0:19
Speaker 1: his Veins by W. L. Hunter introduction. Because it is
0:25
Speaker 1: generally taught that the Hamitic race has never done anything
0:29
Speaker 1: worthy of note in the world, and because it is
0:33
Speaker 1: also generally taught, even in our schools, that these people
0:37
Speaker 1: never were anybody. For these reasons given above, the author
0:41
Speaker 1: has written and sent forth this book. The book has
0:45
Speaker 1: been revised and enlarged. It contains much new matter that
0:50
Speaker 1: is not found in the old book. Aside from proving
0:53
Speaker 1: that Jesus Christ had Negro blood in his veins, it
0:57
Speaker 1: also shows that David and Solomon both married black women.
1:01
Speaker 1: It is also proven that Solomon's temple was built by
1:04
Speaker 1: a Negro, and that a Negro was the founder of Freemasonry,
1:09
Speaker 1: and that the first righteous priest that is recorded upon
1:13
Speaker 1: Earth was a black man. The American religion is reviewed
1:18
Speaker 1: in the light of the scriptures and the amount lost
1:21
Speaker 1: to the laborer through unjust deal. End of introduction Chapter
1:34
Speaker 1: one of Jesus Christ had Negro Blood in his veins
1:40
Speaker 1: by W. L. Hunter. This LibriVox recording is in the
1:44
Speaker 1: public domain. Chapter one. In these times when so much
1:49
Speaker 1: is being set and done against the Hamitic race by
1:52
Speaker 1: the learned the unlearned, by teachers, professors, and statesmen, trying
1:57
Speaker 1: to impress upon the world the idea that the black
2:00
Speaker 1: black man never was anybody, and there never was anything
2:03
Speaker 1: of note connected with his history, and going so far
2:06
Speaker 1: as to even deny the possibility of his ever being
2:09
Speaker 1: fit to associate with the rest of mankind, no matter
2:13
Speaker 1: what his education, religion, or refinement might be, and speaking
2:17
Speaker 1: of him as though he had always been dishonorable in
2:20
Speaker 1: the estimation of mankind and in the estimation of his God.
2:24
Speaker 1: I've thought it necessary, therefore, in these times, when every
2:26
Speaker 1: man's hand seems to be against the Negro, trying to
2:29
Speaker 1: crush him and to sink him into oblivion, to show
2:32
Speaker 1: that he has been honored by the greatest men of
2:34
Speaker 1: earth and by his God. The Lord God not only
2:38
Speaker 1: honored the black man by allowing him to bear the
2:41
Speaker 1: cross of Jesus Christ, which he did when white men
2:44
Speaker 1: were leading him away to lynch or to murder him,
2:47
Speaker 1: as they did the prophets who were before him. And
2:50
Speaker 1: as they lynched all of the apostles excepting one, God
2:53
Speaker 1: honored him by allowing or having his son, Jesus Christ
2:57
Speaker 1: carried Negro blood in his veins. The black man, while
3:01
Speaker 1: bearing the cross for Christ and following after him, represents
3:04
Speaker 1: the whole Christian Church bearing the cross and following after Christ.
3:08
Speaker 1: But he had the Christian's badge and glory upon him,
3:11
Speaker 1: For the Cross of Christ is the Christian's badge and
3:14
Speaker 1: glory everywhere, and it represents the Church itself. And a
3:17
Speaker 1: black man was the first to wear that badge in
3:19
Speaker 1: the world that Jesus came to save. And to the
3:22
Speaker 1: writer's mind, this was great honor indeed. But we started
3:26
Speaker 1: out to prove that Jesus Christ had the blood of
3:28
Speaker 1: Ham in his veins, which we will do. Shem was
3:31
Speaker 1: the progenitor of the Patriarch's prophets, of the Jews, and
3:34
Speaker 1: of Christ, and all these accounts. The renown of the
3:37
Speaker 1: house of Shem has been great in all the earth.
