Margaret Sanger, founder of planned parent hood, was a racists and huge supporter of eugenics, she even spoke at Klan meetings. In 1939 she started "The Negro Project", a plan to target black communities. Here are some of her quotes.
We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population..." -- Letter to Dr. Clarence J. Gamble, December 10, 1939, p. 2
“Apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.”- from “My Way to Peace,” Jan. 17, 1932. Margaret Sanger Papers, Library of Congress 130:198.
"Permits for parenthood shall be issued upon application by city, county, or state authorities to married couples, providing they are financially able to support the expected child, have the qualifications needed for proper rearing of the child, have no transmissible diseases, and, on the woman’s part, no medical indication that maternity is likely to result in death or permanent injury to health." -- Margaret Sanger, "America Needs a Code for Babies," Article 5, March 27, 1934.
“Birth control itself, often denounced as a violation of natural law, is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives or of those who will become defectives… If we are to make racial progress, this development of womanhood must precede motherhood in every individual woman.” — “Woman and the New Race,” 1920
Not really relevant but modern femist values are agnostic to racial segregation.
Sanger's style of eugenics is compatible with PP's modern values, convincing the undesirables the best option for them is not to reproduce. Forced eugenics was not Sanger's style she was a coerced eugenics kind of gal.
Up until 3 or 4 years ago Sanger was still beatified inside PP. Her actions and message was downplayed and justified.
Feminists may be opposed to racial segregation, like most people, but it's not a value of feminism. Equality of the sexes has nothing to do with race.
It absolutely does. Women of color as significantly worse off in a multitude of ways than white women. There is absolutely an effect of race on the treatment of women. So equality of sex is absolutely related to race.
On top of that, it is strategically better to ally yourself with people who you share common cause, which in this case is equality.
