Seattle-based Planned Parenthood affiliate ousts CEO

SEATTLE (AP) — The CEO of a Seattle-based affiliate of Planned Parenthood has been removed from her position after controversy following a donor’s use of a racist term in a meeting.

Chris Charbonneau was ousted last week as head of Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky, the Seattle Times reported. The organization said a donor used a racist term to refer to Black people this fall and Charbonneau repeated the word while discussing the meeting with another staffer.

Charbonneau and the board have differing accounts of how she reacted to the donor’s use of the word, which the former CEO said was in the context of comparing the treatment of women impacted by abortion restrictions to the mistreatment of Black people.

Board members Jeff Sprung and Colleen Foster said in an email to the newspaper an investigation found Charbonneau did not admonish the donor.

Charbonneau, who is white, said she was upset by the use of the racist term and told the donor, also white, the word shouldn’t have been used.

Covid jabs have reduced the abortion industry walk in business greatly. I expect lots if infighting within the organization as they are fighting for scraps. Ms.Director’s Lamorghini needs some service.

My great-grandparents (father’s father’s parents) use the word “negro”. They were born in the 1870s (and lived to the 1970s, they were well into their 90s when I was a kid). My cousins were very uncomfortable with that word. To them, offensive. But it was just the language of that generation from that long gone era. I was just a kid of 10 or so at that time and the whole race thing was above my head.

Planned Parenthood had an issue with a racist term? The entire organization is a racist enterprise with the goal of killing black children.

“Great Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky”

Just does not make sense

But then I have always been geographically challenged