3:39
Speaker 1: And into this renowned family, Ham the black Man married,
3:43
Speaker 1: and he too, thereby became the ancestor of David and
3:46
Speaker 1: of Christ. This brings us to the thought that the
3:49
Speaker 1: black and white people have always intermixed. Their intermixing dates
3:53
Speaker 1: as far back as Abraham, for Abraham's son Ishmael was
3:57
Speaker 1: born of Hagar of Egypt, a black woman. Sixteenth Chapter. Joseph,
4:02
Speaker 1: a son of Jacob and Rachel, the great and wise
4:04
Speaker 1: governor under Pharaoh, who saved so many thousands from starvation
4:08
Speaker 1: and death, married a black woman. Moses, the great Hebrew
4:11
Speaker 1: legislator and lawgiver, married a black woman. Samson, a deliverer
4:15
Speaker 1: and judge of Israel for twenty years, married a Philistine woman.
4:19
Speaker 1: And the Philistines were black people, they being the descendants
4:22
Speaker 1: of ham Salmon, a chief man of the tribe of Judah,
4:25
Speaker 1: married to Canaanite, a descendant of Canaan, a black man
4:29
Speaker 1: due to himself, the tribe of whom Christ was to
4:31
Speaker 1: come married to Canaanite, a black woman. I speak of
4:34
Speaker 1: these not because I favor the mixing of the races
4:37
Speaker 1: so much, but to show that it is not an
4:39
Speaker 1: unheard of thing, and to show that Jesus Christ had
4:42
Speaker 1: plenty of Hamitic blood in him. I speak of it
4:45
Speaker 1: secondly because there are such great efforts being made at
4:48
Speaker 1: the present time to keep the two races apart in churches, schools, restaurants, hotels,
4:53
Speaker 1: steam cars, trolley cars, and everywhere excepting in heaven and hell.
4:58
Speaker 1: And many white men are opposed to their being together
5:00
Speaker 1: in heaven, and if it were in their power, they
5:02
Speaker 1: would try to induce the Lord to put all of
5:05
Speaker 1: the dark skinned people in some back street and build
5:07
Speaker 1: a high fence between them and the white people. I
5:11
Speaker 1: mentioned the characters above to show that the white and
5:13
Speaker 1: black races have been intermixing as far back as nineteen
5:16
Speaker 1: hundred and ten years before Christ, and the Hamitic women,
5:20
Speaker 1: in marrying such men as Joseph, Moses, Sampson, Judah, Salmon,
5:24
Speaker 1: David and Solomon, have married the greatest men that the
5:27
Speaker 1: earth has yet produced. And even away back in the
5:29
Speaker 1: dark ages, we can see the fondness of white men
5:32
Speaker 1: toward black women, and that fondness has never died out.
5:36
Speaker 1: The intermixing of the two colors is almost as those
5:38
Speaker 1: as the races themselves. They always have mixed and always
5:41
Speaker 1: will if there is no law against their marrying. They
5:44
Speaker 1: were mixed lawfully in some cases. If there is legislative
5:47
Speaker 1: law against their marrying, they will mixed unlawfully, as in
5:50
Speaker 1: the Southern States of America. They have been intermixing for
5:54
Speaker 1: thousands of years, and are still intermixing in every country
5:57
Speaker 1: where the two races exist, and will till the end
5:59
Speaker 1: of time. Love is a passion of the human heart
6:02
Speaker 1: that is inflamed by whoever delights it. And this passion
6:05
Speaker 1: of the human heart can never be controlled by any
6:07
Speaker 1: law that man can make. No lock and key will
6:09
Speaker 1: ever hold or keep it from the object that delights it.
