ABSTRACT
This government of ours is founded on the white basis. It was made by the white man, for the benefit of the white man, to be administered by white men. … a negro, an Indian, or any other man of inferior race [should be permitted only those] rights, privileges and immunities which he is capable of exercising consistent with the safety of society … the signers of the Declaration … had no reference either to the negro, the savage Indians, the Fejee, the Malay, or any other inferior and degraded race, when they spoke of the equality of men.
