What Is The Perfect Race? Eugenicists Are Still Trying To Create That Image.

Let's push the envelope a little more. Sometimes we need to get uncomfortable and think about hard questions. This page is all about doing just that. In fact part of the answer to the question we'll pose is actually an example of why we feel uncomfortable when thinking about questions such as "What is the perfect race?"

When we don't like to think about questions we avoid them. It's easier that way. All of us can justify actions or inactions if we try hard enough, and we can even spin it to make it seem as though we are actually doing what is best for humanity with just a little creativity.

From the playbook of the original eugenicists, the question, "What is the perfect race?"  was and still is their fundamental building block.

In our page about eugenics in America we gave our readers some background on this devious method of selective population control and elitists' goal of controlling all human existence.

As we wrote in that page, the idea of what is the perfect race and how to achieve it was in full motion in the United States in the 1920's and 1930's. But those elitists who saw eugenics as a means to their desired goals had to run for cover when an evil force took their ideas and supercharged them into what would become known as "The Holocaust."

Time tends to blur memories and technological advances can both help and distract. Eugenics never went away and is back in full force. This time however, the drivers of the plan are better organized and more prepared.

What Is The Perfect Race?

Let's clear up one point. This question is not isolated to any ethnic group. Eugenics, even it's earliest stages in America wasn't about a specific race of people. This misconception is found on both sides of the debate about eugenics. We'll get into a very specific case about the poster child of eugenics in America a little farther down this page.

It's true that Hitler took the question of what is the perfect race and answered it as Aryan, with no forms of mental or physical defects.

The American and European perception of the perfect race didn't differentiate between ethnicity. It wasn't white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant, exclusively. The baseline for the perfect race, the eugenics utopia was fitness to reproduce offspring who would add value to the elitist's agenda. If said offspring would potentially be a burden, they should not be permitted.

They would not allow anyone considered to be "feeble-minded" or coming from a background of poverty to bring more children into their world. Forced sterilization was the favored method of preventing such perceived travesty to their civilization.

We saw this before and said "never again." But it's back. The elitist question, "What is the perfect race?" is still answered by ridding society of burdens.

Was Margaret Sanger A Racist?

The connection between this modern version of eugenics and one of it's earliest proponents is as complicated as the representation of the life of that early proponent, Margaret Sanger.

There isn't much doubt that she had a strong belief in the need to control the population of those deemed at the time to be "feeble-minded" or likely to contribute to the weakening of her version of the ideal human race. That would include the illiterate, and the generations living in repeating cycles of poverty.

Her most favored method of achieving this population control was in the form of birth control. She was also on board with the concept of forced sterilization of those deemed by elitists and eugenicists like her as being unfit to reproduce because they would weaken the vision of their perfect human race.

But to present a balanced portrayal of Margaret Sanger it must be written that she was misquoted on many occasions. Part of a speech she gave on "The Negro Project" in which she was fully involved along with several prominent black men at the time was taken out of context. The partial quote given without the complete thought of her statement suggested she was not only a eugenicist but also a racist.

No one in this time period knows for sure what was in her mind at that point in history. But her hours spent bringing basic health care, and by that we mean actual care for sickness and the prevention thereof, not the elective choice so prominently described as health care now, to the poorer areas of the country including black communities, suggests otherwise.

Planned Parenthood which for years touted Margaret Sanger as it's founder until cancelling her legacy, is actually one of the leading providers of what Margaret Sanger thought as more evidence of being unfit to reproduce. Her writings offer evidence that she thought anyone who was so ill-prepared as to put herself in the position of seeking abortion, should not be permitted to be in that position more than once.

Her writings would seem to suggest that she would be appalled at the number of abortions being performed every day. Certainly not out of moral outrage for the lives lost, but because of the lack of effort being put into eliminating the need for abortion. Abortion is a cash machine for Planned Parenthood.

Was she an avowed proponent of eugenics to weed out the weak, the undesirable, and the "feeble-minded" through sterilization and even through deciding who was fit to bring new life into the world? Without doubt.

Was she racist? That might be untrue. Her version of eugenics was non-discriminatory. Ethnicity wasn't the barometer. Her perception of adding value to the perfect human race was the indicator.

We Are Staring Down The Danger Of Eugenics Again

Reasonable, rational humans look at pictures of public lynching in the "Old South" and react with horror. Reasonable, rational humans look at images of "The Holocaust" in Nazi Germany and have the same reaction. Everyone should visit the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. It will be unsettling. You won't be comfortable. But like the subject of this page, we need to be uncomfortable at times. Bad things aren't corrected by shying away from doing what's required of us as accountable citizens of America.

Eugenics is alive and well and gaining traction in America, and it traces back to the same end goal. What is the perfect race? Eugenicists believe they can solve the world's problems by ridding society of all potential burdens.

Abortion is one of the most effective weapons of the modern eugenics machine. This has replaced forced sterilization. Too many people looked with horror at that system and rejected it. We haven't reached that point even when seeing images of millions of innocent living humans being killed with government approval every year in our nation.

Their message has evolved from one of denying the humanity, even though junior high science taught us that if conceived by two humans, the offspring cannot be a squirrel or a tree-it must be a human, to a modern, effective stance of saving a sick child from a miserable existence or the child born in poverty from living a disadvantaged life. Adding in the whole burden to society argument still works well.

It has become palatable to justify killing an innocent unborn human if he or she may be physically impaired or born with certain mental deficiencies. "We are saving them from a difficult life." The eugenicists package wholesale death in a more acceptable, sanitized manner. But the truth is that abortion is a violent end to an innocent life.

"What is the perfect race?"  Is it one with only "perfect" offspring, one that is able to legally cleanse itself of all deformed, or burdensome members of society? Is it one that can rid itself of undesirable elements all under the guise of strengthening the human race by eliminating the weak and unproductive?

When killing the most vulnerable, regardless of age becomes not only legal, but embraced as noble, it becomes a flashing red reminder light of a time when rational, reasonable people said "never again."

But here we are again. Be careful about falling for the self-serving pretense from promoters of this perfect race. They might change the rules to "purify" even further.

The answer is right in front of us. There is no perfect race. There can't be because we are human and all humans are imperfect. But we can look in the mirror and see how we can be better every day. We can use our voice and our vote to defend all living innocent humans. 

We get a little closer to perfect when we look to make things better for everyone. We'll never make it all the way, but we can get closer.