6:12
Speaker 1: No chains nor iron bars will ever keep love from
6:15
Speaker 1: its object. Even death itself cannot destroy love. The children
6:19
Speaker 1: of Israel broke divine law and married black people. In
6:22
Speaker 1: Old Canaan, Samson was one of those who broke divine law,
6:26
Speaker 1: married to Philistine woman, and the Philistines were black people,
6:29
Speaker 1: they being the descendants of Ham. But I must get
6:32
Speaker 1: back to the subject. Was Ham a black man? And
6:34
Speaker 1: was his blood in the veins of Jesus Christ? If so,
6:37
Speaker 1: how can we prove it? Well? We first say that,
6:40
Speaker 1: according to history, cyclopedias, and Bible dictionaries, that Ham, a
6:44
Speaker 1: son of Noah, was born black. And if Ham was
6:46
Speaker 1: born black, his sons must also have been black. Ham
6:49
Speaker 1: was the father of four sons, Kush, Misraem, Put, and Canaan.
6:54
Speaker 1: First Chronicles, first chapter. Kush Put and Misraem settled in
6:58
Speaker 1: different parts of Africa. Canaan settled in the southern part
7:01
Speaker 1: of Asia. They were the primitive settlers in said countries
7:04
Speaker 1: after the flood. Ham was the ancestor of the Canaanites,
7:08
Speaker 1: Southern Arabians, Ethiopians, and Egyptians. Genesis tenth chapter from the
7:12
Speaker 1: sixth to the twenty verses Canaan being a black man,
7:16
Speaker 1: and his tribe being the first to settle in the
7:18
Speaker 1: southern part of Asia, which was afterwards called the land
7:21
Speaker 1: of Canaan. Therefore, all the people who inhabited O Canaan
7:25
Speaker 1: prior to the entering of the Israelites under Joshua for
7:28
Speaker 1: black people, for there were no other people in O
7:30
Speaker 1: Canaan excepting the Canaanites, the descendants of Canaan, a black man. Well,
7:35
Speaker 1: says one, what has that to do with Jesus Christ
7:37
Speaker 1: having nebal blood in his veins? Very much, as we
7:40
Speaker 1: shall show further on now, the scriptures teach us that
7:44
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ was to come and did come of the
7:46
Speaker 1: tribe of Judah. The fourth senator Jacob and Lee born
7:49
Speaker 1: in Mesopotamia BC. Seventeen fifty five. The scriptures plainly teach
7:54
Speaker 1: that Christ was of this tribe. Oh Jacob himself, when
7:57
Speaker 1: he was blessing his sons just before his death, said
7:59
Speaker 1: that the scepter should not depart from Judah, nor a
8:02
Speaker 1: lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come, and no
8:05
Speaker 1: un to him shall the gathering of the people be.
8:08
Speaker 1: Genesis forty, ninth chapter and tenth verse. This Judah had
8:12
Speaker 1: two sons by a cana Nightish woman whose name was Tamar.
8:16
Speaker 1: She was a descendant of Canaan, a black man. The
8:18
Speaker 1: names of these two sons were Fairies and Zara. The
8:21
Speaker 1: name of Fairies, a half white and a half black
8:24
Speaker 1: or mulatto man, appears in the Generation of Jesus Christ Matthew,
8:28
Speaker 1: first chapter and third verse, so the reader can see
8:31
Speaker 1: plainly that Judah, of whom Christ was to come, starts
8:34
Speaker 1: off by presenting to the world a child by a
8:37
Speaker 1: cana Nitish woman who was a negress. This royal family
8:40
Speaker 1: begins with a child by a white man and a
8:42
Speaker 1: black woman. Matthew, first chapter and third verse. Having shown
8:46
Speaker 1: the reader that Judah married a cana Knitish woman, a Negress,
8:49
Speaker 1: and that the two children spoken of in that chapter
8:52
Speaker 1: referred to above were also children of a Negress. And
8:55
Speaker 1: after stating that Judah had no other children, accepting those
8:59
Speaker 1: that were by Canaan Naddish women, First Chronicles, second chapter,
9:03
Speaker 1: third and fourth verses, we can say, without fear of
9:06
Speaker 1: contradiction that the statement we make declaring that Jesus Christ
9:09
Speaker 1: had Negro blood in his veins is true because the
9:12
Speaker 1: Canaanites were black people, they being descendants of Canaan. We
9:16
Speaker 1: now proceed to show that another black woman married into
9:19
Speaker 1: this royal family of whom Christ came. Ray Hab, who
9:23
Speaker 1: married Salmon, our chief man of the tribe of Judah,
9:26
Speaker 1: was a black woman. They had a child whose name
9:28
Speaker 1: was Boaz. He married Ruth. This Rayhab was a Canaanite,
9:32
Speaker 1: a descendant of Canaan, who was a son of Ham.
