Yet to send it to them, but I thought you all might be interested, especially Howard (Don Webb, please feel free to pass this onto Setian-l, as it is category 15, TS-5 material that few are going to encounter outside a good university library). Harrowing reading, but obviously Arno Press and The New York Times (New York) felt it appropriate to reprint the volume in 1970 as part of its 'American Immigration Collection' (ISBN #0-405-00577-6), without any finger-wraggling forewards, in fact with the original Preface and Preface to the New Edition written by Henry Fairfield Osborn intact. I will probably write a longer essay to put the material in context, but here are the most glaring quotes I could find in an hour. In SD terms, PURPLE (B-O) clan policies are merely a thin membrame over BEIGE (A-N) concerns, and become the driving forces for RED (C-P) empire building and BLUE (D-Q) moral crusades and outward enemies. If anyone here can set me clear on what the Founding Fathers actually said, and whether or not Grant misinterprets the Declaration of Independence, I'd appreciate it for future debating purposes. Regards, Alex 'reading this puts me in the mood to join Public Enemy' Burns Written during the First World War, 'The Passing of the Great Race' was a best-seller when printed in 1916, and was revised and reprinted in 1918 by Charles Scribner's Sons, a major New York based publishing company. Grant, then chairman of the New York Zoological Society; trustee, American Museum of Natural History; and councilor, American Geographical Society (i.e. hardly a fringe-thinker), argues for an ethnological model of Nordic supremacy and heridity/racial foundation of the history of Europe that would have done the German NSDAP and Nazi philosophers like Alfred Rosenberg proud. After World War II, books like 'Passing' became guilty of 'Crimethink' in an increasingly multi-cultural society, 'Passing' shows how obsession with racial purity, ancestral heritage, bloodlines, settlement patterns, and the effects of disease and warfare, can become propaganda tools for sterilization, racial cleansing, and immigration policy restrictions (it influenced the passing of U.S. laws which were in turn the model for NSDAP laws). Historically important, the book - mainly a mish-mash of personal opinions and historical distortions - shows that such thinking was not simply the sole province of Nazi Germany, but was commonplace throughout the Western world during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Such policies are shaped to fit the geo-political concerns and unresolved historical issues of ! emocracy; patriotism; fear of America sliding down the 'pecking order' of international nations etc. Similar blind rhetoric informs aspects of contemporary debate on the effects of NAFTA, and border disputes between Mexico and the United States. Grant's scheme of racial stratification, and his firm belief that moral codes, intelligence, and cultural superiority are largely racially determined (and the basis for longterm civilization stability and regeneration) is the kind of psuedo-scientific 'logic' which created the 'apartheid' system of South Africa and enabled the NSDAP to class the Jews as sub-human, leading to the horrors of Belsen, Treblinka, and Auschwitz. The only difference was in the means employed, not the end: Grant argued for steril Some direct quotes will give a flavour of Grant's 'scholarly objective thinking': "The men who wrote the words, "we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal," were themselves the owners of slaves and despised Indians as something less than human. Equality in their minds meant that they were just as good Englishmen as their brothers across the sea. The words "that all men are created equal" have since been subtly falsified by adding the word "free," although no such expression is found in the original document and the teachings based on these altered words i "The refusal of the native American to work with his hands when he can hire or import serfs to do manual labor for him is the prelude to his extinction and the immigrant laborers are now breeding out their masters and killing by filth and by crowding as effectively as by the sword. Thus the American sold his birthright in a continent to solve a labor problem. Instead of retaining political control and making citizenship an honorable and valued privilege, he intrusted the government of his country and the "Thus the view that the Negro slave was an unfortunate cousin of the white man, deeply tanned by the tropic sun and denied the blessings of Christianity and civilization, played no small part with the sentimentalists of the Civil War period and it has taken us fifty years to learn that speaking English, wearing good clothes and going to school and church does not transform a Negro into a white man." (p. 16). "What the Melting Pot actually does in practice can be seen