Visionaries,

Margaret Sanger argued for the elimination of human weeds, "for the 
cessation of charity, for the segregation of morons, misfits, and 
maladjusted," and for the sterilization of "genetically inferior races."
			From The Pivot of Civilization by Margaret Sanger

"This following is a very important point to emphasize. Like abolitionism, 
all forms of race hatred or racial vainglory are forms of rebellion against 
God. Such things are to be vigorously opposed because the Word of God 
opposes them. In brief, God has raised up all nations from one man (Acts 
17:26). We are all cousins. And not only are the races connected through 
God's creation of Adam, we are united (this time in harmony) in the 
redemption purchased by the Son of God. "You are worthy to take the scroll, 
and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by 
Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and have 
made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth" " 
(Rev. 5:9-10). We must remember that the leadership of the early church at 
Antioch contained at least one black man (Acts 13:1). And what happened to 
Miriam when she opposed the marriage of Moses to a black woman (Num. 12)? 
As Christians, we regard the gift of Pentecost to be a great reversal of 
Babel, and we believe that our missionary efforts will result in the 
elimination of racial hatreds in Christ."

I know, I know. If I were a real scholar, with a real graduate degree, I 
could probably figure out a way to make the context of these quotes reverse 
what they obviously say. But alas, my degree is from the University of 
Idaho, and I am heartily ashamed of myself. Someone else will have to fix 
all this.

Cordially,

Douglas Wilson
