Race

1. [b]John Locke (1632 - 1704), British Liberal Philosopher[/b]
[quote]Although he wrote against slavery in general, Locke was
an investor and beneficiary of the slave trading Royal Africa
Company. In addition, while secretary to the Earl of
Shaftesbury, Locke participated in drafting the Fundamental
Constitutions of Carolina, which established a quasi-feudal
aristocracy and gave Carolinian planters absolute power over
their enslaved chattel property; the constitutions pledged that
"every freeman of Carolina shall have absolute power and
authority over his negro slaves". [/quote]

[quote]...Eighteen-century American colonist were hardly alone
in their hipocrisy. They were, indeed in the company of their
seventeenth-century philosophical forebears, among the greatest
of whom was John Locke. The preeminent theorist of natural
rights and human freedom was himself a merchant adventurer in
the African slave trade and an instrument of English colonial
policy who proposed legislation to ensure that "every freeman of
Carolina shall have absolute power and authority over his negro
slaves."[/quote]
John Locke was contributed to the enforcement of constitution's
rule of Carolina's British colonial territory which contents of
law was this sentences. The sentences was about treatment on
"black" slavery by "white" British on territory of Carolina:
[b][quote]But yet no slave shall hereby be exempted from that
civil dominion his master hath over him, [color=red][b]but be in
all other things in the same state and condition he was in
before.13[/quote]
But he considered some of enslavements are "unjust", like this
historical records of enslavement of group of people by group of
people :
[quote]His few examples are only of unjust enslavement :
[color=red]Greek Christians by the Turks, Israelites by the
Assyrians, Anglo-Saxons by the Danes.[/quote]

[quote]...his long colonial service and personal interests which
began in 1667 upon joining the household of Anthony Ashley
Cooper—merchant adventurer, [color=red][b]Lord Proprietor of
Carolina, and, in 1672, Earl of Shaftesbury and Lord Chancellor.
Besides serving as Ashley’s personal secretary and counselor
(for fifteen years), Locke served as secretary to the Lords
Proprietors of Carolina (between 1671 and 1675) and the Council
of Trade and Foreign Plantations (from 1673 to 1674). He also
gained financially from his service under Ashley, investing
alongside his patron in the Royal African Company (£400 in 1674
and £200 more in 1675) and in the Bahamas trade (£100 in 1675)
which he liquidated at profit (in 1676).8 Locke remained in
Shaftesbury’s colonial affairs until late 1682 when Shaftesbury
fled to Holland and fell mortally ill. To judge by reading and
correspondence, Locke never ceased to be informed about the new
world, even during his political exile between 1683 and 1690. He
again accepted colonial service from 1696 to 1700, under William
III, as a leading commissioner of the Board of Trade for
colonial affairs.[/quote]

2. Voltaire (1694 - 1778), French Liberal Philosopher
[quote]Unlike most other philosophes, Voltaire – a
self-described ‘merchant philosopher’ – held shares in the
Compagnie des Indes throughout his adult life.15 The Compagnie
administered trading colonies in South Asia and possessed a
monopoly over the French transatlantic slave trade until it was
absorbed by the Crown in 1769.
...
Voltaire inherited three shares in the Compagnie des Indes from
his father on 1st January 1722, when the trading company’s
principal commercial activity was the transatlantic slave trade;
he boasted of them to the marquise de Bernières the year he
acquired them, noting that ‘a good part of my fortune’ was
invested in the organization.
...
In the midst of the British siege on Pondicherry, as he was
clearly concerned with the fate of French India, Voltaire
received a manuscript called the Ezourvedam from Louis Laurent
de Fayd’herbe, the chevalier de Maudave.89 The text took the
form of a dialogue between two Brahmins: Chumontou, who ‘defends
the unity of God’, and Biache, a superstitious figure ‘immersed
in the darkness of idolatry,’ which ‘Chumontou rejects … as
contrary to good sense.’90 Voltaire was captivated by the
Ezourvedam and its potential to legitimize disputes about the
origin of humanity and the morality of coercing labour from
certain peoples. Unaware of the fact that it was a forgery
written by the French Jesuit Jean Calmette, Voltaire dedicated
the fourth chapter of the 1761 edition of his Essay on Universal
History to the supposedly ancient Indian text. He argued that
the Ezourvedam disproved the Book of Genesis: the manuscript’s
purported antiquity showed that humans existed before Adam and
Eve and that therefore the Old Testament presented an incorrect
and possibly derivative account of human genesis. Thus, Voltaire
contended, this manuscript confirmed his longstanding belief
that humans of different races were created in different events
and thus that ‘the black race is a species of man different from
ours’.9
...
In the Letters of Amabed, Voltaire draws on the Ezourvedam, and
writes through the eyes of Amabed, another fictional Indian.
Amabed wonders ‘whether [Africans] have descended from the apes,
or whether the apes have come from them’, before concluding with
the latter, as ‘Our sages have said that man is the image of
GOD.’101 As this late output clearly shows, Voltaire did not
change his views on the essential inferiority of Black Africans;
however, he notably stopped referring to slavery as something
inherently associated with Blackness, despite mentioning the
trade in his Letters of Amabed. This coincided with increasing
revolts in France’s slave plantations and growing public
sentiment in metropolitan Europe against slavery.102[/quote]

