The Negro A Beast In The Image Of GOD

black, or that of a mixed-blood in which the white and
the black blood exists in different proportions — alone

The ancients owned neg"roes and with their labor developed
the splendid civilizations, the remains of
which, though often in ruins, are found on every continent
of the earth. Having g-rown rich and powerful,
they forg-ot God, descended to amalgamation and
were destroyed by Divine edict, and their civilizations
laid in ruins, as in the case of the Babylonians,
Assyrians, Ethiopians, etc., or they were absorbed by
amalgamation and their civilizations descended to
their mixed-blooded progeny, as in the case of the
Mexicans, Chinese, Turks, etc. When amalgamation
absorbs the whites and neg-roes of a nation, the physical
and mental characters of the White are blended
with those of the Negro in different proportions among
their mixed-blooded progeny. Hence, as in the case
of our mixed-bloods, they present every shade of complexion.
But, throug-h their marriages among- themselves,
continued for many centuries, the proportion
of white and black blood in the tribe or nation becomes
equally distributed to every member of it. When this
occurs, their physical and mental characters become
fixed. These fixed characters are then transmitted to
their offspring, throug-h the influence of the law of
heredity.
Their progeny would then be nearly white