9:35
Speaker 1: She it was who hid the spies that were sent
9:37
Speaker 1: into the land of Canaan by Joshua. Her life, with
9:40
Speaker 1: the lives of her kindred, were saved when the city
9:42
Speaker 1: of Jericho was taken and destroyed Joshua. Second chapter, twenty
9:46
Speaker 1: first verse. Rayhab became a converted woman and married Salmon,
9:50
Speaker 1: a chief man of the tribe of Judah, as we
9:52
Speaker 1: have stated, and thereby became the ancestress of David and
9:55
Speaker 1: of Christ. We now present the third woman of the
9:58
Speaker 1: Hamitic race who married into the royal family of whom
10:01
Speaker 1: Christ came, Bath Sheeba, whom David took for a wife,
10:04
Speaker 1: had formerly been the wife of Uriah, a black soldier.
10:08
Speaker 1: She was the mother of Solomon. We are taught that
10:10
Speaker 1: the name Bathsjeba means a daughter or woman of Sheba,
10:13
Speaker 1: and that means that she was a descendant of Kush,
10:16
Speaker 1: a son of ham. The fourth black woman that married
10:18
Speaker 1: into this royal family of whom Christ came was Solomon's
10:22
Speaker 1: lawful wife. She was an Egyptian woman, a daughter of Pharaoh,
10:25
Speaker 1: King of Egypt, First Kings, third chapter, first verse. Therefore,
10:29
Speaker 1: in the generation of Jesus Christ we have the blood
10:31
Speaker 1: of four Negro women. Now, from the facts that have
10:34
Speaker 1: been stated above, we have clear proof that Jesus Christ
10:37
Speaker 1: came nearer being a black man than a white man,
10:39
Speaker 1: or at least a very dark man, by reason of
10:42
Speaker 1: all the above named Hamitic women marrying into the family
10:45
Speaker 1: of which he came. And we challenge successful contradiction of
10:49
Speaker 1: this statement. Now, the thought that presents itself to us
10:52
Speaker 1: is what will the negro hating white Christians do when
10:55
Speaker 1: he comes to take charge of his church and they
10:57
Speaker 1: find that he is a black savior? The white men
11:00
Speaker 1: worship a black savior, Yet that is what they do
11:03
Speaker 1: every day in the week, and must forever do or
11:05
Speaker 1: have no savior at all. For we have proven in
11:07
Speaker 1: this chapter that the incarnate Savior was nearer a black
11:10
Speaker 1: than white man, and if he was living in the
11:12
Speaker 1: United States of America today, he would be called a negro. Again,
11:16
Speaker 1: we say, what will the negro hating white man do
11:19
Speaker 1: when he comes to judge the world and he the
11:21
Speaker 1: white man, must receive his reward from him, whether it
11:24
Speaker 1: be good or evil? And low he finds him deeply
11:27
Speaker 1: mixed with that race, against whom he has done everything
11:30
Speaker 1: that is mean and wicked that could be thought of
11:32
Speaker 1: under heaven, and is now his judge and rewarder Kings.
