BLACK MINISTERS GROUP: "MARGARET SANGER WAS A RACIST AND IT IS TIME FOR AMERICANS TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT HER AND PLANNED PARENTHOOD"
NORFOLK, VIRGINIA-
A
national
group
of
predominantly
black
ministers
-
MINISTERS
TAKING
A
STAND
("MTS")
-
has
denounced
Planned
Parenthood
as
a
racist
organization.
Margaret
Sanger,
Planned
Parenthood
founder,
has
a
history that
includes
support
for
eugenics
as
well
as
racist
motivations
to
limit
the
number of births of
black
babies.
Planned Parenthood founder
Margaret
Sanger,
supported
eugenics
and
was
a
devout
racist
who
sought
to
limit
the
number
of
black
births.
Bishop
E.W.
Jackson,
National
President
of
the
group,
said,
"If
Planned
Parenthood
is
trafficking
in
baby
body
parts,
you
can
be
sure
that
many
of
the
babies
they
are
ripping
apart
and
selling
on
the
auction
block
are
black.
Yet
the
liberal
media
fails
to
expose
this
truth.
If
black
lives
truly
matter,
the
lives
of
unborn
black
children
matter."
A portrait of Margaret Sanger hangs in the National Portrait Gallery's "The Struggle for Justice Exhibit." Jackson said, "If the left wants to take down the statues and monuments of Confederate leaders because of their alleged racism 150 years ago, then Margaret Sanger's portrait should not be hanging anywhere in honor of her. Her legacy is killing black babies today, not a century and half ago."
In a letter in 1939 Sanger wrote, "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."
These ministers ("MTS") say, "We did not get the memo. Count us among the rebellious ministers who will not be used as pawns for Planned Parenthood's evil agenda." They point out that Sanger spoke for and supported the racial agenda of the KKK. She apparently thought that her remarks were well received by these rabid racists. She said, "I believed I had accomplished my purpose." She also created the infamous Negro Project, the purpose of which was to limit if not eliminate black births. She saw black Americans as a burden society had to carry. "Even now," says Bishop Jackson, "Planned Parenthood locates roughly 70% of their clinics in predominately black communities. They are fulfilling what their founder had in mind."
MTS is calling on Congress to defund Planned Parenthood, and will begin a campaign to expose the racist origins of Planned Parenthood to more Americans. "As ministers of the gospel who serve predominantly black congregations," said Mr. Jackson, "we are not going to be silent when an organization which has now been exposed for the evil it does, is also deliberately targeting the black community. We are going to turn a national spotlight on Senators and Congressmen who are unwilling to defund PP. We will make sure that black voters know who is supporting the genocide against innocent babies."