in Mexico, where the absorption of the blood of the original Spanish conquerors by the native Indian population has produced the racial mixture which we call Mexican and which is now engaged in demonstrating its incapacity for self-government. The world has seen many such mixtures and the character of a mongrel race is only just beginning to be understood at its true value." (p. 17). "Whether we like to admit it or not, the result of the mixture of the two races, in the long run, gives us a race reverting to the more ancient, generalized, and lower type. The cross between a white man and an Indian is an Indian; the cross between a white man and a Negro is a Negro; the cross between a white man and a Hindu is a Hindu; and a cross between any of the three European races and a Jew is a Jew." (p. 18). "The same thing happened in our South before the Civil War. There the white men did not work in the fields or in the factory. The heavy work under the blazing sun was carried on by Negro slaves and the planter was spared the exposure to an unfavorable environment. Under these conditions he was able to retain much of his vigor. When slavery was abolished and the white man had to plough in his own fields or work in the factory deterioration began. The change in the type of men who are now sent by the Southein ante-bellum times is partly due to these causes, but in greater degree it is to be attributed to the fact that a large portion of the best racial strains in the South were killed off during the Civil War. In addition the war shattered the aristocratic traditions which formerly secured the selection of the best men as rulers. The new democratic ideals, with universal suffrage in free operation among the whites, result in the choice of representatives who lack the distinction and ability of the leaders o "Under existing conditions the most practical and hopeful method of race improvement is through the elimination of the least desirable elements in the nation by depriving them of the power to contribute to future generations." (p. 53). "In mankind it would not be a matter of great difficulty to secure a general consensus of public opnion as to the least desirable, let us say, ten percent of the community." (p. 54). "It was not the swords in the hands of Columbus and his followers that decimated the American Indians, it was the germs that his men and their successors brought over, implanting the white man's maladies in the red man's world. Long before the arrival of the Puritans in New England, smallpox had flickered up and down the coast until the natives were but a broken remnant of their former numbers." (p. 55). "As in all wars since Roman times the little dark man is the final winner. No one who saw one of our regiments march away on its way to the Spanish War could fail to be impressed with the size and blondness of the men in its ranks as contrasted with the complacent citizen, who from his safe stand on the gutter curb gave his applause to the fighting man and then stayed behind to perpetuate his own brunet type." (p. 74). "In most cases the blood of pioneers has been lost to their race. They did not take their women with them. They either died childless or left half-breeds behind them. The virile blood of the Spanish conquistadores, who are now little more than a memory in Central and South America, died out from these causes. This was also true in the early days of our Western frontiersmen, who individually were a far finer type than the settlers who followed them. In fact, it is said that practically every one of the For "Whenever the incentive to imitate the dominant race is removed the Negro or, for that matter, the Indian reverts shortly to his ancestral grade of culture. In other words, it is the individual and not the race that is affected by religion, education and example. Negroes have demonstrated throughout recorded time that they do not possess the potentiality of progress or iniative from within. Progress from self-impulse must not be confounded with mimickry or with progress imposed from without by social pres "[In South Africa, the English and the Dutch] . . must stand together if they are to maintain any part of Africa as a white man's country, because they are confronted with the menace of an enormous Bantu population which will drive out the whites unless the problem is faced. The only possible solution is to establish large colonies for the Negroes and to allow them outside of them as laborours and not as settlers. There must be ultimately a black South Africa and a white South Africa side by side or else a pure black Africa from the Cape to the cataracts "The native American has always found and finds now in the black men willing followers who ask only to obey and to further the ideals and wishes of the master race, without trying to inject into the body politic their own views, whether racial, religious, or social. Negroes