watching tumblr try to talk about 4chan can be weird just bc they don’t really get how conversation and humor works there, but watching 4chan try to talk about tumblr is bizarre, bc they’ve constructed an elaborate parallel fantasy tumblr where all we do is draw their anime waifus fat with hairy legs and talk about cis scum and cultural appropriation. and they spend so much of their lives being mad about this imaginary place they’ve invented
watching current 4chan users talk about 4chan itself is also pretty wild because they really do think it’s the most intellectual place on the internet even tho 90% of threads devolve into arguments about nothing and they make remarkably little original content worth documenting
both sites have a healthy concept of reddit’s shitty community and interface tho
All of you out there supporting planned parenthood should really remember what the woman who founded them said…. just saying. Do not stand with PP
Oh wow, you guys are still trying desperately trying to paint Sanger as a racist huh? Okay, if you’re gonna flat out lie like this you can at least try not to be lazy about it.
You’ve given no context to this quote and conveniently left of the first half of it. The sentence in it’s entirety is “
“We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.”
I know you manipulated it that way because you wanted to make Sanger seem as evil as possible, and also because literally the only thing pro lifers know how to do is lie, but admittedly the full sentence by itself looks damning enough. I think you know this, which is why you provided no context. If you had, your entire argument would have fallen apart. Here are Sangers words with context;
“It seems to me from my experience where I have been in
North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas, that while the colored
Negroes have great respect for white doctors they can get closer to
their own members and more or less lay their cards on the table which
means their ignorance, superstitions and doubts. They do not do this
with the white people and if we can train the Negro doctor at the Clinic
he can go among them with enthusiasm and with knowledge, which, I
believe, will have far-reaching results among the colored people. His
work in my opinion should be entirely with the Negro profession and the
nurses, hospital, social workers, as well as the County’s white doctors.
His success will depend upon his personality and his training by us.
The minister’s work is also important and also he should be trained,
perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to
reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the
Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that
idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”
The article I linked goes into better detail about Sanger, the so called “Negro project”, and the lies spread about her by the pro life movement. I encourage you to read it the next time you feel like spreading lazy, manipulative propaganda bullshit like this.
TL;DR: The full quote states that Planned Parenthood wanted to hire Black doctors in order to make their Black patients feel safer and respected. It also states that Planned Parenthood wanted to work with Black ministers, and encourage the ministers to tell others that Planned Parenthood was a safe clinic for Black patients.
In other words, she didn’t want this exact lie to start circulating
Reblogging not just to spread this out there but so that I have it on hand the next time someone tries to feed me this crap, I can provide them the facts.
Had a couple sickly days. Catching up WIPs tomorrow. I hate to ask while I still have 3 in the queue, but if anyone wants a 25$ portrait please email me at shanemercerart@gmail.com 🙂
