“It is the duty of the virtuous and morally pure of both the white and black races to thoughtfully and actively protect the future of the two peoples, by vigorously opposing the destructive propaganda and vile efforts of the miscegenationists of the white race, and their associates, the hybrids of the Negro race.
Miscegenation will lead to the moral destruction of both races and the promotion of a hybrid caste that will have no social standing or moral background in a critical moral judgment of the life and the affairs of the human race.
The lower animals, some of even similar but opposite species, do not mate, living voluntarily in keeping with the laws of nature; yet man, the highest type of creation, has to be restrained, in some cases by severe human laws and punishment, from mating with even other species of the lower animals. Something is wrong
The agitation for and about social equality is but a sham and all self-respecting whites and blacks should frown upon the extraneous arguments adduced by its advocates.
The black race, like the white, is proud of its own society and will yield nothing in its desire to keep itself pure and ward off monstruos subjugation of its original and natural type, by which creation is to be judged, as a race responsible for its own acts, and held accountable in the final analysis for the presentation of itself, before the judgment seat of God. The Ethiopian can not change his skin; and we shall not.”