11:36
Speaker 1: Not only is this true, there was Omitic blood in
11:39
Speaker 1: all the kings that came of the tribe of Judah,
11:41
Speaker 1: and history says that there were nineteen successive kings in
11:45
Speaker 1: the line of David I've already shown you that David
11:47
Speaker 1: had Emitic blood in him by reason of the actions
11:50
Speaker 1: of Judah and Salmon, both of whom married Canaannidish women
11:54
Speaker 1: who were black people. Know if David had Negro blood
11:56
Speaker 1: in him, so did his son Solomon, and so did
11:59
Speaker 1: all the rest that followed the line of David. You
12:01
Speaker 1: can see then that the descendants of ham have contributed
12:04
Speaker 1: no small quantity of blood to the veins of all
12:06
Speaker 1: the kings of the tribe of Judah, even to the
12:08
Speaker 1: veins of Jesus Christ, the greatest of all kings. Therefore,
12:11
Speaker 1: the Negro has been a factor in the powers that
12:13
Speaker 1: have ruled the earth. Consequently, he has ruled with the
12:16
Speaker 1: white men upon the throne, having their blood mixed. So
12:19
Speaker 1: when you saw David ruling upon the throne, you saw
12:22
Speaker 1: a percentage of ham ruling there also, and a pretty
12:25
Speaker 1: large percentage at that, because for Hamitic women coming into
12:29
Speaker 1: this royal family gives him a pretty large percentage of
12:32
Speaker 1: the blood that ran through the veins of the rulers
12:34
Speaker 1: upon the throne. I speak not now of the Negro's
12:38
Speaker 1: own kings, whose blood was not mixed, who ruled over
12:41
Speaker 1: their own people. For it is known that they had
12:43
Speaker 1: many kings who ruled over people of great wealth and
12:45
Speaker 1: culture in those days. In fact, Egypt led the world
12:48
Speaker 1: in art and science in ancient times. But we particularly
12:51
Speaker 1: call the attention of the reader to the fact that
12:54
Speaker 1: David and all the kings that came of the tribe
12:56
Speaker 1: of Judah had Amdic blood in them, and in the
12:58
Speaker 1: veins of Jesus Christ, the greatest of all kings, the
13:01
Speaker 1: blood of ham was in abundance. Therefore, the black man
13:04
Speaker 1: who helped Christ to bear the cross was helping his
13:07
Speaker 1: own kinsmen. Of course, the scriptures have but little or
13:10
Speaker 1: nothing to say about the color of a man or woman,
13:12
Speaker 1: For in those days a man was spoken of as
13:14
Speaker 1: a man of a certain country, or as a child
13:16
Speaker 1: of a certain man, and there was nothing said about
13:19
Speaker 1: his color at all. He would only know his color
13:21
Speaker 1: by knowing who lived in that country, or by knowing
13:24
Speaker 1: a man's ancestors. This color phobia is more of modern
13:27
Speaker 1: times than We have more of it in America, perhaps
13:30
Speaker 1: than in any other civilized or uncivilized country in the world.
13:33
Speaker 1: And still we have at least seven millions of people
13:35
Speaker 1: in this country who are neither white nor black, and
13:38
Speaker 1: yet they are called negroes. Who is responsible for this
13:41
Speaker 1: burning shame our white brothers who took charge of the
13:44
Speaker 1: black men against his will and started to teach him
13:47
Speaker 1: civilization and religion when they were heathens, And while teaching
13:50
Speaker 1: the black man religion, they robbed him of his color,
13:53
Speaker 1: and this is the result. Look. Look, there were two
13:56
Speaker 1: black men who were teachers and preachers with the Apostles,
13:59
Speaker 1: but color is not mentioned. Yet it is known because
14:02
Speaker 1: of the country from which they came, and theologians and
14:05
Speaker 1: commentators declare that they were black men. They preached to
14:08
Speaker 1: white people too, but there was no tumult over it,
14:11
Speaker 1: because in those times a man was regarded as a
14:13
Speaker 1: man and had his standing according to principle and character,
14:16
Speaker 1: and was not rated according to or by his collar.
