I am pro life and I hate abortion and the thought of this donation and the way it was punked on this non proffit employee is horrible. I hate racism. So what about this, what if there was a group of African American people out there raising funds to help young African American women who have become pregnant that want to terminate their pregnancies but can't afford it? I mean, the call would have been TOTALLY different but the call would have ended the same, the group would have wanted the funds to go specifically to African American women needing assistance in paying for termination and possible counselling afterwards. They wouldn't have wanted their funds to go to whites or hispanics. So what was she supposed to do? I would love to record lots of calls without one person knowing and if you've never worked in non-profit, let me say this, you take it when it comes, smile and say thank you. There are young (and older) women of all races depending on donations to women clinics for all kinds of assistance, abortions, exams and again COUNSELLING for those women. I am just saying, take another look, it's not like she joined in, and I know she said "understandable", but she was also clearly trying to get to the end of his stupid words to get his credit card number. I love babies of all colors and I love people of all colors. This prank is BS. I guess Jesse and Al have been off the tv for too long so somebody just invented a reason. It's crap. Sometimes I think there is a group of people out there that comes up with stuff like this just to make sure whites and blacks never come together. Well, I for one am not buying it. Stay strong with me. It's 2008 folks, get on board and let's all have a freakin (jello) shot.
Oh, and let me remind you, I am in-fact pro life . . . .
:yes:
She also said she was "excited". Didn't you catch that with the theme music playing in the background? :ermm:
GV and Volniss, you both do understand who Margaret Sanger was and what she stood for, right? She was all about using eugenics to get rid of black people in America...she also founded what we now know as Planned Parenthood.
Sanger remains a controversial figure. While she is widely credited as a leader of the modern birth control movement, and remains an iconic figure for the American reproductive rights movements, she also is reviled by some who condemn her as "an abortion advocate." Pro-life groups have frequently condemned Sanger's views, attributing her efforts to promote birth control to a desire to "purify" the human race through eugenics, and even to eliminate minority races by placing birth control clinics in minority neighborhoods.[22] For this reason, Sanger is often quoted selectively or out of context, and her history and involvement with socialism and eugenics have often been rationalized or even ignored by her defenders and biographers. Despite allegations of racism, Sanger's work with minorities earned the respect of civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr.[23] In their biographical article about Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood notes:
In 1930, Sanger opened a family planning clinic in Harlem that sought to enlist support for contraceptive use and to bring the benefits of family planning to women who were denied access to their city's health and social services. Staffed by a black physician and black social worker, the clinic was endorsed by The Amsterdam News (the powerful local newspaper), the Abyssinian Baptist Church, the Urban League, and the black community's elder statesman, W.E.B. DuBois.[24]
Although Sanger's views on abortion changed throughout the course of her life,[citation needed] in her early years she was acutely aware of the problem of abortion, typically self-induced or with the aid of a midwife. Her opposition to abortion stemmed primarily from a concern for the dangers to the mother, and less so from legal concerns or the welfare of the unborn child.[25] She wrote in a 1916 edition of Family Limitation, "no one can doubt that there are times when an abortion is justifiable," though she framed this in the context of her birth control advocacy, adding that "abortions will become unnecessary when care is taken to prevent conception. (Care is) the only cure for abortions." Sanger consistently regarded birth control and abortion as the responsibility and burden first and foremost of women, and as matters of law, medicine and public policy second.[26]
In her 1938 autobiography, Sanger notes that her 1916 opposition to abortion was based on the taking of life: "To each group we explained what contraception was; that abortion was the wrong wayno matter how early it was performed it was taking life; that contraception was the better way, the safer wayit took a little time, a little trouble, but was well worth while in the long run, because life had not yet begun."[27]
Wikipedia is not exactly a scholarly journal. And, the references were in no way biased in favor of Ms. Sanger, right?That's her legacy portion of her Wiki entry. Fact based stuff, not urban legend.

Solid reporting, GV...
Your argument is ridiculous. Simply because she also wanted to eliminate other "inferior peoples" in no way means that she did not want to eliminate black people. Heck, using your argument, I could say that the KKK does not wish to eliminate black people and that the Nazi Regime did not want to eliminate Jews.
You can try to argue semantics all you want, however, she repeatedly and blatantly intended to cleanse the black population, more than any other, in America with her "Negro Programme." I guess you give her the benefit of the doubt though and believe, that in her heart, she would not have carried that through to complete genocide if she was ever given the power. But, hey, ethnic cleansing is good in your book...kudos.
I assume you mean that she didn't cook up any diabolical plan other than her continued lobbying to the US Congress to set up a "Parliament of Population." What exactly would this parliament do? Segregate (concentration camps) and sterilize.She never cooked up some diabolic plan to rid the world of any given race.
maybe if you do a little research on your own that isn't written by a member of the NAACP.
