Planned Parenthood charged with racism
L.A. employees say white women created hostile environment
August 19, 2004
Several black and Hispanic male employees of Planned Parenthood of Los
Angeles have filed multiple complaints of racism against the organization,
charging they were the subject of constant slurs in a hostile, anti-male
environment controlled by white women.
The employees made the allegations in sworn affidavits filed with
California's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or EEOC, and Fair
Employment & Housing Administration, or FEHA.
According to an EEOC affidavit filed by employee Nnamdi Nkwuda, a member of
Planned Parenthood's management "used the word nigger directed to me."
"I am African and was shocked by her cultural insensitivity," Nkwuda stated.
"I immediately placed my concerns in writing and requested disciplinary
action with the human resources department at PPLA. Nothing ever happened to
my complaint. In fact, I was later put on probation by a female supervisor
and then terminated. ... There appeared to be a damaging anti-male bias in
the organization."
PPLA spokeswoman Laura Morgan did not immediately respond to WND's request
for a response to the charges.
Richard D. Ackerman, lead attorney for two of the claimants, said it's
"unfortunate to find out that PPLA, as a chief promoter of 'tolerance and
diversity' is engaging in what appears to be a most primitive form of hate
against its own employees."
"We will be imploring the ACLU and NAACP to join us in repairing this awful
situation," said Ackerman, who works with the Sacramento-based Pro-Family
Law Center.
A female PPLA contractor, responsible for ensuring the organization complies
with regulations, said in a sworn statement a corporate officer "initiated
an investigation on the occasion of one of his employees being called a
'nigger' and he was prevented from finishing this investigation. The
perpetrator of this ethnic slur ... was never punished for this action."
Another sworn statement from the female PPLA contractor, whose name was
withheld, said Planned Parenthood "posters showing males as irresponsible
are prominently displayed throughout headquarters; one shows an African
American leaving his child abandoned in the middle of an apartment; another
shows all male US Supreme Court justices beating down on women's rights ...
."
She said the organization also had postings criticizing President Bush and
denouncing Rev. Jerry Falwell even though Planned Parenthood is a nonprofit
organization legally required to avoid political activity.
Another female employee, reacting to knowledge of racism at Planned
Parenthood, said, under oath, "There was a sense that any employee who was
not a white female was going to be carefully watched."
"I am an African-American who witnessed and experienced it," she said. " ...
It upset me because if they allowed her to call him one, they were probably
calling all of the African-American[s] nigger too."
The employee also corroborated the claim that Planned Parenthood prominently
displayed anti-male propaganda throughout the office.
Rev. Clenard H. Childress, Jr., national director of the Life Education and
Resource Network, an African-American pro-life ministry, said he is not
surprised at the "degrading and discriminatory" remarks.
"This demeanor is indicative of [Planned Parenthood's] founder Margaret
Sanger, whose comments regarding minorities often parallel these racist and
bigoted slurs."
Mark Crutcher of Life Dynamics, a Texas-based organization that has
investigated allegations of racism at Planned Parenthood, noted Sanger was
an admitted eugenicist whose stated goal was to create what she called "a
race of thoroughbreds."
"And don't be so naive to think that the 'thoroughbreds' she was talking
about included anyone other than the white 'n wealthy," Crutcher said.