14:19
Speaker 1: The names of these two black men who preached and
14:22
Speaker 1: taught with the Apostles were Niger, who was sometimes called Simon,
14:25
Speaker 1: and Lucius Acts thirteenth chapter and first verse. The latter
14:29
Speaker 1: the writer was named after. I think that we have
14:32
Speaker 1: proved that ham has been honored withal. There it was
14:35
Speaker 1: to be honored with he having occupied the highest seat
14:38
Speaker 1: in the royal family, having become the ancestor of Christ
14:41
Speaker 1: because four Hamitic women married into the royal family of
14:44
Speaker 1: which he came, and by proving that black men were
14:46
Speaker 1: set apart and ordained by the apostles to teach and
14:49
Speaker 1: preach with them, Lucius was probably a kinsman of Paul
14:52
Speaker 1: Romans sixteenth chapter and twenty first verse. These men went
14:56
Speaker 1: forth to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. They did
14:59
Speaker 1: not stop to look for a colored gathering to preach to,
15:01
Speaker 1: for there was none. But instead of looking around for
15:03
Speaker 1: a colored race to preach to, they recognize the fact
15:06
Speaker 1: that there was only one race that Jesus came to save,
15:09
Speaker 1: and that was the human race. And to that race Niger,
15:12
Speaker 1: who was called Simon and Lucius preached. I think secondly
15:16
Speaker 1: that we have proven that Jesus Christ had Negro blood
15:18
Speaker 1: in him, because, as we have said, Judah, the tribe
15:21
Speaker 1: of whom Christ was to come and did come, had
15:23
Speaker 1: no other children, accepting those he had by cana Knidish women.
15:27
Speaker 1: First Chronicles, second chapter, third and fourth verses. It is
15:30
Speaker 1: accepted by every one wherever the Christian religion is accepted
15:34
Speaker 1: that Christ came of that tribe. And we restate that
15:36
Speaker 1: the Canaanites were black people prophets. Not only did David
15:40
Speaker 1: and Christ come of the tribe of Judah, but many
15:43
Speaker 1: of the prophets came of that tribe. Amos was of
15:45
Speaker 1: that tribe, and some of the leading prophets were of
15:48
Speaker 1: this tribe. In fact, nearly all of the prophets were
15:50
Speaker 1: with and under the kings of Judah, and therefore they
15:53
Speaker 1: must have been of that tribe. And let the reader
15:55
Speaker 1: bear in mind that every man or woman that sprang
15:58
Speaker 1: from the tribe of Judah had Hamitic blood in his veins,
16:00
Speaker 1: whether he was a king of Judge or a prophet,
16:03
Speaker 1: because as stated above, Judah had no children excepting those
16:06
Speaker 1: he had Canaan and Iiish women who were descendants of Canaan.
16:09
Speaker 1: A black man judiciary. The establishment of the system of
16:13
Speaker 1: our courts was born in the brain of a black man.
16:15
Speaker 1: That is, the plan for establishing the inferior, superior, and
16:18
Speaker 1: supreme courts was given to Moses by his father in law, Jethro,
16:22
Speaker 1: a black man. Exodus eighteenth, chapter twenty first to twenty
16:26
Speaker 1: sixth verses. This is the first division of the courts
16:29
Speaker 1: that was ever planned and adopted in the civilized world.
16:32
Speaker 1: As we have said, the system of the judiciary referred
16:34
Speaker 1: to as the product of a enigro's brain. That system,
16:37
Speaker 1: or similar one is in vogue at the present time
16:40
Speaker 1: all over the civilized world. End of chapter one. Chapter

Speaker 1: public domain. Chapter two. Solomon's Temple was built by a Nigro.
17:10
Speaker 1: The greatest house that was ever built upon Earth was
17:13
Speaker 1: built by a Nigro, a house that was honored by
17:16
Speaker 1: the divine creator as no other house has ever been honored.
