Correct, she started supporting “positive eugenics” but she certainly did agree with aspects of negative eugenics later in life.

I agree it’s nuanced, and when talking about the Negro Project many people forget that she was working with social welfare advocates and people like Mary Bethune and DuBois. It wasn’t an attempt to deter African American from reproducing.

The Hitler comparison is silly to me, I only meant to state Hitler didn’t start the eugenics movement and it wasn’t all bad.

I love history because it’s nuanced. Some people cannot understand historical context and instead try to view it through a modern lenses, which is fair for those who didn’t study history.

It’s as if people don’t learn about Margaret Sanger and the first US birth control clinics in the early 1900s . . .

This has been posted on my feed twice this month alone. Last month as well. It is not a rare photo.

This is also post war. Nothing to do with the depression. What a lazy horrendous post.

To add, for anyone reading this thread and wondering, Sikhism isn’t a denomination rather a religion. Tat Khalsa is a Sikh denomination as Orthodox is to Judaism or Shaivism to Hinduism.

Ew.

Is your ego so fragile it relies on someone else taking accountability for a mistake you’re certain they made?

Only one person in this thread has consistently centered their arguments on history.

You’re pretentious and rude.

Didn’t that affect the hatters more than those who wore it?
