What the Constitution prohibits is the government being racial in any of its actions which has been taken to interesting and far ranging extents. I was not aware of the origins of PP or Sanger. Thanks for the info. an important distinction about your comment, mansquatch. we all individually have the constitutional right to hold opinions about other races, or as one law professor put it, the right to be a jerk.

Even though it is stupid and wrong, being racist is protected by the constitution (which brings up a whole new topic in regards to what happens when large groups of individuals are racist). The real problem I have is the fact that she wanted to rid the world of black people and actually took action towards that end. The taking of life is the most blatant violation of our rights and to do it for purposes of genocide makes it seem that much more the act of a dastard. To this day (or at least to around Feb, 2008) planned parenthood will allow you to specify donations to go towards killing black babies.

I believe that Sanger's words and actions could be considered heinous, by today's standards. In her time, eugenics was in vogue, even many of the religiously devout were for it. Racism was also a norm. It was assumed by colonialists and Western society in general that Africans were inferior to white and other racists. Even Ghandi was racist towards blacks, at his time, when he lived in South Africa. Of course, I am sure that is covered in the DVD. Where did you find it? You are speaking of a different time.