are never socialists or labor unionists and as long as the dominant imposes its will on the servient race and as long as they remain in the same relation to the whites as in the past, the Negroes will be a valuable element in the community but once raised to social equality, their i "The Civil War, however, put a severe, perhaps fatal, check to the development and expansion of this particular type by destroying great numbers of the best breeding stock on both sides and by breaking up the home ties of many more. If the war had not occurred these same men with their descendents would have populated the Western States instead of the racial nondescripts who are now flocking there." (p. 88). "The transportation lines advertised America as a land flowing with milk and honey and the European governments took the opportunity to unload upon careless , wealthy and hospitable America the sweepings of their jails and asylums. The result was that the new immigration, while it still included many strong elements from the north of Europe, contained a large and increasing number of the weak, the broken, and the mentally crippled of all races drawn from the lowest stratum of the Mediterranean basin and t "The native Americans are splendid raw material, but have as yet only an imperfectly developed national consciousness. They lack the instinct of self-preservation in a racial sense. Unless such an instinct develops, their race will perish, as do all organisms that disregard this primary law of nature. Nature had granted to the American of a century ago the greatest opportunity in recorded history to produce in the isolation of a continent a powerfully and racially homogenous people and had provided for th "As to what the future mixture will be it is evident that in large sections of the country the native American will entirely disappear. He will not intermarry with inferior races and he cannot compete in the sweat shop and in the street trench with the newcomers. Large cities from the days of Rome, Alexandria, and Byzantium have always been gathering points of diverse races , but New York is becoming a cloaca gentium which will produce many amazing racial hybrids and some ethnic horrors that will be beyon "A composite picture of this Nordic race and remarkable examples of its best contemporary types can be found in the English illustrated weeklies, which are publishing during this great war the lists and portraits of their officers who have fallen in battle. No nation, not even England although richly endowed with a Nordic gentry, can stand the loss of so much good blood. Here is the evidence, if such be needed, of the actual Passing of the Great Race." (p. 168). "The Nordics are, all over the world, a race of soldiers, sailors, adventurers and explorers, but above all, of rulers, organizers, and aristocrats in sharp contrast to the essentially peasant and democratic character of the Alpines. The Nordic race is domineering, individualistic, self-reliant, and jealous of their personal freedom both in political and religious systems and as a result they are usually Protestants. Chivalry and knighthood and their still surviving but greatly impaired counterparts are p "The social status of woman varies largely with race, but here religion plays a part. In the Roman Republic and in Ancient Germany women were held in high esteem. In the Nordic Countries of to-day, women's rights have received much more recognition than among the southern nations with their tradition of Latin culture." (p. 228). "In the field of art its superiority to both the other European races and in scientific research and discovery the Nordics far excel it. Before leaving this interesting subject of the correlation of spiritual and moral traits with physical characters we may note that these influences are so deeply rooted in everyday consciousness that the moder novelist or playwright does not fail to make his hero a tall, blond, honest and somewhat stupid youth and his villain a small, dark, and exceptionally intelligent "The gods of Olympus were almost all described as blond, and it would be difficult to imagine a Greek artist painting a brunette Venus. In church pictures all angels are blond, while the denizens of the lower regions revel in deep brunetness. "Non angli sed angeli," remarked Pope Gregory when he first saw Saxon children exposed for sale in the Roman slave-mart. In depicting the crucifixion no artist hesitates to make the two thieves brunet in contrast to the blond Saviour. This is something more than a co "The wars of the past two thousand years in Europe have been almost exclusively wars between the various nations of this race or b etween rulers of Nordic blood. From a race point of view the present European conflict is essentially a civil war and nearly all of the officers and a large proportion of the men on both sides are members of the same race. It is the same old tragedy of muutual destruction between Nordics, just as the Nordic nobility of Renaissance Italy seems to have been possessed with a bloo "We Americans must realize that the altruistic ideals which have controlled our social development during the past century and the maudlin sentimentalism has made America "an asylum for the opressed," are sweeping the nation toward a racial abyss.