How Voltaire see the Jews :
[quote]He praised the Jews' "sober and regular way of life,
their abstinence, their toil." ... Rousseau spoke of the Jews
with understanding sympathy.10[/quote]

How Voltaire see the Chinese and their culture :
[quote]He further maintained that a rational government should
model itself after the Chinese empire, making the pursuit of
wisdom derived from 'the natural laws' the 'principal
administrative objective of the government' as well as the basis
of civil society.12[/quote]

How Voltaire see Islam :
[quote]In 1748, after having read Henri de Boulainvilliers and
George Sale,[166] he wrote again about Mohammed and Islam in "De
l'Alcoran et de Mahomet" ("On the Quran and on Mohammed"). In
this essay, Voltaire maintained that Mohammed was a "sublime
charlatan"[f] Drawing on complementary information in Herbelot's
"Oriental Library", Voltaire, according to René Pomeau, adjudged
the Quran, with its "contradictions, ... absurdities, ...
anachronisms", to be "rhapsody, without connection, without
order, and without art".[167][168][169][170][/quote]

3. David Hume (1711 - 1776), Scotland Liberal Philosopher
[quote]"I am apt to suspect the negroes to be naturally inferior
to whites. There scarcely ever was a civilized nation of that
complexion, nor even any individual eminent either in action or
speculation.11
...
...Hume's racism was deliberate rather than casual. The revision
proves that Hume did seriously consider objections to his racist
position. His response, however, was to sharpen his attack on
blacks further. His racism should thus be read as something he
was willing to defend, rather than as an offhand remark.

4. Immanuel Kant (1724 - 1804), German Liberal Philosopher
[quote]Although he is attentive to the possibility of fluidity
and change over time he also undermines this by falling back on
a schema of fixed racial characteristics that condemned certain
peoples, Blacks above all, to an inferior status. Given Kant’s
scholarly authority, his works carried considerable weight among
his contemporaries, and he bears considerable responsibility for
amplifying abhorrent stereotypes developed first by slaveowners
in the Caribbean. But over his career he seems to have become
aware of his own contradictions, and his ideas appear to have
evolved considerably. By the end of his life he was forcefully
denouncing colonial conquest and slavery and mocking the
self-important claims of Europeans. Scholars debate today
whether Kant’s ideas of universal freedom can be divorced from
his own racial categories in order to use them to fight against
racial essentialism. [/quote]

...
[color=red][quote][color=red][b]Native Americans, he goes on,
are a race (or rather, a semi-race) stunted in its development
because their ancestors migrated to a different climate before
they had fully adapted to their earlier environment. As a
result, they are weak, inert, ‘incapable of any culture’; and
they occupy the lowest level of the racial hierarchy that Kant
claims to have determined:
That their temperament has not become entirely adequate to any
climate can also be inferred from the fact that it is hard to
find any other reason why this race, which is too weak for hard
labour and too indifferent for industrious work, and which is
incapable of any culture3 even though there are enough examples
and encouragement in the vicinity [namely, the example set by
the European colonial settlers], stands far below even the
Negro, who occupies the lowest of all other levels which we have
mentioned as racial differences (TPP 8: 176).
...
He cites Hume’s comment that no Negro has ever shown any talent,
concluding (2: 253) that the differences between blacks and
whites are ‘essential’ and seem to be ‘as large with regard to
mental powers as they are in colour’.[/quote]

[quote]While Kant's perspective on the topic of European
colonialism became more balanced, he still considered Europeans
"civilized" to the exception of others:
But to this perfection compare the inhospitable actions of the
civilized and especially of the commercial states of our part of
the world. The injustice which they show to lands and peoples
they visit (which is equivalent to conquering them) is carried
by them to terrifying lengths. America, the lands inhabited by
the Negro, the Spice Islands, the Cape, etc., were at the time
of their discovery considered by these civilized intruders as
lands without owners, for they counted the inhabitants as
nothing. In East India (Hindustan), under the pretense of
establishing economic undertakings, they brought in foreign
soldiers and used them to oppress the natives, excited
widespread wars among the various states, spread famine,
rebellion, perfidy, and the whole litany of evils which afflict
mankind.
— Immanuel Kant, "Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch"
(1795)[177][/quote]

