Planned Parenthood is a true racist organization and always has been. More and more people are learning about “The Negro Project,” much to Planned Parenthood’s disappointment. If you haven’t heard about this yet, get ready to have your mind blown. It is still hard to imagine this really happening in America, but Planned Parenthood’s dark past must be understood to see this great evil for what it truly is.
The Eugenic Roots of the Negro Project
The Negro Project was conceived in 1939 by Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, with the stated goal of promoting birth control in the Black community. However, the real agenda was far more sinister. Sanger, a well-known eugenicist, believed in controlling the population of those she deemed “unfit.” Her writings and speeches are riddled with disturbing references to racial purification and the need to “weed out” undesirable populations (Sanger, 1922, “The Pivot of Civilization”) [1].
In her own words, Sanger stated, “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population” (Sanger, 1939, letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble) [2]. Her correspondence with Dr. Clarence Gamble, another eugenics advocate, reveals the underlying motive of the Negro Project was not merely birth control, but population control aimed at the Black community (Gamble, 1939, letter to Sanger) [3].
Angela Davis’s Indictment of the Negro Project
Angela Davis was one of the most radical voices of the twentieth century. A Marxist, Communist, and feminist scholar, she became infamous in the 1960s and 70s for her ties to the Black Panther Party and the Communist Party USA. Davis spent her life fighting for prison abolition, defunding the police, and the dismantling of what she called the prison-industrial complex. She has been a guiding inspiration for the founders of Black Lives Matter, especially Patrisse Cullors, who credited Davis with shaping her vision for the movement. Few figures in modern history have been more outspoken against Christianity, capitalism, and conservative values.
That is why it is so ironic that Davis herself denounced the Negro Project as racist population control. She was supposed to be on Planned Parenthood’s side. She fought for abortion rights as part of her feminist activism, yet in her book Women, Race, and Class, Davis highlighted how Sanger’s initiative was less about empowering Black women and more about enforcing eugenics under the guise of health care (Davis, 1981) [4]. Davis argued that the project was an insidious attempt to control the reproduction of Black Americans, thus serving the broader goals of the eugenics movement to maintain white supremacy [5]. When even a Marxist revolutionary whose spiritual protégés built Black Lives Matter admits that Planned Parenthood’s roots were poisoned with racism, the mask is torn off completely.
Manipulating Black Leaders
To make the project more palatable, Sanger and her colleagues enlisted the support of prominent Black leaders, including ministers and community leaders. These leaders were often unaware of the project’s true objectives and were manipulated into endorsing and promoting birth control to their congregations and communities (Chesler, 1992, “Woman of Valor: Margaret Sanger and the Birth Control Movement in America”) [6]. Sanger understood that the success of the Negro Project hinged on convincing Black Americans that birth control was in their best interest, masking the true intent of reducing their population [7]. In fact, while the liberal establishment makes finding this history almost impossible, we know that one negro project director said “There is a great danger that we will fail because the negroes think that this is a plan for their extermination. Hence, let’s appear to let the colored run it.”
Devastating Impact on Black Communities
The impact of the Negro Project on Black communities has been profound and lasting. The project set a precedent for the targeted placement of birth control clinics in Black neighborhoods, a practice that continues to this day (Guttmacher Institute, 2014) [8]. This has contributed to disproportionately high rates of abortion among Black women, leading to significant demographic and societal consequences (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2019) [9].
In New York City, for example, more Black babies are aborted than are born alive (NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, 2015) [10]. This is not a coincidence but a direct result of policies and practices rooted in the eugenic ideologies that gave birth to the Negro Project. Planned Parenthood has strategically placed 79% of its surgical abortion facilities within walking distance of African American or Hispanic/Latino neighborhoods (Protecting Black Life, 2012) [11].
Conclusion
Even though Planned Parenthood wants to bury and whitewash this part of their history, the blood of innocent millions is on their hands. And their guilt does not stop in America. One of Sanger’s founding board members, Lothrop Stoddard, was a white supremacist whose writings praised the Ku Klux Klan and influenced Nazi racial policy. He even met with Adolf Hitler and described Germany as a model of “practical eugenics.” The very spirit behind the Negro Project helped inspire the ideology that led to the Holocaust. Understanding this history is crucial for an honest reckoning with Planned Parenthood’s past and the urgent need to repudiate its existence to this day.
