You’ve heard of the whipped-up controversy. A Starbucks manager evicted two non-customers. They happened to be black. It led to a national uproar. A new policy opening Starbucks restrooms to everyone. And a national day-long closure of Starbucks stores for “sensitivity training.”

You know what this fracas didn’t do? It didn’t stop Starbucks from supporting America’s most prominent racist group, Planned Parenthood. Thus the message of an open letter published by civil rights leader Alveda King and other pro-life activists and groups. They wrote:

As men and women who fight for the value and dignity of every human life, we ask: Where is the “humanity” and “inclusion” when your company matches employees’ donations to Planned Parenthood, whose founder Margaret Sanger was an outspoken racist with genocidal intentions?

This week, Starbucks is holding “racial-bias education” training for nearly 175,000 employees nationwide.

If you think this public relations fix means Starbucks is no longer complicit in racism, it’s time to wake up and smell your own coffee.

Active with the Ku Klux Klan and the eugenics movement, Margaret Sanger’s stated agenda was to eradicate the African American population. Her dream is being realized by the slaughter of minority children today through the horror of abortion.

With every donation your company gives to Planned Parenthood, the largest single provider of abortions in the United States performing over 300,000 per year, Starbucks is contributing to one of the most racist organizations in our nation’s history.

Abortion mills like Planned Parenthood didn’t become prevalent in the lives of pregnant African-American women by happenstance. Planned Parenthood’s business model was specifically engineered to target them.

Would You Like Some Eugenics in that Latte?

In an op-ed for The Washington Examiner, King (the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.) confronted Starbucks.

More African-Americans have died from abortion than from AIDS, accidents, violent crimes, cancer, and heart disease — combined. In America today, a black child is three times more likely to be killed in the womb than a white child. And since 1973, abortion has reduced the black population by more than 25 percent.

Planned Parenthood operates the nation’s largest chain of abortion facilities, and almost 80 percent of its facilities are located in minority neighborhoods. About 13 percent of American women are black, but they have more than 35 percent of the abortions.

End the Silence

Co-signer of the open letter, L. Brent Bozell, III, of the group For America talked to The Stream.

Really, more conservatives should be openly discussing Planned Parenthood’s racist founder Margaret Sanger. The vast majority of Americans don’t know the truth. Every Republican pro-life leader should vote against funding of Planned Parenthood. And point directly to Margaret Sanger as the reason. Any organization who claims they’re pro-life should be talking about Planned Parenthood’s history of racism. It’s the clarion call. Talk about it.

A Racist, Elitist Conspiracy

The Stream has already reported on Margaret Sanger and the racist eugenics movement. As we wrote:

The birth control movement and the eugenics movement were the same movement. … Margaret Sanger twice tried to merge her organization with major eugenics groups.

We noted that Sanger invited as a speaker to one of her conferences a German eugenicist, Eugen Fischer. He was famous for having run a concentration camp. That happened in German-ruled Southwest Africa. There he “murdered, starved and experimented on helpless native Africans. Fischer’s book on eugenics, which Hitler had read in prison … convinced Hitler of its central importance.”