5. Karl Marx (1818 - 1883), German Communist Philosophers
[quote]"Without slavery, North America, the most progressive of
countries, would be transformed into a patriarchal country. Wipe
out North America from the map of the world and you will have
anarchy— the complete decay of modern commerce and civilization.
Abolish slavery and you will have wiped America off the map of
nations.10- Karl Heinrich Marx[/quote]

flawless. Let him be Germanic, or Roman, or Chinese, or a Jew,

can work with and count on all of them. Each has his established
traits. Depending on what one is looking for, this one or that

examine the advantages and disadvantages of keeping the races

splintered, set against one another, atomized by stirring up the
racial problems; so it would be rendered insignificant asfar as
foreign policy goes. That is why I have forbidden more than once
and at the next Gauleiter conference I shall unequivocally
repeat my prohibition against any talk or writing about racial
theory and the racial problem. We must do precisely the
opposite! The community of the Volk, the community of the Volk,
the community of the Volk. that must be our battle ciy!
Everything that unites and allies the strata must be brought

be avoided, fought against, removed. We must make good the
mistakes that were made on both sides" - Adolf Hitler[/quote]

best to exist only in a second-class position, as subhuman

spouting causes. For all they do is arouse inferiority complexes
and hatred in those who don’t happen to be lucky enough to be
blond, and so they divide the German Volk into two racial
halves: the Germanic and the non-Germanic people.”

Our old enemy Paul Gottfried (Jew) concedes to us again:
HTML https://chroniclesmagazine.org/featured/marx-was-not-woke/
[quote]Marx was not in the least concerned with nonbinary
oppression, raging homophobia, or the inherently evil nature of
being white. This father of “scientific socialism” focused on
socioeconomic antagonisms expressing themselves as class
conflict.
...
by the 1960s, blacks had become more and more drawn into
revolutionary activism, although they would soon be joined by
others in what can be described as the post-Marxist left.
Although members of what eventually evolved into the woke,
antifascist left looked for an “oppressed class,” their choices
had nothing to do with Marx’s proletariat. The real working
class wanted nothing to do with cultural revolutionaries, and
fights broke out between the two groups in American cities in
the 1960s.
...
Corporate capitalists who donate money to the Democratic
National Committee and to its counterparts in Western Europe and
the Anglosphere will not go begging if the eco-militants get
their way. The state-protected rich are already making profits
by converting to green energy. The corporate class enjoys the
benefits of government contracts and having their earnings
protected in tax-exempt funds. If capitalists pour their money
into Black Lives Matter, critical race theory, and LGBT, it is
not because they are Marxists. Rather, they represent what Pedro
Gonzalez characterizes as “the counterrevolution of the left.”
...
Behemoth, a famous Marxist study published by Franz Neumann in
1934, seems to be as applicable to our present ruling class as
it was to economic elites under the Third Reich. Neumann’s study
may be describing our woke capitalists even more plausibly than
those German plutocrats whom Neumann thought were building a
corporate state in alliance with Hitler. Curiously, German
industrialists and bankers may have been more reluctant to jump
onto the Nazi train than our corporate elites have been to join
the cheering gallery for gender reassignment and anti-white
racism.[/quote]
I am especially pleased to see Gottfried academically agree with
us that wokeism is closer to Hitlerism (which he as a Jew of
course dislikes) than to Marxism.
[quote]Unlike Marxism, moreover, the woke left has long ceased
paying homage to science
...
Woke beliefs have no necessary connection to what is empirically
provable, since from the woke perspective, Western science and
empirical demonstration are tainted by white, masculine, racist
prejudice. Communism in Europe, at least in practice, never
showed the frenzied nihilistic energy that seems endemic to the
woke left. From tearing down statues to abolishing genders to
inciting mob violence against white Americans to throwing open
borders for invasion by Third World migrants, the woke left
seems far more socially and culturally destructive than most
past Communist governments.
...
It opposes particularity, at least in the Western white world,
and works to obliterate anything that is specifically Western.
Indeed, wokeism offers the example of a thoroughly unhinged left
that Communist governments and parties, as well as the Cold War
in the West, all kept in check. Wokeism privileges those with
deviant sexual appetites, anti-Christian and antiwhite
fixations, and repugnance for bourgeois institutions, groups
whom the Communists quite properly kept from rising in their
parties and governments. The Communists held generally
traditional moral views even if they practiced tyranny.[/quote]
"Anti-Christian" is of course an inaccurate description of
wokeism. Wokeism is Christian and hence anti-traditional. It is
communism which was anti-Christian and hence traditional.
[quote]by the end phase of the Cold War in the 1980s,
neoconservatives were frequently making the charge that
Communist regimes discriminated against homosexuals. This charge
was perfectly true because in comparison to leftward-drifting
Western countries, Communist governments were, in some sense,
more socially conservative.[/quote]
Homophobia of course comes from Judaism, not from Christianity.
[quote]Moreover, those Eastern European governments—including
the northeastern parts of Germany—that were formerly under
Soviet control have resisted woke takeover far better than
Western Europe, the U.S., and the Anglosphere.[/quote]
This is what I have been saying all along, for which I get
called "Anglophile" as an insult. The simple truth is that the
Counterculture never happened in Turandom like it happened in
the Anglosphere. How much of this is due to communism insulating
Turandom from Counterculture media and how much because of
Turanian blood conferring immunity to wokeism requires further
study.
From the enemy comments:
[quote]As someone who was born and raised in a former communist
country in Eastern Europe, I full agree with Paul’s theses.
Communism, in practice, is almost the exact opposite of wokism
in the US. The features which it shares…as Paul points out…are
common to many other ideas and political forms throughout
history.
From a cultural perspective, all the communist countries in E.E.
were very socially conservative by Western standards. Not just
today’s Western standards, but even the contemporary
ones.[/quote]
I am always happy to reach academic agreement with our enemies
before exterminating them. And all of Turandom must indeed be
exterminated. We will finish what Hitler started.

