed a man named Lothrop Stoddard, a Nazi
sympathizer, fellow eugenicist and author of The Rising Tide of Color
Against White World Supremacy to the Board of Directors. At some point,
after Adolph Hitler's atrocities against the Jews became known,
Sanger changed the league's name to Planned Parenthood, because
"birth control" was too closely associated with eugenics.
More controversial is Sanger's "Negro Project," devised in 1939.
The eugenicist set out to implicate black ministers and doctors in her
efforts to spread her message of contraception, sterilization, and
abortion in the black community. "The most successful educational
approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We do not want the
word to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and
the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it occurs
to any of their more rebellious members," she wrote.
People in poorer areas, particularly the South, were producing
"alarmingly more than their share" of babies. Sanger was able to
enlist black men such as W.E.B. Dubois and Dr. Adam Clayton Powell (a
minister) to her cause. Even Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., had a part
to play. In 1966, he received an award from Planned Parenthood,
writing, "There is a striking kinship between our movement and
Margaret Sanger's early efforts."
Margaret Sanger's project worked better than she could have hoped.
Not only do black women have abortions at higher rates, a solid 90
percent of black voters shamelessly cast ballots for the Democratic
Party, an unabashed supporter of Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood targets minority women
Sanger would be very proud of what her modest Birth Control League has
become.
The Cybercast News Service compared the location of Planned Parenthood
abortion clinics with population figures from the 2000 Census:
"In nearly two-thirds (62.5 percent) of the comparisons, the
communities with a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic had a higher
percentage of blacks than the state did as a whole.
In Delaware, Florida, Massachusetts and Ohio, the communities
containing all of the Planned Parenthood abortion clinics had much
higher black populations than their respective states, while Idaho,
Kentucky, North Dakota, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming -- all of which
have low black populations -- have none of the organization's
abortion facilities.
Two states with high black populations -- Louisiana (32.5 percent) and
Mississippi (36.3 percent) -- also have no Planned Parenthood abortion
clinics, due in large part to the strength of pro-life forces in that
part of the nation and state laws that restrict access to abortion,
according to Jim Sedlak, executive director of STOPP International."
Even after her death, Sanger's Negro Project lives on. Black
ministers and so-called civil rights organizations that support Planned
Parenthood ensure that minority women remain targets. Carlton W. Veazey
is a minister, supporter of Planned Parenthood, and president and CEO
of an organization once called the Religious Coalition for Abortion
Rights, now disguised as the Religious Coalition for Reproductive
Choice (RCRC).
Veazey founded a program called the Black Church Initiative,
purportedly in response to the high pregnancy rate among black teens.
According to RCRC's web site, the initiative "encourages and
assists African American clergy and laity in addressing teen
childbearing, sexuality education, unintended pregnancies, and other
reproductive health issues within the context of African American
culture and religion."
For the first time in its 95-year history, the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People, which once fought to protect black
lives, took an official position in favor of abortion in 2004.
While black liberals and so-called men of God continue to align
themselves with Margaret Sanger's "offspring," I intend to
campaign for the protection of all unborn babies, no matter what race
or genetic inheritance.

You can believe that black people ought to do the less prestigous jobs in
our society, whilst still believing that they should be protected from being
pulled to bits with high-powered vacuum tubes.
No contradiction there.

Pound of Crumpets is just looking for things to exploit in his advocacy of
Christianist extremism. It's not like he wouldn't advocate genocide if he
thought it'd advance the power of his Imams...

Marching for life and against the "Negro Project"
Jan 23, 2006
by La Shawn Barber
I see that La Shawn Barber is trying to curry favor with the GOP by
lying about the Negro Project, and about Margaret Sanger's relationship
with the African-American community and her intentions toward them.
Her problem is that she can't impugn Sanger's motives without implying
that the African-American leaders she worked were gullible idiots.
The advisory council for the Negro Project included W.E.B. DuBois (a
founding member of the NAACP), Mary McLeod Bethune, and Rev. Adam
Clayton Powell, Jr. These were not people who were easily misled, as
right-to-liars like Barber would have you believe.
Most people don't realize that in that very racist time (the 1920s and
1930s), public health clinics did not serve African-American patients.
Sanger was aware that people might start rumors about this unique
attempt to provide health care (birth control, not abortion) to a
population that was severely underserved, and Sanger didn't want people
to get the wrong impression about the Negro Project.
I wonder if Barber thinks this man is a gullible idiot:
"There is a striking kinship between our movement and Margaret
Sanger's early efforts. ... Our sure beginning in the struggle
for
equality by nonviolent direct action may not have been so
resolute
without the tradition established by Margaret Sanger and people
like her." -- Martin Luther King
Finally, what is gained by defaming a dead woman?

It's as fact-challenged as the original post in this thread, Anne.
Many of the quotations in that article that attributed to Sanger were
written by someone else or else outright fabrications. And the article
you cited stands on the same deceit as does Barber - the deceit that
the African-American leaders who cooperated with Sanger were gullible
idiots.
I wonder if Barber thinks this man is a gullible idiot:

Non sequitur. Address the question - what is GAINED by defaming a dead
woman?
And here's some more food for thought. Eugenics was very popular and
respectable in the first third of the 20th century. For example,
Theodore Roosevelt believed in eugenics. Consider these quotations
from "The Works of Theodore Roosevelt":
"I wish very much that the wrong people could be prevented
entirely from breeding; and when the evil nature of these
people is sufficiently flagrant, this should be done.
Criminals should be sterilized, and feeble-minded persons
forbidden to leave offspring behind them."
--Theodore Roosevelt, in "Twisted Eugenics"
"Criminals should not have children. Shiftless and worthless
people should not have families which they are unable to
bring up properly. Such marriages are a curse to the
community."
--Theodore Roosevelt, in "Race Decadence"
T.R. was a *Republican*, btw. He also argued that "decent citizens"
had a duty to have large families. The Roman Catholic Church agreed,
referring to this as "positive eugenics". Something to think about
before casting stones at Sanger.
