d
politicians in north carolina are thinking of pain victims of
sterilization twenty thousand dollars each
uh... etc
oh right after world war two and even before world war two there was a whole
eugenics program
here in the united states and what they would do is they would sterilize people
that they found menaces to society
okay people that they felt more on
incompetent
wouldn't be able to raise children people that they thought were
promiscuous
mostly women and mostly black people
let me know
that what what unbelievable questions i can see that coming aniket was
interesting about this is and there were sixty thousand women in thirty two
states that was sterilized and from the nineteen twenties in the nineteen
seventies
okay uh... a large chunk happened after world war two
is not what hitler did
you know uh... are much grander scale obviously and much dot com dot on but
ideologies the saint
any other thing is
you know all mostly i a m but in a recent survey church
the length of the nineteen seventies there was as mild racism
they were going in you that uh... the the you know sterilizing
and predominantly black women because uh... you know they're promiscuous and
now we don't want their kind hearted we have an example for you guys at c_b_s_
news did a really great video uh... featuring a woman by the name of elena
uh... riddick
and when she was fourteen years old and she was raped and she got pregnant as a
result
she gave birth to the baby and right after she gave birth she got sterilized
because they said that she was
promiscuous
video explains one of the plunge
here
at fifty seven am lane read it has a house
all of god's children greatness is a nephews but only one child of her own
aside when she was fourteen riddick was raped the day she gave birth doctors
sterilized her on orders from the state of north carolina
her illiterate grandmother signs the sterilization papers with an x i've
always been able to take care of myself on
outnumbered promiscuous
so how can people see you're anything
pains too
describe which how
that
had been on then then
five have been rated by
philip morris
handmade by the state of north carolina
what happens to healing riddick in north carolina happens to more than sixty
thousand people in thirty two states from the early nineteen hundreds to the
nineteen seventies
the people who
where the focus of this kind of movement
for people who
where the dispossessed of society they were poor people
and in some cases simply people of color they think they are doing it
north carolina is the first state to consider making amends with a cash
payment
twenty thousand dollars for each victim
examine simulator still um... had
on tennessee
avocado hyperventilating and i want but i don't know what
who should pay
a decision on compensation could come in sometime next year but that's not
lawmakers would still have to approve the funding
sixty nine million dollars to pay the victims
and and news reports are that with of the republican north carolina
of the chancellor passing is incredibly small of so
i was sterilized q
so what
uh... go past it
so by the way you know
she saw a lot of it happened to her right into happen as late as nineteen
seventies
you know what so i'm
the people who did it for right the people who made the decision that a
fourteen-year-old girl who was raped was too permissive you know it's i'd love
that you mentioned that because those people genuinely thought that they were
doing society good like they didn't do it thinking
uh... yeah let's through these people over there actually thought look these
people are competent they can't have children ok we we can allow them to
parent so we're gonna make society better place we're gonna make their
lives easier by taking away their right to have children like they genuinely
thought that they talked themselves into thinking that here some of them were
reviewed by the associated press in your reader comments you just like on my god
they really thought that they were helping society net understand that but
they also thought
well we're helping society because
use black people of course they can't take it babies and starving you know how
black people are there promiscuous at the age of fourteen how in the world you
promiscuous
as can get over because she was raped them and that's
no but that person making that decision
in he might have thought that he's helping this black woman because she
obviously is not his capable as white people or whatever but is obviously
races thurday
that this isn't just about race is much more important issue in a sense is at is
how rich people viewed poor people right account for meal ticket your baby's
their confidence in their permission if you have poor people are and it all that
race and and poverty et cetera all that makes them
especially places like north carolina
the partners and tell you this is an outrage these people far are not going
to get any conversation anything any knowledge of really right northern part
of it is
whose sometimes and we're like i'm surprised by
the overt racism that i see in this country right makayla while how could
anybody think that right
but the guys who were still around who make decisions like that of course i
think that way
hey you know so
racism in this country is this something that's you know it industry
unfortunately part of the fabric of of this country in some ways has a gun but
of course that's right
but at the same time
is still in their you know from varying degrees in for mary degrees enforce an
older generations
i mean they live in a different social context again and try to be fair to them
right they live in a context where recently racism was rampant so it was
they thought it was perfectly normal make and in their own twisted mind they
thought they were helping these people example right
but they're still out there
