Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Miscegenation

It must be observed how forcibly the doctrine here urged of the passage of man from one complexion to another, and through successively different forms of skull in the course of ages, is illustrated by the singular circumstance to which attention has of late years been, directed, of the gradual disappearance of the red-haired and blue-eyed men from Europe. Less than two thou sand years ago the Roman authors hear their concur rent testimony to the fact, that the inhabitants of Britain, Gaul, and a large portion of Germany, were of this kind. But no one would accept such a description as correct in our own times. The true reason is that the red-haired man has been slowly changing to get into correspondence with the conditions that have been introduced through the gradual spread of civilization conditions of a purely physical kind, and with which the darker man was more in unison.

Excerpt from Miscegenation the Theory of the Blending of the Races, Applied to the American White Man and Negro

The word is spoken at last. It is Miscegenation - the blending of the various races of men - the practical recognition of the brotherhood of all the children of the common father. While the sublime inspirations of Christianity have taught this doctrine, Christians so-called have ignored it in denying social equality to the colored man; while democracy is founded upon the idea that all men are equal, democrats have shrunk from the logic of their own creed, and refused to fraternize with the people of all nations; while science has demonstrated that the intermarriage of diverse races is indispensable to a progressive humanity, its votaries, in this country, at least, have never had the courage to apply that rule to the relations of the white and colored races. But Christianity, democracy, and science, are stronger than the timidity, prejudice, and pride of short-sighted men; and they teach that a people, to become great, must become composite. This involves what is vulgarly known as amalgamation, and those who dread that name, and the thought and fact it implies, are warned against reading these pages.

The author is aware that this book will call down upon itself a storm of contumely and abuse.
