      Should racists like Faussette be allowed on this list? I dont think so.

           If the quote had been changed from 'innate natures' (that is: a nature which is inherent and cannot be modified as in a 'created race' rather than an 'evolved race') to 'current relative natures' (reflecting the evolutionary plasticity of each stock making it capable of freely evolving and changing the relativity of those natures) it would be correct - I disregard the prophecy which could accurately be built on observation, not prescience.
          There are racial differences. They have nothing to do with the intrinsic worth of a soul - but they are real evolved differences.

          GRM: Having two wonderful daughters-in-law, who would fall under Morris' definiton of 'hamitic' I couldn't disagree more with what you have written. Each individual is unique, there are no 'racial differences' involved in personality. Did I wake up this morning in the 1950's? I won't reply to any defense of the nonsense above.

          Jay's 2 cents:

          Before we throw labels about, perhaps we should ask how Faussette defines "racial differences".

          To me the differences are superficial but do lend variety and beauty to mankind. Some of the most beautiful of folks are of mixed race.
