In 1926, Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was a guest speaker at a KKK rally in Silverlake, New Jersey. Here is Sanger's account of her trip to talk to the Ku Klux Klan from her autobiography. All text and images form Fair Use. Text reads as follows: "...I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan at Silver Lake, New Jersey, one of the weirdest experiences I had in lecturing. My letter of instruction told me what train to take, to walk from the station two blocks straight ahead, then two to the left. I would see a sedan parked in front of a restaurant. If I wished I could have ten minutes for a cup of coffee or bite to eat, because no supper would be served later. I obeyed orders implicitly, walked the blocks, saw the car, found the restaurant, went in and ordered some cocoa, stayed my allotted ten minutes, then approached the car hesitatingly and spoke to the driver. I received no reply. She might have been totally deaf as far as I was 1 concerned. Mustering up my courage, I climbed in and settled back. Without a turn of the head, a smile, or a word to let me know I was right, she stepped on the self-starter. For fifteen minutes we wound around the streets. It must have been towards six in the afternoon. We took this lonely lane and that through the woods, and an hour later pulled up in a vacant space near a body of water beside a large, unpainted, barnish building. My driver got out, talked with several other women, then said to me severely, "Wait here. We will come for you." She disappeared. More cars buzzed up the dusty road into the parking place. Occasionally men dropped wives who walked hurriedly and silently within. This went on mystically until night closed down and I was alone in the dark. A few gleams came through chinks in the window curtains. Even though it was May, I grew chillier and chillier. After three hours I was summoned at last and entered a bright corridor filled with wraps. As someone came out of the hall I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses. I waited another twenty minutes. It was warmer and I did not mind so much. Eventually the lights were switched on, the audience seated itself, and I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak. Never before had I looked into a sea of faces like these. I was sure that if I uttered one word, such as abortion, outside the usual vocabulary of these women they would go off into hysteria. And so my address that night had to be in the most elementary terms, as though I were trying to make children understand. In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered. The conversation went on and on, and when we were finally through it was too late to return to New York. Under a curfew law everything in Silver Lake shut at nine o'clock. I could not even send a telegram to let my family know whether I had been thrown in the river or was being held incommunicado. It was nearly one before I reached Trenton, and I spent the night in a hotel."

  • @cjs33139 What’s with the ummm?

    Got something in your mouth? Maybe that’s indicative of the type of “man” you are.

    If you are a man, you’ve been thoroughly brainwashed by feminist pigs.

    Females deserve equal pay for equal work, not equal pay because they are female. Everyone deserves to be safe from rape and torture, not just females. Domestic violence is perpetrated against men just as often as it is against females.

    Men are the persecuted ones in our society, not females.

  • @KevinMerck Ummm, feminism does not have to equate with abortion anymore than Christianity has to be equated with homophobia and lynching of blacks/segregation. More and more feminists are now seeing that abortion is not a good thing for women. As a man, I agree that women need equal pay, protection from rapists, sexual harassment, domestic violence, etc. If you don't, then you are a brute. Without feminism, women wouldn't be allowed to vote and your mother would have been property.

  • @yellowkrux gotta love the birdbrains lol

  • @K131399 Yawn, I should have clarified, racist idiots. Seriously, you think the eugenicist whom thought teaching people about contraception would lead to idiots breeding less, giving a lecture on contraception to the WKKK, whom she did state she thought were idiots is a bad thing? Or is it you just want to try to get stupid people to sympathize with your position by playing on racial tensions?

    PS

    Learn2english, I can't even read what you typed.

  • the kkk was lynching people into the 1950's. i think its almost unbelievable that people would/could defend anyone that not only wouldnt condemn them, but legitimized them by giving a public speech. it would be funny if it wasnt so sad. how would you view margaret sanger in 1926 if you were black??? funny, and i thought the left "felt the pain" of blacks. seems kind of evil and demented to me.

  • @yellowkrux lol. dispute some of the facts. i know that conflicts with im assuming your usual way of repeating things without actually knowing what you're talking about lol.

  • @SuperBlackWoman1 are you fuckin' serious? SuperBlackWoman1, more like SuperBlackFool, SuperBlackCoon, SuperBlackNegro, SuperBlackSlave or SuperBlackWhiteman'sWhore. Don't ever write to me again.

  • @K131399 It's a retarded piece of propaganda ment to gert stupid people to support a position based on an emotional response to false information.

  • Feminists adamantly refuse to denounce this racist psychopath.

    They’ve spent a lot of time and money promoting monsters like Sanger believing that no one would ever be the wiser.

    Modern-day, feminists pigs, would rather attempt to rewrite history, and redefine what it is to be a racist psychopath, than to face the reality that Margaret Sanger was a racist pig who literally wanted to exterminate the “Negro race”

    Feminism = Nazism

  • Fuck Kissinger, fuck Sanger, fuck eugenicists, fuck y'all if you doubt me!
