Eugenics or racial hygiene was regarded as “progressive” in it’s day, advocated and practiced by quite a few state governments, not all of which were in the south, not by a long shot. They were the self appointed do-gooders of their era, wielding the force of law to sterilize people and force abortions, for their own good of course, a very statist and leftist attitude then and now. With the utter repudiation of Nazism, which was connected and there is proof, a great deal of contact back and forth, this entire scheme had to be reconfigured for a new public face, much as ACORN morphed into less controversial organizations, but still with the same purpose and goal. Planned Parenthood is the most public face of what was once known as eugenics or racial hygiene in Margaret Sanger’s time. They’re still promoting the destruction of black people, via abortion and encouragement of rampant promiscuity, which destroys any possibility of a functional, intact family unit as well as promoting the spread of sexually transmitted disease, diseases which have been getting more virulent and more difficult to treat as time passes. There will be another STD like AIDS, debilitating, untreatable and fatal. It’s just a matter of time. Nature will do what nature will do. Behavior merely creates the pathway or vector from host to host. And, black people are in the crosshairs of this future horror, yet to be identified. By design.
(Black idiots have killed more blacks THIS YEAR than the KKK managed to do in its entire history. Where is "Black Lives matter?)
There were three “Klans”. The post civil war Klan, the post World War I Klan, and the 50s-70s Klan. The post World War I Klan billed itself as a patriotic organization protecting proper white Americans from Jews, Catholics, and negroes. That didn’t last too long because the leadership was embezzeling membership dues, and while posing a protector of the virtue of white women was helping themselves to the lady members.
