Racial Stereotypes Quotes
Sanger was not only anxious to work with Black organizations, but she hired Blacks in her own projects—a very unusual practice for the time. There have always been in America some Blacks who saw in birth control a plan to reduce the Black population. However, there are also always been some whites who favored birth control and other activities precisely because they might reduce the Black population. So what seems like paranoia may actually be a rational reaction to other people and forces.
Many people erroneously attribute this quotation to Margaret Sanger, who had observed that the upper class women generally knew how to practice birth control and could obtain the devices that were available at the time while the poor and uneducated knew very little and not only did not have the money to obtain birth control devices, but the laws made it illegal so that no one dared to promote it. Du Bois was in many ways, a Black elitist and this quotation reflects that.
What he meant by “crosses” was cross breeding or what we would call inter-racial breeding. He was under the scientifically false assumption held by many racists that interracial breeding deteriorates the progeny. Actually, without diversity, species are subject to genetic problems which is why we have prohibitions on marrying siblings and other close relatives. He was also historically inaccurate in the Arabs and the other Semitic people of the Middle East were inbred with less intermarriage than most European whites.
This quotation is significant. Ibn Khalodun was one of the great intellectual Arab scholars, yet he looked upon Blacks as subhuman and fit for slavery. While Islam preaches the equality of all people, the Arabs had and many still have a raciest view of Blacks. The Arabs were the leaders among the slave traders and many an American Captain of a slave trader bought his slaves from Arab slave traders. Saudi Arabia was the last nation to outlaw legal slavery (1963) and it is still illegally practiced in Saudi Arabia and other Arab states of the Middle East. The attitude can be seen in much of the Arab Middle East even today. For examples, the Muslim Arabs in Northern Sudan refer to the Black non-Islamic Southerners using a derogatory term that means slave.
This was quite shocking to most Italians where Jews had been very assimilated for years and anti-Semitism was not as embedded in society as in Germany.
This absurd statement was made in the midst of the huge Black protests against the Apartheid regime. It was very similar to what the Southern racist, segregationist politicians of the American South used to say about the Southern Negroes who in their view were only unhappy when the “communist outsiders” talk to the them and incite them.
He and other founders believed that Blacks freed from slavery would still suppress wages for whites and hurt industry. The possibility of intermarriage was also viewed as a moral degeneration. Approximately 15,000 Blacks chose to emigrate.
At the time, American racism was rampant, and about 150 Blacks were lynched each year with no punishment for the murderers. The heavyweight boxing champion of the world was a major hero, and the thought of a Black possibly winning the title was unthinkable.
Nott, a Southerner who owned slaves, was not only an apologist for slavery as this quotation illustrates, but also wrote on his theories of race. Nott was one of the writers about race that Darwin singled out as being completely wrong in 1871: The Descent of Man.
If one adjusts for socioeconomic factors, it is the Asians who have the highest IQs in America, not the Jews.
Obama lost his first political campaign badly
Later, Italy was totally subservient to Germany later and Mussolini accepted German racist policies. Actually, there is only one human race and all members of it have the same original common ancestor, and African female.
Bilbo was one of the worst racists who ever served in the Congress.
In his travels to the Americas Darwin saw some free Blacks but mostly slaves. He thought very highly of Blacks and was an inveterate opponent of slavery.
