The pseudoscience of race provides both a justification of hierarchies and an enemy to rail against.

With increasing dogmatism on the far right, ideology that should have become extinct rears its ugly head. If we don't stop this, a lot of innocent people will get hurt in the end.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Washington did not fight for slavery, did not advicate for it, and infact freed all the slaves he owned. He was not a champion of slavery. Sanger viewed abortion and birth control as a means to stop the undesirables from reproducing. She championed eugenics, PP was just a side effect of her goals.
You still haven't answered my question.
Would you consider organizations that honor George Washington to be racist?
No because Washington didn't use the revolutionary war to enact slavery.
He had slaves. And that was racist regardless of his opinion on the matter. He explicitly called for the genocide of natives.
You are definitely going to need a source for that claim.
Cultural genocide:
Land theft:

- https://commonreader.wustl.edu/c/george-washingtons-dishonorable-relations-with-native-americans/
The natives quite literally called him "Town Destroyer" because he burned their homes, land, crops, and kidnapped any native around:
I must have missed where in all those sources Washington "explicitly called for the genocide of natives."
Try reading some of these things then.
What things? None of your references have Washington explicitly calling for genocide. The only ones that do mention the word genocide are opinion pieces and don't have any references of Washington calling for genocide.
