Maybe she was. What percentage of white America in the late 19th century do you think wasn’t?

Well, in that sense—yes, she was.

It’s not that Margaret Sanger was some sort of shining light of belief in racial equality.

This is actually a difficult thing for me every time it comes up, because I do not care much for Ms. Sanger. Aside from her belief in reproductive rights, we do not have much in common. I think she was a horrible person in a lot of ways, although none of them were especially unique to her.

But neither was she some sort of cackling witch, preventing little black children from being born, while urging white women to have lots of babies.