Karl Marx's White Nationalism
He promoting racial theory from French ethnologist to his close
associate to made Communist ideology, Friedrich Engels through
correspondence
[quote]Letter to Friedrich Engels, August 7, 1866
...
A very important work which I shall send on to you (but on
condition that you send it back, as it is not my property) as
soon as I have made the necessary notes, is: ‘P. Trémaux,
Origine et Transformations de l’Homme et des autres Êtres, Paris
1865. In spite of all the shortcomings that I have noted, it
represents a very significant advance over Darwin. The two chief
theses are: croisements [crossings] do not produce, as is
commonly thought, variety, but, on the contrary, a unity typical
of the espèces. The physical features of the earth, on the other
hand, differentiate (they are the chief, though not the only
basis). Progress, which Darwin regards as purely accidental, is
essential here on the basis of the stages of the earth’s
development, dégénérescence, which Darwin cannot explain, is
straightforward here; ditto the rapid extinction of merely
transitional forms, compared with the slow development of the
type of the espece, so that the gaps in palaeontology, which
Darwin finds disturbing, are necessary here. Ditto the fixity of
the espece, once established, which is explained as a necessary
law (apart from individual, etc., variations). Here
hybridisation, which raises problems for Darwin, on the contrary
supports the system, as it is shown that an espece is in fact
first established as soon as croisement with others ceases to
produce offspring or to be possible, etc.
In its historical and political applications far more
significant and pregnant than Darwin. For certain questions,
such as nationality, etc., only here has a basis in nature been
found. E.g., he corrects the Pole Duchinski, whose version of
the geological differences between Russia and the Western Slav
lands he does incidentally confirm, by saying not that the
Russians are Tartars rather than Slavs, etc., as the latter
believes, but that on the surface-formation predominant in
Russia the Slav has been tartarised and mongolised; likewise (he
spent a long time in Africa) he shows that the common negro type
is only a degeneration of a far higher one.[/quote]

Friedrich Engels reply his letter positively to agree on its
theory on discriminating the "non-whites"
[quote]Letter to Karl Marx, October 2, 1866
Regarding Moilin and Trémaux I will write at greater length in
the next few days; I have not quite finished reading the latter
yet, but I have come to the conclusion that there is nothing to
his whole theory because he knows nothing of geology, and is
incapable of even the most common-or-garden literary-historical
critique. That stuff about the **** Santa Maria and the whites
turning into Negroes is enough to make one die of laughing.
Especially the idea that the traditions of the Senegal ****
necessarily deserve credence, just because these fellows cannot
write! In addition, it is another pretty notion of his to
ascribe the differences between a Basque, a Frenchman, a Breton,
and an Alsatian to the surface-structure, which is, of course,
also to blame for the people speaking four different languages.
Perhaps the man will demonstrate in the 2nd volume how he
explains that we Rhinelanders on our Devonian transitional
massif (which has not been covered again by the sea since long
before the coal was formed) did not become idiots and **** ages
ago, or else he will assert that we are really ****.
The book is utterly worthless, pure theorising in defiance of
all the facts, and for each piece of evidence it cites it should
itself first provide evidence in turn.[/quote]

[quote]Holding up a mirror to mainstream philosophy, this
provocative book explains the evolving outline of the racial
contract from the time of the New World conquest and subsequent
colonialism to the written slavery contract, to the "separate
but equal" system of segregation in the twentieth-century United
States. According to Mills, the contract has provided the
theoretical architecture justifying an entire history of
European atrocity against non-whites, from David Hume's and
Immanuel Kant's claims that blacks had inferior cognitive power,
to the Holocaust, to the kind of imperialism in Asia that was
demonstrated by the Vietnam War.[/quote]

Marx was rather impolite towards one of the leaders of the first
successful political party to profess a Marxist ideology:
[quote]Ferdinand Lassalle (born 11 April 1825, died 31 August
1864) was a Prussian-German jurist, philosopher, socialist and
political activist who is best remembered as the initiator of
the social-democratic movement in Germany. "Lassalle was the
first man in Germany, the first in Europe, who succeeded in
organising a party of socialist action"
[...]
Lassalle and Marx became friends during the Revolutions of 1848.
When the protests were crushed, Lassalle was imprisoned and Marx
fled Germany. They continued correspondence through letters, and
would not meet again until 1861. In the meantime Marx grew to
distrust Lassalle under influence of Engels, who had never much
sympathy for him. Marx often responded to Lassalle's warm
letters by mirroring this tone, but in his letters to Engels he
expressed antipathy towards Lassalle, including calling him "the
Jewish n***er Lassalle".[31] Lassalle continued to believe that
their friendship was genuine until at least 1862.[32] Franz
Mehring called Marx's "attitude to Lassalle [...] the most
difficult psychological problem his life offers".[33][/quote]