17:21
Speaker 1: It was built by Hiram of Tire, the widow's son,
17:25
Speaker 1: and be it remembered that the Tyrians were black people.
17:29
Speaker 1: Tire was the celebrated emporium of old Phoenicia. History teaches
17:36
Speaker 1: that there were three of these Hirems of Tire. Two
17:39
Speaker 1: of them were kings. One succeeded the other in office.
17:44
Speaker 1: The first, one of these kings, sent congratulations to David
17:48
Speaker 1: on his accession to the throne and aided in building
17:52
Speaker 1: his palace. The second was also a friend of David.
17:56
Speaker 1: He furnished essential aid in the building of Solomon's temple.
18:01
Speaker 1: He provided timber stone and immense amount of gold. The
18:06
Speaker 1: third one of these Hirams or Hurrums, was a skillful artificer,
18:11
Speaker 1: and his mother was a Jewish. His father was a Tarian,
18:15
Speaker 1: a man of the Hamitic race, Because as stated above,
18:19
Speaker 1: the old Phoenicians were black people, they being descendants of ham. Haram,
18:26
Speaker 1: the widow's son was of this people. Second Chronicles, second chapter,
18:31
Speaker 1: in fourteenth verse, all of the interior decorations and utensils
18:36
Speaker 1: of Solomon's temple were made under the direction of Haram.
18:40
Speaker 1: First King's seventh chapter, thirteenth and fourteenth verses. We here
18:46
Speaker 1: mentioned just a little of his work in the temple.
18:49
Speaker 1: He cast two pillars of brass eighteen cubits high, and
18:54
Speaker 1: set them up in the porch of the temple. He
18:57
Speaker 1: called the right pillar Jokin, and the left pillar Boaz.
19:03
Speaker 1: He made a molten sea ten cubits from one brim
19:07
Speaker 1: to the other, and it stood upon twelve oxen, three
19:10
Speaker 1: looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three
19:14
Speaker 1: toward the south, and three looking toward the east. He
19:18
Speaker 1: made cherubim, lions and palm trees. This gives some idea
19:23
Speaker 1: of the work done by this great and wonderful man,
19:27
Speaker 1: who in this day would be called a Nigro. I've
19:30
Speaker 1: not mentioned one third of the work that was done
19:33
Speaker 1: by Hiram in the temple. We've mentioned him together with
19:37
Speaker 1: some of his great works, to show that the Hamitic
19:40
Speaker 1: race has contributed to the Church and stayed from ancient
19:44
Speaker 1: times up to the present time. All of the real
19:47
Speaker 1: grandeur beauty of the greatest house ever built was built
19:51
Speaker 1: by a Nigro. It has been said by some historians
19:55
Speaker 1: that if the kings of old Phoenicia, a land of
19:58
Speaker 1: black people, have given the aid that they did, it
20:02
Speaker 1: is doubted that the temple ever would have been built. Certainly,
20:06
Speaker 1: there never would have been such a one built as
20:09
Speaker 1: was built, had it not been for the timber stone
20:12
Speaker 1: and the great amount of gold that was furnished Solomon
20:16
Speaker 1: by Hiram, a black king of Tire, and the work
20:20
Speaker 1: done by the master workman in the person of Hiram
20:23
Speaker 1: the widow's son, whom we said was a Nigro because
20:27
Speaker 1: he was a son of a black man and a
20:29
Speaker 1: white woman. And all such at the present time are
20:33
Speaker 1: called nigroes. Free masonry. Free masonry is said to have
20:40
Speaker 1: started that Solomon's temple by Hiram of Tire, the widow's son.
