Is Melinda Gates A Racist?

And if not, what's the difference between her (and those who agree with her birth control agenda) and someone who is a racist?

Here's the issue. The world has too many people. Right?

That's what we hear.

That's what we're told.

That's what Melinda Gates says.

There aren't enough resources on this planet for those of us in developed nations to continue living in absolute unmitigated luxury. Since we don't want to share with the poor from the extreme surplus of what we have, the next best solution, according to secular wisdom is:

Someone has to die.

Babies have to be killed.

Others must stop having children.

Life must be prevented from happening.

But not just any life.

It's people with black skin who must be prevented. Those whose skin is dark must be told to stop creating children.

Since a listener says I'm someone who is blinded by faith and ignorance, let's hear it directly from the founder of Planned Parenthood:

"We should hire three or four coloured ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the 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." Margaret Sanger's letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton, Massachusetts. Original source: Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, North Hampton, Massachusetts. Also described in Linda Gordon's Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America. New York: Grossman Publishers, 1976.

"Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need. We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock." Margaret Sanger, Birth Control Review.

"Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race." Margaret Sanger. Woman, Morality, and Birth Control. New York: New York Publishing Company.

"Eugenics is the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems. Margaret Sanger. "The Eugenic Value of Birth Control." Birth Control Review

Too bad these two women lived so far apart in time. Sounds like they would have gotten along marvellously.

I may be wrong, but it seems that according to Ms. Gates, it's those who look different than the dominant white race that must be prevented from having a family. It's we of the white race, the race that has consumed and often wasted most of the world's resources that want to keep “those other people” from reproducing.

All in the name of doing good – of course. It does cause one to wonder, If a Boy Scout helps an old lady across the street even when she doesn't want to cross the street, is he still doing a good deed? 


I use the Boy Scout analogy because guess what? Those other people don't agree with Ms. Gates. You don't hear claims of overpopulation from those living in the most densely populated parts of the earth. People in China are actually fighting to have more children.

Yet to Melinda the problem is simple to diagnose, and its solution is simple to carry out.

Problem: There's getting to be too many black people using the stuff that we want.

Solution: Limit or reduce the number of black people who exist.

It's the richest of us (and Gates is at the top of that heap) who want to limit the number of those living in countries that we in North America and Europe have traditionally exploited; those in the poorest and most populous nations. It's those of us who use the most resources, practically stolen from the poorest countries, the non white countries, who complain that there are too many of them. Once we've stripped them of material wealth, it's just a small step to tell them they're having too many children.

We're actually helping them. Right, Melinda?