This mode of thought played a significant part in the American doctrine of Manifest Destiny which drove much of American foreign policy at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. It also lay behind the imperialist justifications of England and Germany--countries of "racial cousins" run by literal cousins. Kaiser Wilhelm was Queen Victoria's grandson. The following passages and footnotes from _The Lucifer Principle_ may come in handy: Friedrich Naumann was typical of those who gloated over teutonic good fortune. Said he, "The German race brings it. It brings army, navy, money and power. ...Modern, gigantic instruments of power are possible only when an active people feels the spring-time juices in its organs." Albert Beveridge, an influential American senator at the turn of the century, had a habit of making statements like the following: "[God] has made us the master organizers of the world to establish system where chaos reigns.... He has made us adept in government that we may administer government among savage and senile peoples.... He has marked the American people as His chosen Nation to finally lead in the regeneration of the world. This is the divine mission of America... We are trustees of the world's progress, guardians of its righteous peace." ------------------------------ notes Paul Kennedy, The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, p. 211. Barbara Tuchman, The Proud Tower, pp. 177-78. quoted in William L. Shirer, 20th Century Journey; A Memoir of a Life and the Times, Volume I, The Start, 1904-1930, p. 68. Such policies are shaped to fit the geo-political concerns and unresolved historical issues of the specific countries and times: Grant recasts the American Civil War and the First World War as civil wars between the Nordic aristocracy, a manifestation of Berserker blood-lust that bleeds dry the Master Race, allowing inferior races to sap the vital lifeforce, culture, and morality of the elite. Grant notably presses various 'hot-buttons' including the need for education; fear of moral decline; formation of ethnic enclaves; the superiority of aristocratic systems versus democracy; patriotism; fear of America sliding down the 'pecking order' of international nations etc. hb: Here's another quote from The Lucifer Principle. Note how Nordau's hysteria on the subject of cultural decline parallels Grant's: The English knew they were in trouble, but they didn't know why. Then Max Nordau uncovered the real cause. The culprits behind Britain's fall? Modern philosophy, modern art and modern novels. As historian Barbara Tuchman puts it in The Proud Tower, Through six hundred pages of mounting hysteria, he [Max Nordau] traced the decay lurking impartially in the realism of Zola, the symbolism of Mallarme, the mysticism of Maeterlinck, in Wagner's music, Ibsen's dramas, Manet's pictures, Tolstoy's novels, Nietzche's philosophy, Dr. Jaeger's woolen clothing, in Anarchism, Socialism, women's dress, madness, suicide, nervous diseases, drug addiction, dancing, sexual license, all of which were combining to produce a society without self-control, discipline or shame which was 'marching to its certain ruin because it is too worn out and flaccid to perform great tasks.' --------------- Barbara Tuchman, The Proud Tower: A Portrait of the World Before the War: 1890-1914, pp. 37-38. Similar blind rhetoric informs aspects of contemporary debate on the effects of NAFTA, and border disputes between Mexico and the United States. hb: very good point. Grant's scheme of racial stratification, and his firm belief that moral codes, intelligence, and cultural superiority are largely racially determined (and the basis for longterm civilization stability and regeneration) is the kind of psuedo-scientific 'logic' which created the 'apartheid' system of South Africa and enabled the NSDAP to class the Jews as sub-human, leading to the horrors of Belsen, Treblinka, and Auschwitz. The only difference was in the means employed, not the end: Grant argued for sterilization, Hitler took a more quicker, direct method, of total annihilation. hb: More good points. Another reference you may find helpful if you continue to pursue this subject is the work of Stephen Jay Gould, who seemingly manages to squeeze one or more essays on the topic of "scientific racism" into every volume he writes. The Gould book which contains more on this subject than any other I know of is _The Mismeasure of Man_, New York: Norton, 1981. Also you might find something of value in the following essay