Will the Real Liberal Please Stand Up Pt. 7

Racism is real. The sooner we all come to terms with this fact, the sooner we can all move beyond the notion that skin color defines who and what we are. This disorder exists among every race, and in many cases is sub-cultural; that is, many of the same race will harbor ill will toward someone lighter or darker than them. The need to differentiate ourselves from someone or everyone else is a strange human trait.


More concerning to me, however, is the blatant call to eradicate or mitigate the population of one race by another.  As we are all aware, Adolph Hitler perpetuated the nastiest, most disgusting form of racism when he slaughtered millions of innocent Jews in the 1930's and 1940's.  On par with this level of destruction is the systematic elimination of the black race, specifically here in the United States.  Even more concerning is how the left has embraced and softened the verbiage around this form of eugenics in an effort to make it palatable and rational to many.


Like you, I grow weary of the comparisons of fellow Americans to Hitler and the Nazis of WWII infamy. With that said, it is important to understand that eugenics is still quietly at play in our world today.


Without going down the path of politics, even though the intent of this continuing series is to draw a distinction between today's liberal and yesterday's democrat versus conservatives in America, I would like to focus on the history of abortion and what is today referred to as "a woman's right to choose."  Again, I'm not interested in the partisan political rhetoric that usually surrounds the topic (I, for one, do not believe this issue is a political one; rather it is a matter of conscience, or lack thereof), but the history and rationale for its legalization by the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger.


In a letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, a leader of the eugenics movement, Sanger wrote the following:

“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the 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."


Interestingly, blacks make up between twelve and fifteen percent of the population in the United States, but roughly thirty-five percent of aborted babies are black.  Planned Parenthood's clinics are located an astounding seventy-eight percent of the time in black neighborhoods.


How, then, can it be stated that Margaret Sanger supported "a woman's right to choose" when she clearly advocated for the elimination of a race in its entirety?  The most grossly negligent attitude the conservative movement has had is forgoing the notion that abortion was about racial dominance, and more about killing unborn babies.  While the latter is utterly disgusting, in my opinion the systematic and legal means of slowing or eliminating a race must not be ignored.


In conjunction with Sanger's desire to push forward the legalization of abortion is the availability of the birth control pill.  "The pill," as it is more commonly referred to, was designed to keep a woman from being pregnant, but Sanger's desire was to make it readily available to black women, like abortion, to keep the race from propagating.


Sanger's message has obviously been twisted and women in the United States have taken the legalization of abortion in a different direction, mostly, than Planned Parenthood's founder intended. However, the fact that so many abortion clinics are found in predominantly black neighborhoods today should not be shrugged off and ignored.


The question must be asked: Why is the legalization of abortion so dear to a liberal's heart?


Part eight of this continuing series will focus on the shaming of a targeted group of Americans for causes other than those liberals claim.
