Local notes

Negroes created in Genesis 1 as apex of the “beast creation” to serve the white race. God created white man in Genesis 2, naming him “Adam” to distinguish him from the Negro, who Adam named “man.” The “serpent” who tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden was a Negro “beast” (p 27). The “Sons of God” of Genesis 6:4 were white descendants of “the Adam”; the “Sons of Man” were Negroes. They committed the unforgivable sin of interbreeding, producing monsters as offspring. Then, because of “amalgamating, miscegenation with the Negro—beast,” God sent the Flood. Negroes were taken aboard the Ark with the other beasts. The Bible states there were only eight “souls” on board (Noah’s family); thus, Negroes don’t have souls—“a line of demarcation so ineffaceable, so indelible besides color, and so plain, between the children of Adam and Eve whom [God] endowed with immortality, and the negro who is of this earth only, that none can efface, and none so blind as not to see it” (pp 64, 157-58, 163).
