African American Journalist Knows What Margaret Sanger Said at Ku Klux Klan Rally

Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger admits in her autobiography that she was frequently invited to speak at Ku Klux Klan rallies and she even gives a detailed account of the burning crosses and surreal scene at one such speech, and goes on to mention how well received her speech was by the KKK:

Margaret Sanger wrote about her Ku Klux Klan speech in her autobiography, “I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan…I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses…I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak…In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered. (Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366)

We have never been able to uncover what specifically Sanger said at these KKK rallies but her history of racist and bigoted statements has led to much speculation.  See for example:

Now, however, a highly respected journalist, Lucky Rosenbloom, thinks he knows exactly what made Margaret Sanger a superstar "must have" speaker on the Ku Klux Klan rally circuit:

 

 “What do you suppose Margaret Sanger was talking about that made her so appealing to the KKK? I believe she was talking about killing 14 million Black babies. I suppose she was telling them of a way to kill four thousand “Ns” in four weeks using eugenics and abortions outdoing the number of “Ns” they lynched in 86 years…Planned KillerHood was targeted by Civil Rights Movement activists in the 1960s and ‘70s for its involvement in a ”Black genocide.” Since 1973, legalized abortion has been specifically aimed at the African American population and has killed more Black people than cancer, diabetes, heart disease and gang violence combined…This is a sad day for Black America. We are killing ourselves using the most racist, legalized tools today: abortions.” ~ Black Journalist Lucky Rosenbloom
