The Negro Project

Planned Parenthood was founded by eugenicist Margaret Sanger in the 1920s in order, among other reasons, to better purge society of undesirables in general and blacks in particular. Here are a few excerpts from her writings which give us an insight into her thinking:

Organized charity itself is the symptom of a malignant social disease. Those vast, complex, interrelated organizations aiming to control and to diminish the spread of misery and destitution and all the menacing evils that spring out of this sinisterly fertile soil, are the surest sign that our civilization has bred, is breeding and perpetuating constantly increasing numbers of defectives, delinquents and dependents.

It [charity] encourages the healthier and more normal sections of the world to shoulder the burden of unthinking and indiscriminate fecundity of others; which brings with it, as I think the reader must agree, a dead weight of human waste. Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant [emphasis added].

The most serious charge that can be brought against modern "benevolence" is that it encourages the perpetuation of defectives, delinquents and dependents. These are the most dangerous elements in the world community, the most devastating curse on human progress and expression.

We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the [black] minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.

This video was made by some folks pretending to want to make a financial contribution to PP for the express purpose of aborting black babies because the world needs fewer blacks. The group was interested to see how PP would respond to their offer. At least one representative of the organization sounded both delighted and sympathetic:
