"We should hire three or four colored  ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging  personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is  through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we  want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man  who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more  rebellious members."

Margaret Sanger's (Founder of planned parenthood) December 19,  1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton,  Massachusetts.

New  York: Grossman Publishers, 1976.

"In the opinion of the court, the legislation and histories of the times, and the language used in the Declaration of Independence, show, that neither the class of persons who had been imported as slaves, nor their descendants, whether they had become free or not, were then acknowledged as a part of the people, nor intended to be included in the general words used in that memorable instrument...They had for more than a century before been regarded as beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations; and so far inferior, that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; and that the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit."

"The circumstance of superior beauty, is thought worthy attention in  the propagation of our horses, dogs, and other domestic animals; why not  in that of man? Besides those of colour, figure, and hair, there are  other physical distinctions proving a difference of race. They have less  hair on the face and body. They secrete less by the kidnies, and more  by the glands of the skin, which gives them a very strong and  disagreeable odour. This greater degree of transpiration renders them  more tolerant of heat, and less so of cold, than the whites. Perhaps too  a difference of structure in the pulmonary apparatus, which a late  ingenious experimentalist has discovered to be the principal regulator  of animal heat, may have disabled them from extricating, in the act of  inspiration, so much of that fluid from the outer air, or obliged them  in expiration, to part with more of it. They seem to require less sleep.  A black, after hard labour through the day, will be induced by the  slightest amusements to sit up till midnight, or later, though knowing  he must be out with the first dawn of the morning. They are at least as  brave, and more adventuresome. But this may perhaps proceed from a want  of forethought, which prevents their seeing a danger till it be present.  When present, they do not go through it with more coolness or  steadiness than the whites. They are more ardent after their female: but  love seems with them to be more an eager desire, than a tender delicate  mixture of sentiment and sensation. Their griefs are transient. Those  numberless afflictions, which render it doubtful whether heaven has  given life to us in mercy or in wrath, are less felt, and sooner  forgotten with them. In general, their existence appears to participate  more of sensation than reflection. To this must be ascribed their  disposition to sleep when abstracted from their diversions, and  unemployed in labour. An animal whose body is at rest, and who does not  reflect, must be disposed to sleep of course. Comparing them by their  faculties of memory, reason, and imagination, it appears to me, that in  memory they are equal to the whites; in reason much inferior, as think  one could scarcely be found capable of tracing and comprehending the  investigations of Euclid; and that in imagination they are dull,  tasteless, and anomalous.

The improvement of the blacks in  body and mind, in the first instance of their mixture with the whites,  has been observed by every one, and proves that their inferiority is not  the effect merely of their condition of life. . .

I  advance it therefore as a suspicion only, that the blacks, whether  originally a distinct race, or made distinct by time and circumstances,  are inferior to the whites in the endowments both of body and mind. It  is not against experience to suppose, that different species of the same  genus, or varieties of the same species, may possess different  qualifications."

"I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the  social and political equality of the white and black races. I am not nor  ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor  qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people. And  I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference  between the white and black races which I believe will ever forbid the  two races living together on terms of social and political equality. …  And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there  must be the position of superior and inferior and I as much as any  other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the  white race.”

"Negro equality! Fudge! How long, in the government of a god, great  enough to make and maintain this universe, shall there continue to be  knaves to vend, and fools to gulp, so low a piece of demagogue-ism as  this?" – Abraham Lincoln in notes for speeches in September of 1859.

"THE WILLIE LYNCH LETTER
 
Gentlemen,
I greet you here on the bank of the James River in the year of our Lord  one thounited snakesnd seven hundred and twelve. First, I shall thank you, the  gentlemen of the Colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I am here to  help you solve some of your problems with slaves. Your invitation  reached me on my modest plantation in the West Indies where I have  experimented with some of the newest and still the oldest methods of  controlling slaves. Ancient Rome would envy us if my program were  implemented. As our boat sailed south on the James River, named for our  illustrious King, whose version of the Bible we cherish, I saw enough to  know that your problem is not unique. While Rome used cords of wood as  crosses for standing human bodies along its highways in great numbers,  you are here using the tree and the rope on occasion.
 
I caught the whiff of a dead slave hanging from a tree a couple of miles  back. You are not only losing a valuable stock by hangings, you are  having uprisings, slaves are running away, your crops are sometimes left  in the fields too long for maximum profit, you suffer occasional fires,  your animals are killed.
 
Gentlemen, you know what your problems are: I do not need to elaborate. I  am not here to enumerate your problems, I am here to introduce you to a  method of solving them. In my bag here, I have a fool proof method for  controlling your Black slaves. I guarantee everyone of you that if  installed correctly it will control the slaves for at least 300 hundred  years.
 
My method is simple. Any member of your family or your overseer can use it.
 
I have outlined a number of differences among the slaves: and I take  these differences and make them bigger. I use fear, distrust, and envy  for control purposes. These methods have worked on my modest plantation  in the West Indies and it will work throughout the South. Take this  simple little list of differences, and think about them. On top of my  list is "Age", but it is there only because it starts with an "A": the  second is "Color" or shade, there is intelligence, size, sex, size of  plantations, status on plantation, attitude of owners, whether the  slaves live in the valley, on hill, East, West, North, South, have fine  hair, coarse hair, or is tall or short. Now that you have a list of  differences. I shall give you an outline of action- but before that I  shall assure you that distrust is stronger than trust and envy is  stronger than adulation, respect, or admiration.
 
The Black slave after receiving this indoctrination shall carry on and  will become self re-fueling and self generating for hundreds of years,  maybe thounited snakesnds. Don't forget you must pitch the old Black male vs. the  young Black male, and the young Black male against the old Black male.  You must use the dark skin slaves vs. the light skin slaves and the  light skin slaves vs. the dark skin slaves. You must use the female vs.  the male, and the male vs. the female. You must also have your white  servants and overseers distrust all Blacks, but it is necessary that  your slaves trust and depend on us.
 
They must love, respect and trust only us. Gentlemen, these kits are  your keys to control. Use them. Have your wives and children use them,  never miss an opportunity. If used intensely for one year, the slaves  themselves will remain perpetually distrustful. Thank you, gentlemen."

"The darkest man is here the most highly esteemed and considered better  than the other who are not so dark. Let me add that in very truth these  people portray and depict their gods and their idols Black and their  devils white as snow. For they say that God and all the saints are Black  and the devils are all white."

A hundred years ago, the electric telegraph made possible - indeed,  inevitable - the United States of America. The communications satellite  will make equally inevitable a United Nations of Earth; let us hope that  the transition period will not be equally bloody. [yeah right!]

      “I could show fight on natural selection having done and doing more  for the progress of civilization than you seem inclined to admit.  Remember what risk the nations of eureurasia ran, not so many centuries ago  of being overwhelmed by the Turks, and how ridiculous such an idea now  is! The more civilised so-called Cauceurasian races have beaten the Turkish  hollow in the struggle for existence. Looking to the world at no very  distant date, what an endless number of the lower races will have been  eliminated by the higher civilized races throughout the world.”