Christoph Meiner, the Progressivist Counter-Revolutionary
Politicians
[quote]Meiners, with his preoccupation with human beauty and his
counterrevolutionary politics, shadows the background of German
racial theory.
...
In the early 1790s, Meiners began to move racial discourse in
Gottingen beyond comparisons between Europeans and non-Europeans
and to concentrate on an intra-European hierarchy of lightness
and beauty, with ancient Germans on top.24 In a series of
articles vaunting the superiority of Germans among Europeans,
Meiners describes non-German Europeans' color as 􀁔dirty
white" and compares it unfavorably with the "whitest, most
blooming and most delicate skin" of the Germans. The early
Germans he describes as "taller, slimmer, stronger, and with
more beautiful bodies than all the remaining peoples of the
earth." Meiners maintains, following Tacitus, that Germans
possess the prized quality of racial purity. By the late
eighteenth century, Meiners was making claims for stereotypical
Nordic Teutonic attributes that some in the academic world would
echo for another hundred years.25 That was radical enough, but
he did not stop there.[/quote]

About Meiner :
[quote]Christoph Meiners (31 July 1747 – 1 May 1810) was a
German racialist, philosopher, historian, and writer born in
Warstade. He supported the polygenist theory of human origins.
He was a member of the Göttingen School of History.
...
Meiners was a polygenist: he believed that each race had a
separate origin. He was a very early practitioner of scientific
racism. Meiners studied the physical, mental and moral
characteristics of each race, and built a race hierarchy based
on the evidence that was considered common in scientific and
anthropological circles at the time. Meiners split humanity into
two divisions which he labeled the "beautiful White race" and
the "ugly Black race".
...
...Meiners claimed the Negro was the most unhealthy race on
earth because of the Negro's poor diet, mode of living and lack
of morals he said.[4]
...
...Meiners also claimed Native Americans were an inferior stock
of people. He claimed that Indians cannot adapt to different
climates, different types of food or modes of life and that when
they are exposed to these new conditions they lapse into a
“deadly melancholy”.
...
Meiners wrote that the noblest race was the Celts, and they were
able to conquer various parts of the world, were more sensitive
to heat and cold and their delicacy is shown by the way they are
selective about what they eat. Meiners claimed Slavs are an
inferior race, "less sensitive and content with eating rough
food”; he described stories of Slavs eating poisonous fungi
without coming to any harm. He claimed that their medical
techniques were also backwards such as the Slavs baking sick
people in ovens then making them roll in the snow.[4]
Below the Slavs are the peoples of the Middle East and Asia, all
limited in intelligence and of an evil disposition, which goes
together with lack of adaptability and insensitivity.[4][/quote]

Thomas Carlyle
[quote]This Teutonic/Saxon race chauvinism increased in Carlyle
and Emerson as they aged, but far more so in Carlyle. His
identification with his Saxons as Germans seemed boundless, as
he completely embraced German nationalism and Teutonic race
chauvinism along the lines of Charles Villers and romantics like
the two Schlegels, de Stael's friends.22 As early as 1820. in
his twenty-fifth year, Carlyle was already admiring German
writers for the "muscle in their frames. ,,23 A decade later. he
was delivering popular lectures on German themes. One of several
1837 lectures was entitled "On the Teutonic People, the German
Language. the Northern Immigration, andthe Nibelungen Lied." the
pagan German epic that later inspired Richard Wagner's Ring
cycle. It may seem odd to readers today, but when Carlyle spoke
of "the German people," he was including much of the population
of Britain. In any case, Carlyle came to sound a lot like the
willfully excerpted version of Gelmania by the Roman author
Tacitus, which was then beginning to circulate among German
nationalists. Alert to the values of his time. Carlyle sexes his
German nationalism masculine.
His Germans are "the only genuine European people, unmixed with
strangers. They have in fact never been subdued; and considering
the great. open, and fertile country which they inhabit, this
fact at once demonstrates the masculine and indomitable
character of the race. They have not only not been subdued, but
been themselves by far the greatest conquerors in the world.
,,24 Those themes of masculinity and race purity would soon
reappear in Emerson, with masculinity of far greater
consequence. On the matter of racial purity Emerson would
waver.[/quote]

