You might want to
fact check your opinion of what Sanger thought about black people and what was her opinion of the Nazi movement. She believed in eugenics, but she did not believe black people were inferior. She strongly spoke out for improving the well being of the black community, which someone who wanted to eliminate them would not.
The Public Papers of Margaret Sanger: Web Edition
"It has been argued occasionally that Negros do not need birth control. What is needed, it is said, are better living conditions, better working conditions, more medical services, improved diets and schools. Of course they are and by dint of the efforts of all those who believe in justice, these will be achieved.
But in the meantime, in the immediate here and now, Negro parents need birth control to help alleviate some of the needless suffering and heartbreak, to get firmly established on the road to health and better living. Even if the Negros lived in Utopia the need to plan their families would still be an urgent health and social measure."
And to her credit she worked to establish clinics to help families be able to plan when to become parents in both rich and poor neighborhoods, white and black. Someone has badly misinformed you about Sanger, very badly.
