She did make statements like:<br /><br />"Where people seek for social equality between the black and white races, they violate the edicts of the Holy Writ and every social and moral code… Social and political equality would plunge the world into an Inferno as black as the regions of night and as far from the teachings of the New Testament as heaven is from hell. The presumption of the colored people under such conditions would know no bounds... This is white man's country by every law of God and man, and was so determined from the beginning of Creation. Let us not therefore surrender our heritage to the sons of Ham. Perhaps it would be well for white people to take the advice of a great American patriot, Dr. Hiram Wesley Evans and repeal the Fifteenth Amendment. The editor of The Good Citizen would be with him in this."<br /><br />I think it's entirely plausible, though, that she initially started supporting the KKK only because of its anti-Catholic, pro-temperance, pseudo-feminist, etc. views, and only after hooking up with them did she absorb their views on race. She was also an extreme anti-Semite, too, and her anti-Semitism and anti-Catholicism were deeply intertwined with one another (her essential worldview revolved around the idea that there was a Judeo-Catholic conspiracy to subvert Protestant America and take over the world, and only the KKK could stop this from happening).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24288613.post-16789639012180792912009-06-17T04:21:44.587-04:002009-06-17T04:21:44.587-04:00Glad to have been able to make the MIDI for you.