About Thomas Carlyle :
[quote]Thomas Carlyle was born on 4 December 1795 to James
(1758–1832) and Margaret Aitken Carlyle (1771–1853) in the
village of Ecclefechan in Dumfriesshire in southwest Scotland.
His parents were members of the Burgher secession Presbyterian
church.[16] James Carlyle was a stonemason, later a farmer, who
built the Arched House wherein his son was born. His maxim was
that "man was created to work, not to speculate, or feel, or
dream."[17] Nicholas Carlisle, an English antiquary, traced his
ancestry back to Margaret Bruce, sister of Robert the Bruce.[18]
...
Fielding writes that Carlyle "was often ready to play up to
being a caricature of prejudice".[234] Targets for his ire
included the French, the Irish, Slavs,[235] Turks, Americans,
Catholics, and, most explicitly, blacks and Jews. According to
Duffy, when he charged Carlyle with having "taught [John]
Mitchel to oppose the liberation of the negroes and the
emancipation of the Jews", Carlyle replied:
Mitchel ... would be found to be right in the end; the black man
could not be emancipated from the laws of nature, which had
pronounced a very decided decree on the question, and neither
could the Jew.[236]
...
Henry Crabb Robinson heard Carlyle at dinner in 1837 speak
approvingly of slavery. "It is a natural aristocracy, that of
colour, and quite right that the stronger and better race should
have dominion!"[244] The 1853 pamphlet "Occasional Discourse on
the **** Question" expressed concern for the excesses of the
practice, considering "How to abolish the abuses of slavery, and
save the precious thing in it."[245][/quote]
Important information about Thomas Carlyle :
[quote]While some Germans were eager to claim Carlyle for the
Reich, others were more aware of incompatibilities. In 1936,
Theodor Deimel argued that because of the "profound difference"
between Carlyle's philosophical foundation of "a personally
shaped religious idea" and the Völkisch foundation of National
Socialism, the designation of Carlyle as the "first National
Socialist" is "mistaken".[254] Ernst Cassirer rejected the
notion of Carlyle as proto-fascist in The Myth of the State
(1946), emphasizing the moral underpinning of his thought.
Tennyson has also commented that Carlyle's anti-modernist and
anti-egoist stances disqualify him from association with
20th-century totalitarianism.[255][/quote]

William Zebina Ripley
[quote]William Zebina Ripley (October 13, 1867 – August 16,
1941) was an American economist, lecturer at Columbia
University, professor of economics at MIT, professor of
political economy at Harvard University, and racial
anthropologist. Ripley was famous for his criticisms of American
railroad economics and American business practices in the 1920s
and 1930s, and later for his tripartite racial theory of Europe.
His work of racial anthropology was later taken up by racial
physical anthropologists, eugenicists, white supremacists,
Nordicists, and racists in general, and it was considered a
valid academic work at the time, although today it is considered
to be a prime example of scientific racism and
pseudoscience.[1][2]
...
The Races of Europe, overall, became an influential book of the
era in the then-accepted field of racial taxonomy.[8] Ripley's
tripartite system of racial classification was especially
championed by the racist propagandist Madison Grant, who changed
Ripley's "Teutonic" type into Grant's own Nordic type (taking
the name, but little else, from Deniker), which he postulated as
a master race.[9] It is in this light that Ripley's work on race
is usually remembered today, though little of Grant's racist
ideology is present in Ripley's original work.[citation

Georges Vacher de Lapouge
[quote]Count Georges Vacher de Lapouge (French: [vaʃe
də lapuʒ]; 12 December 1854 – 20 February 1936) was a
French anthropologist and a theoretician of eugenics and
scientific racism. He is known as the founder of
anthroposociology, the anthropological and sociological study of
race as a means of establishing the superiority of certain
peoples.
...
De Lapouge wrote L'Aryen: son Rôle Social (1899, "The Aryan: His
Social Role"), in which he opposed the Aryan, dolichocephalic
races to the brachycephalic races. Vacher de Lapouge thus
classified human races: first the Homo europaeus, Nordic or
fair-haired, then the Homo alpinus, represented by the Auvergnat
and Turkic peoples, finally the Homo mediterraneus, represented
by the Neapoletan or Andaluz peoples.
Vacher de Lapouge endorsed Francis Galton's theory of eugenics,
but applied it to his theory of races. Vacher de Lapouge's ideas
are comparable to those of Henri de Boulainvilliers (1658–1722),
who believed that the Germanic Franks formed the upper class of
French society, whereas the Gauls were the ancestors of the
peasantry. Race, according to him, thus became almost synonymous
with social class. Vacher de Lapouge added to this concept of
races and classes what he termed selectionism, his version of
Galton's eugenics. Vacher de Lapouge's anthropology was intended
to prevent social conflict by defining a fixed, hierarchical
social order.[3][4]
In 1926, he prefaced and translated Madison Grant's publication
The Passing of the Great Race (Le Déclin de la Grande Race,
Payot, 1926). He also translated one work of Ernst Haeckel into
French.[5][6][/quote]

