NPR has done a "fact check" on the claim that Margaret Sanger was a racist. Their conclusion was : No, not really.

But in their so called "Fact Check" they left out several quotes that would have informed the debate. This is a deliberate attempt by NPR to "frame" the issue and it's a breech of journalistic ethics to not report these quotes. Wouldn't want the audience to see the real Margaret Sanger.

"We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population," she said, Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America, by Linda Gordon

"I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan...I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses...I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak...In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered." (Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366)

The government should not be in the news business. Defund NPR.

Not a very complete look at Margaret was it? Here is what their own ethics book says:

NPR Ethics Handbook

Completeness

We do our best to report thoroughly and tell stories comprehensively. We won’t always have enough time or space in one story to say everything we would like or quote everyone we would wish to include. But errors of omission and partial truths can inflict great damage on our credibility, and stories delivered without the context to fully understand them are incomplete...

If Carson is right, who gets sued out of existence, Planned Parenthood? The United States?? Both???

Reparations? What happens here?

But, Reverby added, Sanger’s main argument was not eugenics — it was that “Sanger thought people should have the children they wanted.”


Sanger thought people should have.the children that *society* wanted. Blacks were not the only people’s on that list of the unwanted or lesser-wanted.

NPR trying to obfuscate for the eugenist Margaret Sanger and their practice. Too easy to look up to see otherwise.

(Ben Carson) "was also in the news this week after reports surfaced that he once used aborted fetal tissue for research".

More journalistic misdirection/malpractice/lies. Carson is already on the record saying these allegations are false. The left sure is comfortable speaking in the devil's tongue.

NPR has provided a significant opportunity to Carson...blow it up, Dr. C.

Of course....they won’t apologize for doing “good journalism”, will they?

NPR is going to be sorry they entered this fray. They're so used to believing their own autofellatory propaganda that all conservatives are mouth breathing rednecks who consider 8th grade higher education...they'll never know what hit them.

I'm almost tempted to enter the arena on this myself; but will hold back for now.

Sanger wrote about wanting to get rid of the negro, so I don’t know how NPR tries to cover this up.
Granted NPR is government and they love abortions and that could be it.

I hope Ben Carson keeps mentioning this because this is making some of those liberal cockroaches nervous.

I think NPR attacks Dr. Carson at their own risk, he is not the first black person I’ve ever heard make this charge.

The very fact that NPR is addressing (lying) this issue is proof enough that the facts of PP and black genocide are too big to ignore.

NPR can spin this all they want. But PP is a racist organization.

60% of PP are located in White neighborhood?

So why are there a disproportionate number, 40%, located in black neiborhoods?

“IF” Carson is right?
Do some homework. I’d start here:
http://www.blackgenocide.org/sanger.html

Sanger made it CLEAR she considered the black race to be inferior, like weeds, laid out a plan to co-opt black pastors to give cover to her organization, and to kill as many unborn black babies as possible.

NPR is simply doing what Mooch-hell Obeyme said about “we’re going to have to change our history” just a few years back. It’s called “revisionism” and it’s what the left does best with history.

Margaret Sanger is to blacks what Hitler was to Jews. It’s taken several decades LONGER but her methods have been nearly ten times as effective.

Hitler credited Sanger as the inspiration for his Eugenics program.