I wrote for my Spin Online column in Janaury of 1997: Viking rockers, the Aryan Nation, the Ku Klux Klan, the European and American Nazi parties, and the Serbian nationalists all have something in common. They are frothing at the mouth to resurrect an ancient purity and relive "histories" which destine them to be a chosen race. But the purity is a delusion and the histories are almost always false. One of my closest friends is enormously proud of his Aryan heritage. Its nobility can be traced back over a thousand years. His skin color? So brown he might easily be mistaken for an African American. My friend is a descendent of the unlettered Aryan cattle-herders who crossed the mountain passes of the Hindu Kush in roughly 1,500 BC, descended on the highly-cultured Indus Valley, destroyed its cities, and went on to conquer most of India. Later these charioteers invented a Nazi- like religion in which they were the ubermenschen--the supermen--and all others were subhuman. They called themselves Brahmins and their creed Hinduism. Any native Indian who dared speak to a Brahmin had a red-hot poker stuffed down his throat. Any native Indian who sat where a Brahmin was accustomed to parking his butt was given the glowing poker as a rectally- inserted souvenir. What of my friend's "racial purity"? It is nil. His warrior ancestors were originally snow white. Hindu law forbade a colored man--a native Dravidian--from marrying a daughter of the master-race. (The Hindu word for caste, varna, literally means "color.") But once the invaders had espoused one Brahmin woman, they were allowed to wed as many dark-skinned girls as pleased them. Several thousand years later, my friend's blood had been considerably thinned. Perhaps one drop in a thousand comes from his illiterate Aryan ancestors. The rest is the legacy of dark-skinned female "inferiors." As for the Aryans of Europe and North America, they are not even able to claim this fragment of a pedigree. The brothers Grimm were a pair of linguists who wrote down peasant recitations of fairy tales in the early 19th century. Their goal was to give 39 or more separate principalities an excuse for unity. The nation they dreamed of creating was Germany. Ironically, the roots of the tales that made a German volk--an imaginary "race"--can often be traced to India. Aryan separatists might be further embarrassed to discover that Aryan and Iranian are virtually the same word. Iran was the Aryan homeland. Even worse, historians contend that Europe's "Aryans" were figments of imagination bequeathed to us by 1850's racists like Joseph Arthur Gobineau. The spawn of innumerable ancient tribes were finally tossed together in 1872 to make the German state--Magyars, Cimbri, Avars, Slavs, Franks, Celts and God-knows-what- all-else. Scan the audience of admirers at a neo-Nazi rally. The number of pimply faces, beer bellies, and below-average intelligences will astound you. This is the genetic refuse of civilization. Most cross-breeds are a relative success. The racial purists tend to be the failures. The Serbs, too, are mutts with a past concocted in recent times. So too are the real Vikings, who set up trading towns along the Volga River, married or raped the local tribal girls, and adopted the civilization of the Byzantine Greeks. Their newly-founded country was, some scholars say, named after their ancestral hair color--Russe, red--hence Russia. Other Vikings took over coastal France, adopted the French culture, married French girls, and by the time their descendants conquered England in 1066 were still called Normans, but had very little Norse blood left. As for the Viking rockers who imagine they are the heirs of a super-race: they are the offspring not of Vikings but of those who were too cowardly or ethical to take to the seas and plunder. Yes, their blood is purer than most. But it is the blood of stay-at-homes. copyright 1997, Howard Bloom Some direct quotes will give a flavour of Grant's 'scholarly objective thinking': "The men who wrote the words, "we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal," were themselves the owners of slaves and despised Indians as something less than human. hb: The Declaration of Independence, from which this line is taken, was written, to quote the Columbia Desk Encyclopedia "almost entirely by Thomas Jefferson." He was, as everyone is aware, a slave owner. As for his attitude toward Indians, "despise" does not at all seem an accurate word. Here's a Lucifer Principle footnote on the topic: Thomas Jefferson wrote a spirited defense of Indians based on his own first-hand and extremely methodical observations. (Among Jefferson's many accomplishments was a detailed analysis of the structural relationships between Indian languages.) One of the criticisms Jefferson addressed was the charge that Indians "have no ardor for their females." Here was the founding father's reply: "It's true they [Indians] do not indulge those excesses, nor discover that fondness which is customary in Europe; but this is not owing to a defect in nature but to manners. Their soul is wholly bent upon war." (From Thomas Jefferson's _Notes On Virginia_], quoted in Daniel J. Boorstin, _Hidden History_, p. 117.) Equality in their minds meant that they were just as good Englishmen as their brothers across the sea. The words "that all men are created equal" have since been subtly falsified by adding the word "free," although no such expression is found in the original document and the teachings based on these altered words in the American public schools of to-day would startle and amaze the men who formulated the Declaration." (pp. xx-xxi). hb: though the term "free" doesn't appear in the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence, I doubt that Jefferson would have objected to the word, since he emphasized the importance of "liberty": "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights; that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." "The refusal of the native American to work with his hands when he can hire or import serfs to do manual labor for him is the prelude to his extinction and the immigrant laborers are now breeding out their masters and killing by filth and by crowding as effectively as by the sword. hb: ah, yes, the seemingly instinctual fear of pollution and contamination, which has shown up in innumberable societies, from that of the Northwest Pacific Yurok Indians to Hitler's Germany. Is this an antique preening instinct gone berserk in creatures capable of disguising primal impulses as philosophy? "It was not the swords in the hands of Columbus and his followers that decimated the American Indians, it was the germs that his men and their successors brought over, implanting the white man's maladies in the red man's world. Long before the arrival of the Puritans in New England, smallpox had flickered up and down the coast until the natives were but a broken remnant of their former numbers." (p. 55). hb: Jared Diamond (in _Guns, Germs, and Steel_) and William McNeil (in _Plagues and Peoples_Plagues and Peoples_ have indicated that this view has a great deal of merit. "[In South Africa, the English and the Dutch] . . must stand together if they are to maintain any part of Africa as a white man's country, because they are confronted with the menace of an enormous Bantu population which will drive out the whites unless the problem is faced. The only possible solution is to establish large colonies for the Negroes and to allow them outside of them as laborours and not as settlers. There must be ultimately a black South Africa and a white South Africa side by side or else a pure black Africa from the Cape to the cataracts of the Nile." (p. 80). hb: Black African racism against whites, disguised as a just anger against a former oppressor, is turning these words into reality in such countries as Kenya and Zimbabwe and soon, if things continue on their current course, in South Africa as well. Note that black racism is also strong against others of color, such as the Indians who as long ago as 1894, when Gandhi spent a year practicing law in South Africa, were maltreated by both the English and the country's blacks. "The native American has always found and finds now in the black men willing followers who ask only to obey and to further the ideals and wishes of the master race, without trying to inject into the body politic their own views, whether racial, religious, or social. Negroes are never socialists or labor unionists and as long as the dominant imposes its will on the servient race and as long as they remain in the same relation to the whites as in the past, the Negroes will be a valuable element in the community but once raised to social equality, their influence will be destructive to themselves and to the whites. If the purity of the two races is to be maintained they cannot continue to live side by side and this is a problem from which there can be no escape." (pp. 87-88). hb: another note on black racism against others in the United States. Louis Farrakhan and his numerous followers have often advocated racial separation and the establishment of a separate black country on this continent. In other words, racism is so universal that underdogs who become overdogs treat those below them with no more mercy than that which was meted out to them. "The transportation lines advertised America as a land flowing with milk and honey and the European governments took the opportunity to unload upon careless , wealthy and hospitable America the sweepings of their jails and asylums. hb: which is exactly how the great white race found itself on America's shores in places like the Maryland colony and even more notably how that wonderful race of blond and blue-eyed ubermenschen found themselves in the penal colony called Australia.
