“The actor spoke with Autumn Kersey, vice president of development and marketing at PPI, and said he wanted his donation to be used for "underprivileged minority groups." The caller went on to say, "I really face trouble with affirmative action, and I don't want my kids being disadvantaged, you know, against black kids" (Call transcript, 3/20). Kersey said it was the "first time" a donor had made "this kind of request" but added that she was "excited" to receive the donation.”(Planned Parenthood Of Idaho Apologizes After Employee Agrees To Accept Racially Motivated Donation © 2007 The Advisory Board Company.

Now I don’t really believe that Planned Parenthood is racist. Although…black abortions do make up a disproportionate amount of the total abortions in the US and clinics are more common in poorer neighborhoods. And it is totally in line with the beliefs of Planned Parenthood's founders. Margaret Sanger was one of Planned Parenthood’s founders. It was part of Margaret Sanger’s vision to use abortions and birth control to practice eugenics through which the “unfit,” especially blacks, would fail to reproduce and their genes would die out. Read some of Margaret’s own words:

"The undeniably feeble-minded should, indeed, not only be discouraged but prevented from propagating their kind." ⁽Sanger, quoted in Charles Valenza: "Was Margaret Sanger a Racist?" Family Planning Perspectives, January-February 1985, page 44.)

Who were the feeble minded? Sanger has an answer.

“It is said that a fish as large as a man has a brain no larger than the kernel of an almond. In all fish and reptiles where there is no great brain development, there is also no conscious sexual control. The lower down in the scale of human development we go the less sexual control we find. It is said that the aboriginal Australian, the lowest known species of the human family, just a step higher than the chimpanzee in brain development, has so little sexual control that police authority alone prevents him from obtaining sexual satisfaction on the streets.” (Sanger, "What Every Girl Should Know", 1920, p. 47)

Granted this was nearly ninety years ago, some of these faulty beliefs were more common than they are today. But the important thing is that Sanger expressed ideas that are still present on the political left.

1. We know better than others what is good for them.
2. It is often better to die, than to be born in a poor neighborhood.
3. The lives and posterity of educated individuals are more valuable than those of poor, uneducated people.
4. It is better to promote abortion, than to allow the births of babies with statistically high chances of becoming criminals.
5. The decrease in crime justifies the increase in abortions.
6. A human’s life value varies depending on how much a mother wants that human life to continue.
7. A woman can get pregnant and abort the pregnancy on demand.
8. A woman should not have to feel guilty about killing her unborn child. She should even feel good.

Some people reading this may have no problem with the things on this list. I just wanted to point out that this line of thinking, even if not racist, is shared by leftists today as it was by racist eugenics proponents of the last century.
