Yep, Sanger and the KKK were thicker than thieves and felt the same way about blacks.
Yet, completely unable to come up with the evidence. She worked with blacks, she gave a speech to the klan.
And if she'd spoken to the Indiana GOP Governor or General Assembly -- at that same time, she'd have been speaking to
the Klan.
"Indiana's Klan organization reached its peak of power in the following years, when it had 250,000 members, an estimated 30% of native-born white men. By 1925 over half the elected members of the
Indiana General Assembly, the
Governor of Indiana, and many other high-ranking officials in local and state government were members of the Klan. Politicians had also learned they needed Klan endorsement to win office."
Yep, the klan had a lot more influence back then, then they do now, so it's not far fetched that she would give a speech to the KKK women's auxiliary. How your post supports your argument I fail to see.
EDIT: Sorry, I thought you were Dale and your post really through me off.
Was pointing out - at that time in the country millions of people belong to the Klan (it's important to remember there were three iterations. This one was the second iteration. )
15% of the nation's eligible population at one time were KKK members. A stunning figure.
Their motto and tune was "pro-American"
and it was a "fraternal, nativist and strenuously patriotic organization."
Racist, yes,
They were also anti-immigrant, highly patriotic, very religious and nativistic.
That Sanger spoke to one woman's group,"one of the weirdest experiences I had in lecturing" - to help provide those she described as practically children in their thinking, with birth control information is not the tragic indictment some of the RWNJ's make it out to be,
