You're a Moon Bat! The KKK women's group really hated Sanger and Roosevelt for their mission to introduce family planning to all people--including Blacks.

The issue of Lynching Blacks was so strongly tied into states rights in the south, Roosevelt had to back burner any overt support for the anti~lynching bill or lose the southern votes in the next election. And where did we find some of the most staunch oppostion to this cruel practice?

In brumar's state of Texas of course where this Methodist congressman fought against it for 17terms, can you imagine?

Hatton W. Sumners of Texas opposed anti-lynching laws during his 17 terms in the
House of Representatives, arguing that the individual states could handle the
problem of mob violence against African Americans.
