In the first half of the 20th century, the heyday of modern eugenics, America’s most notorious eugenicist, Margaret Sanger — patron saint of the left, founder of the nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, and Ku Klux Klan affiliate — devised a plan outlined in a report titled “Birth Control and the Negro” to introduce contraception to the African-American community, which she fretted “still breed[s] carelessly and disastrously.”

Via New York University (emphasis added):
In 1939 [Margaret] Sanger teamed with Mary Woodward Reinhardt, secretary of the newly formed BCFA, to secure a large donor to fund an educational campaign to teach African-American women in the South about contraception. Sanger, Reinhardt and Sanger's secretary, Florence Rose, drafted a report on "Birth Control and the Negro," skillfully using language that appealed both to eugenicists fearful of unchecked black fertility and progressives committed to shepherding African-Americans into middle-class culture. The report stated that "[N]egroes present the great problem of the South," as they are the group with "the greatest economic, health and social problems," and outlined a practical birth control program geared toward a population characterized as largely illiterate and that "still breed carelessly and disastrously," a line borrowed from a June 1932 Birth Control Review article by W.E.B. DuBois. Armed with this paper, Reinhardt initiated contact between Sanger and Albert Lasker (soon to be Reinhardt's husband), who pledged $20,000 starting in Nov. 1939. ("Birth Control and the Negro," July 1939, Lasker Papers)…
Sanger reiterated the need for black ministers to head up the project in a letter to Clarence Gamble in Dec. 1939, arguing that: "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 special plan Sanger hatched to control the “negro” “breeding” was part and parcel of her larger goal of compulsory sterilization of society’s undesirables at large: “The first step would be to control the intake and output on morons, mental defectives, epileptics,” she decreed in 1932.
What a sweet lady.

Margaret, we see, had quite the god complex, rivaled in modernity perhaps only by Anthony “I am the Science” Fauci.
Yet, even after all of the eugenic gifts that the benevolent St. Sanger bestowed upon the black community, it seems many members to this day haven’t gotten on board with the program.
Surveying the sociocultural landscape today, one can’t help but wonder what Ms. Sanger would have to say about the state of the union — after all the work she put into preventing black people, as she put it, from “breeding carelessly and disastrously.”
How would she assess, for instance, this music video that has garnered over 100,000 views on just one platform, depicting a young lady holding ultrasound photos in front of what looks very much like government-subsidized urban housing, describing in graphic detail that she doesn’t use “Plan B” contraception and instead prefers to have unprotected sex with multiple men while using the money she saved by foregoing Plan B to purchase street drugs, at which point she predictably becomes pregnant, then proceeds with seemingly no shame or introspection to write a song about it for money and clout?
