Your George Washington straw man misses the mark, he didn't fight for slaves. It's more like beatifying General Lee, slave owner and general for the confederacy. I would say people that support General Lee are racists.

I don't have to prove PP publicly approved of Sanger's eugenics. They knew about her past, celebrated her and tried to down play her racists ramblings up until 3 years ago. Their current statement on her should have happened 40 years ago.

BLM was not a militant organization, they were more the rioting and fraud group.

Weather underground, BLA, black Panthers, SLA, were responsible for 2,500 bombings in the US, they filled the void the klan left. Antifa, animal liberation brigade, black riders liberation party, ... fill the current void.

It wasn't just a plaque on some wall they were removing, 2020 is when they finally denounced her.

She was their founder and it took until 2020 for them to renounce her.

PP finally removed Sanger's name from Manhattan Health Center in 2020.

“The removal of Margaret Sanger’s name from our building is both a necessary and overdue step to reckon with our legacy and acknowledge Planned Parenthood’s contributions to historical reproductive harm within communities of color,” said Karen Seltzer, the chair of PPGNY’s board. “Margaret Sanger’s concerns and advocacy for reproductive health have been clearly documented, but so too has her racist legacy.”

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.

PP denied and justified Sanger's ideas up until 3 years ago before that she was just allaying with the eugenics movement to further her goals.

Convincing undesirables that they shouldn't have children sure seems to align with PP's values. It seems PP just broadened their views to the "poors" and not just raced based.

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.

Steve's big computer innovation was fanless design. Apple had to design custom power supplies with custom voltages and custom motherboards. Then the power supplies started overheating and failing after a couple years the replacement power supply was 500 when a normal power supply was 100.
