re: Planned Parenthood tweets using #BlackLivesMatter

But thus far you've only offered evidence that Margaret Sanger was a racist.

And Margaret Sanger popularized the term "birth control" in the U.S., opened its first BC clinic, and founded the American Birth Control League, which became Planned Parenthood, period. Yes, she had help, but she was THE founder and THE driving force for the movement and the organization. I assume you concede she was a virulent racist (she didn't much care for poor people of all stripes, but "Negros" particularly gave her the willies - especially the idea of millions of little black children running around).

On the other hand, for every racist founder, I can point to one that fought against it - and they didn't have the benefit of the passage of 100 to 140 years of time that Ms. Sanger had and she was doing this in the post-Reconstruction era. Her racist views (and organization) were in that context, not the "status quo".

You are a fool.
