Was Margaret an advocate for the KKK or not?

[@historyforhumans905]

No. She presented about birth control to the KKK and felt pretty awkward about it. She was a eugenists but that was shockingly popular for liberals (which she was) and conservatives at the time.
She was allies with many of the major civil rights leaders in America including King and DuBois. Definitely not an advocate for the KKK. They hated her.

@@historyforhumans905 oh how silly of me! So her giving a speech in Silver Lake, New Jersey for the women’s division of the KKK where she called them “An aroused group and a good group,” is a lie? (This info was in a book describing her 1938 autobiography.) 😗

@@boflynn7289 what gags me the most about white male conservatives is that they love to bring up the fact that Margaret Sanger was a racist and eugenicists as if y'all really care about black people and you don't that shit is so annoying

@@boflynn7289 what do you actually think you're doing by providing us with this well-known information? What does it do for you? Are you now going to advocate for the reproductive Rights of black women?

She was actually anti-fascist and had a cordial relationship with the Communist Party. Originally she was a member of the Socialist Party and IWW.
