In my movies, “Hillary’s America” and “Death of a Nation,” I portrayed Margaret Sanger, the founder and longtime leader of Planned Parenthood, as an out-and-out racist. My evidence for this was overwhelming: Sanger was never an advocate of birth control per se; she wanted birth control of the people she considered unwanted people in society, a group she termed “undesirables” and “human weeds.” Sanger’s goal was to create “a race of thoroughbreds,” a term evocative of the goals of the Nazis. She drew a sharp line not so much between black and white as between “fit” and “unfit.” By fit she meant whites, but only educated, upper-class whites. By unfit, she meant pretty much everyone else.

The Civil Rights movement was propelled by the blatant portrayal, yet denial, of Americas systemic racism. The refusal to recognize the grave social injustices levied upon the African American community, compelled the church to respond. Clergy, Rabbis, community activists and Black and White activists led nationwide protests here in America. The Negro had been denied access to the American Dream and this needed to be remedied. No honest historian can ever claim that religion played no part in the process.

In a
New York Timesop-ed published Saturday, titled, “I’m the Head of Planned Parenthood. We’re Done Making Excuses for Our Founder,” CEO Alex McGill Johnson explains Sanger’s promotion of eugenics focused on eliminating poor and non-white people is indeed a problem for the organization.
“Sanger, a nurse, opened the nation’s first birth control clinic in Brownsville, Brooklyn, in 1916, and dedicated her life to promoting birth control to improve women’s lives. But was she, or was she not, racist?” Johnson asks.

Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson acknowledged that the abortion giant’s founder, Margaret Sanger, was a proponent of eugenics but stopped short of labeling her a “racist.”
“We will no longer make excuses or apologize for Margaret Sanger’s actions. But we can’t simply call her racist, scrub her from our history, and move on.
