Good.

Yeah, she's definitely bought into a crazy theory, i dont think anyone denies that. But is there anything in there about eliminating the black race or whatever?

I get that out of it, though it is (slightly) debatable depending on how you string together context, calculate general social/racial attitudes at the time, and remember to think in terms of how words and their definitions were commonly employed at the time. Have to keep in mind it was written 80-100 years ago, not today.

That and a lot of these social/political type writings, not just hers, tend to go off on long, weird tangents where it gets difficult to distinguish hard statements from the psychobabble.
 
It's interesting that the left hears her mindset, example: 1919 M. Sanger article, that would so disproportionately affect black population reproduction as "not a bad thing",

Margaret Sanger: We who advocate Birth Control, on the other hand, lay all our emphasis upon stopping not only the reproduction of the unfit but upon stopping all reproduction when there is not economic means of providing proper care for those who are born in health.


1919 "not economic means of providing proper care"

dog whistle?
Key words?

:lol:

If that was part of a republican platform you'd hear the entire liberal media whining "another example of historic racism" 24/7.

:rolleyes:

The left embrace Sanger, because she's the shining angel of abortion. It would be refreshing if they'd at least admit she was a racist fascist eugenicist and apologize that their hero was deeply flawed.
 
Yes we expect it, but it doesn't mean it isn't worth getting upset over. I think it's all sorts of stupid this fighting. It makes zero sense why the government is so hell bent on sticking their hands in women's rights. But hey welcome to 'Murica.
Hey now, it makes perfect sense if you've got a patriarchal bent. Thanks for making me mansplain that.

Pretty sure you're the only person here sick enough to automatically associate the concepts of "poor" and "black" in your head.

when you pull your head out of your ass, zip yourself back to 1919 ;)

Pretty sure there's a huge swath of lefties in denial here. . . Don't give up your baton, grand master.

try again.

That's the thing, though. America, in this scenario, isn't responsible for teaching just the funding. Its independent groups doing the teaching.
Considering the AIDS epidemic still sweeping through Africa, that teaching probably accounts for stuff like how AIDS works and how a condom can help prevent it. If we don't fund that how many people are we killing through AIDS?
You're forgetting this is the US; hooray abstinence!

I disagree, but either way statistically speaking, our country is apparently a better place today because of Roe V Wade. #freakonomics
Freakonomics: bullshit or utter bullshit?

More specifically that is one of many explanations for the crime drop. Leaded gas is my favorite.
 
since we've kind of eliminated survival of the fittest principal in modern society, we probably need to eventually start implementing some type of low level eugenics program to counteract the negative benefits of it. like sterilizing everyone until they're a certain age and can prove they can afford/take care of a child.
How fascist of you.