Ernst Haeckel
[quote]Haeckel divided human beings into ten races, of which the
Caucasian was the highest and the primitives were doomed to
extinction.[37] In his view, 'Negroes' were savages and Whites
were the most civilised: for instance, he claimed that '[t]he
Negro' had stronger and more freely movable toes than any other
race, which, he argued, was evidence of their being less
evolved, and which led him to compare them to '"four-handed"
Apes'.[38]
In his Ontogeny and Phylogeny Harvard paleontologist Stephen Jay
Gould wrote: "[Haeckel's] evolutionary racism; his call to the
German people for racial purity and unflinching devotion to a
'just' state; his belief that harsh, inexorable laws of
evolution ruled human civilization and nature alike, conferring
upon favored races the right to dominate others ... all
contributed to the rise of Nazism."[39]
In his introduction to the Nazi party ideologue Alfred
Rosenberg's 1930 book, [The Myth of the Twentieth Century],
Peter Peel affirms that Rosenberg had indeed read Haeckel.[40]
In the same line of thought, historian Daniel Gasman states that
Haeckel's ideology stimulated the birth of Fascist ideology in
Italy and France.[41]
However, Robert J. Richards notes: "Haeckel, on his travels to
Ceylon and Indonesia, often formed closer and more intimate
relations with natives, even members of the untouchable classes,
than with the European colonials." and says the Nazis rejected
Haeckel, since he opposed antisemitism, while supporting ideas
they disliked (for instance atheism, feminism, internationalism,
pacifism etc.).[42][/quote]
Important information about Ernst Haeckel
[quote]The principal arguments of historians who deny a
meaningful connection between Haeckel and Nazism are that
Haeckel's ideas were very common at the time, that Nazis were
much more strongly influenced by other thinkers, and that
Haeckel is properly classified as a 19th-century German liberal,
rather than a forerunner to Nazism.[91][92] They also point to
incompatibilities between evolutionary biology and Nazi
ideology.[93]
...
...Nazi propaganda guidelines issued in 1935 listed books which
popularized Darwin and evolution on an "expunged list". Haeckel
was included by name as a forbidden author.[96] Gunther Hecht, a
member of the Nazi Department of Race Politics, also issued a
memorandum rejecting Haeckel as a forerunner of Nazism.[97] Kurt
Hildebrandt, a Nazi political philosopher, also rejected
Haeckel.[97] Eventually Haeckel was rejected by Nazi
bureaucrats.[98][/quote]

About Henry Herbert Goddard
[quote]Henry Herbert Goddard (August 14, 1866 – June 18, 1957)
was a prominent American psychologist, eugenicist, and
segregationist during the early 20th century. He is known
especially for his 1912 work The Kallikak Family: A Study in the
Heredity of Feeble-Mindedness,[2] which he himself came to
regard as flawed for its ahistoric depiction of the titular
family, and for translating the Binet intelligence test into
English in 1908 and distributing an estimated 22,000 copies of
the translated test across the United States. He also introduced
the term "moron" for clinical use.[2]
...
At the May 18, 1910, annual meeting of the American Association
for the Study of the Feeble-Minded, Goddard proposed definitions
for a system for classifying individuals with intellectual
disability based on intelligence quotient (IQ). Goddard used the
terms moron for those with an IQ of 51–70, imbecile for those
with an IQ of 26–50, and idiot for those with an IQ of 0-25 for
categories of increasing impairment. This nomenclature was
standard for decades. A moron, by his definition, was any adult
with a mental age between eight and twelve. Morons, according to
Goddard, were unfit for society and should be removed from
society either through institutionalization, sterilization, or
both.
...
Goddard was a strong advocate of eugenics. Although he believed
that "feeble-minded" people bearing children was inadvisable, he
hesitated to promote compulsory sterilization – even though he
was convinced that it would eliminate intellectual disability –
because he did not think such a plan could gain widespread
acceptance. Instead, he suggested that colonies should be
established where the "feeble-minded" could be segregated.
...
...the Jews, Hungarians, Italians, and Russians"; however, he
immediately followed this up by stating that "the figures would
only need to be revised (reduced) by a relatively small amount"
because "[very obviously high-grade intelligent immigrants] were
so small a part of the group [of Ellis Island immigrants] that
they did not noticeably affect the character of the group."
...
Claims are made that the Immigration Act of 1924 was strongly
influenced by intelligence testing, which was backed up by the
American Psychologist.[10][/quote]
Charles Davenport
[quote]For Davenport, Poles, Irish, Italians, Hebrews, and
others behaved differently, each according to their race. He
believed, as did William Z. Ripley, that immigrants from
southern and eastern Europe would make the American population
"darker in pigmentation, smaller in stature, more mercurial. .
.more given to crimes of larceny, kidnapping, assault, murder,
****, and sex immorality." 􀁼
...
Undaunted, in 1922 Davenport' s Eugenics Record Office offered a
model eugenical sterilization law meant to assist states in
crafting involuntary sterilization laws that could withstand
court challenge. In 1924 Virginia passed the first such act,
stating that "heredity plays an important part in the
transmission of insanity, idiocy, and imbecility, epilepsy, and
crime." 19 The court test that followed increased the visibility
of 􀁣degenerate families" and, in light of the
long-standing prejudice against poor white southerners, gave
degeneracy a poor and female southern face.[/quote]

eugenics movement.

Davenport attempted to develop a comprehensive quantitative
approach to human miscegenation. The results of their research
was presented in the book Race Crossing in Jamaica (1929), which
attempted to provide statistical evidence for biological and
cultural degradation following interbreeding between white and
black populations.
...
Sharing the racist views of many scientists during this time,
those that Davenport considered to be genetically inferior
included Black people and Southeastern Europeans.[1]
...
Charles Davenport spoke regularly with Congressman Albert
Johnson, who was a cosponsor of the Immigration Act of 1924, and
encouraged him to restrict immigration in that
legislation.[/quote]
Important Information about Charles Davenport
[quote]After Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Germany, Davenport
maintained connections with various Nazi institutions and
publications, both before and during World War II. He held
editorial positions at two influential German journals, both of
which were founded in 1935, and in 1939 he wrote a contribution
to the Festschrift for Otto Reche, who became an important
figure in the plan to "remove" those populations considered
"inferior" in eastern Germany.[17] In a 1938 Letter to the
Editor of Life magazine, he included both Franklin Roosevelt and
Joseph Goebbels as examples of crippled statesmen who, motivated
by their physical defects, have "led revolutions and aspired to
dictatorships while burdening their country with heavy taxes and
reducing its finances to chaos."[18]

due to the rise of Nazism in Germany, Charles Davenport remained
a fervent supporter until the end of his life.[/quote]

psychology.

Yerkes used the results of tests such as these to argue that
recent immigrants (especially those from Southern and Eastern
Europe) scored considerably lower than older waves of
immigration (from Northern Europe.) The results would later be
criticized as very clearly only measuring acculturation, as the
test scores correlated nearly exactly with the number of years
spent living in the US. Nonetheless, the effects of Yerkes work

Brigham differentiated between the above􀂏average

About Carl Brigham
[quote]Carl Campbell Brigham (May 4, 1890 – January 24, 1943)
was an American eugenicist and professor of psychology at
Princeton University's Department of Psychology and a pioneer in
the field of psychometrics. He sat on the advisory council of
the American Eugenics Society (today known as the Society for
Biodemography and Social Biology)[1] and his early writings
heavily influenced the eugenics movement and anti-immigration
legislation in the United States. He created the SAT for The
College Board.
...
In 1923, Brigham published his influential book, A Study of
American Intelligence. Analyzing the data from the World War I
army mental tests, Brigham concluded that native-born
(Caucasian) Americans had the highest intelligence out of the
groups tested. He proclaimed the intellectual superiority of the
"Nordic Race" and the inferiority of the "Alpine" (Eastern
European), "Mediterranean", and "Negro" races and argued that
immigration should be carefully controlled to safeguard the
"American Intelligence". Brigham believed that in the early
years of the twentieth century, American intelligence was
declining because of recent immigration waves from Eastern
Europe ("Carl Campbell Brigham: The Man who devised the SAT").
Harvard Professor E.G. Boring suggested that Brigham was not
collecting data with scientific purpose which biased his results
in favor of his ideas (1923).[/quote]

Kenneth L. Roberts
[quote]Kenneth L. Roberts (1885-1957) harbored a great distaste
for southern and eastern Europeans especially Jews-and an
abhorrence for racial "mongrelization." Both Roberts and Lorimer
believed that immigration would extinguish the race of native
Americans, because "races cannot be crossbred without
mongrelization any more than dogs."
...
Roberts termed immigration restriction "a matter of life and
death for the American people." The threat was racial: either
the United States would break up into a series of racial groups,
fighting, bickering, haggling "over their alien racial
differences," or, worse, 􀁣a new composite race of
people wholly different from the Americans of the present day"
would emerge, a motley, inefficient, mongrelized race.: Having
roamed far and wide on the Post's dime. Roberts described Czechs
as "backward, illiterate. dirty. thick-headed," and English
workingmen as "runty, stunted, malformed, buck-toothed,
obviously mal-nourished, diseased and generally wretched
specimens." Southern Italians had descended from the mongrelized
slaves of the Roman empire. Because the American nation, like
ancient Greece and Rome, grew out of blond Nordic genius,
mongrelization would ruin the United States as surely as it
ruined the ancients.

of Past and Present Immigration to the American People (1914):
Jews are loud and pushy; they lie and cheat; Jewish men pursue
Gentile rather than Jewish girls. Ross repeated the familiar
orthodoxy of the time that immigrants were lowering the level of
American intelligence and American beauty. In a famous phrase
echoing Shakespeare' s The Tempest, Ross called new immigrants
􀁣the Caliban type" who "belong in skins, in wattled
huts at the close of the Great Ice Age. These oxlike men are
descendants of those who always stayed behind."':': Ross
maintains, with many others at the time, that race purity
produces beauty. As we know, William Z. Ripley had in 1908 also
predicted that the crossing of heterogeneous strains would make
Americans ugly. Ross foresees "a good many faces of a 'chaotic
constitution,' " the outcome of the blending of "dissimilar"
European races.