20:44
Speaker 1: If that be true, then free masonry was given to
20:47
Speaker 1: the world by a Nigro. And we think this is
20:50
Speaker 1: true because Hiram is referred to by may since as
20:54
Speaker 1: no other man, and his works in the temple are
20:57
Speaker 1: also referred to by may sins more than the works
21:00
Speaker 1: of any other man, especially his work such as making
21:03
Speaker 1: the great pillars of brass and setting them up in
21:06
Speaker 1: the porch of Solomon's temple, and giving to them such
21:09
Speaker 1: time honored names, one he called Jakin and the other
21:14
Speaker 1: he called Boaz. Free Masons in every nation have honored
21:19
Speaker 1: these names, and have ever honored the name of Hiram
21:22
Speaker 1: as well. But little did or does many of them
21:25
Speaker 1: who do such honor to the name and memory of
21:28
Speaker 1: Hiram know that he was the son of a black man.
21:32
Speaker 1: I've been told that the Free Masons in America, the
21:36
Speaker 1: white members of it, do not want to recognize the
21:38
Speaker 1: colored men who are Masons, not knowing or forgetting that
21:42
Speaker 1: are colored men was the founder of free Masonry. I
21:47
Speaker 1: think if many of the American white men had known this,
21:50
Speaker 1: that they never would have become members of that fraternity
21:53
Speaker 1: because of their great prejudice the Hamitic race will have
21:58
Speaker 1: to claim this wonderful man, Hiram of Tire, because it
22:01
Speaker 1: is the rule that children take the name of their
22:04
Speaker 1: father and our classed on his side. It is the
22:07
Speaker 1: rule in America to call such children negroes priests. The
22:13
Speaker 1: first priest that is recorded upon Earth was a Canaan knight,
22:17
Speaker 1: a black man, in the person of Melchizedek. Of course,
22:22
Speaker 1: no one knows when he was born nor when he died,
22:24
Speaker 1: because there was no record kept of him, but that
22:28
Speaker 1: he was a Canaanite is pretty certain, first because he
22:32
Speaker 1: had a Canaanitish name. Secondly, he lived in Old Canaan,
22:36
Speaker 1: a land of black people, and at that time there
22:39
Speaker 1: were no white people living in Old Canaan, excepting Abraham
22:44
Speaker 1: and his family that history gives any account of. For
22:49
Speaker 1: further proof that Melchizedek was a Canaanite, see the Bible
22:53
Speaker 1: Handbook by Joseph Angus, Doctor of Divinity, a member of
22:58
Speaker 1: the Royal Asiatic Society, page one hundred and fifty two.
23:03
Speaker 1: Melchizedek was a king of Salem, also priest of the
23:07
Speaker 1: Most High God, in which capacity he blessed Abraham. Genesis fourteenth,
23:13
Speaker 1: chapter seventeenth to twentieth verses. He was a royal priest
23:18
Speaker 1: by the appointment of God. Thus he was a type
23:21
Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ to his priest forever after the order
23:25
Speaker 1: of Melchizedic, and not after the order of Erin read
23:29
Speaker 1: Hebrews seventh chapter, Melchizedek was a friend of Abraham and
23:34
Speaker 1: of a rank elevated above him. There had been men
23:37
Speaker 1: who offered sacrifices in their families, but there had been
23:42
Speaker 1: no divinely appointed priest before Melchizedek, the Canaanite, that we
23:46
Speaker 1: can find on record anywhere here. Ham was honored not
23:51
Speaker 1: by men, but by the Lord God himself. The Lord
23:54
Speaker 1: God has taught that the Hamitic race was fit for
23:58
Speaker 1: something higher than the drawing of water and the hewing
24:01
Speaker 1: of wood. And some of them always did and always
24:04
Speaker 1: will hold some better place than that, and no prejudices
24:08
Speaker 1: or persecution will keep them from it, for some of
24:11
Speaker 1: them are bound to get there. End of chapter two.
24:23
Speaker 1: Chapter three of Jesus Christ had negro blood in his
24:27
Speaker 1: veins by W. L. Hunter. This LibriVox recording is in
24:33
Speaker 1: the public domain. Chapter three. I do not write this
24:38
Speaker 1: book from a spirit of bigotry, but it is a
24:42
Speaker 1: matter of history, which I think will be interesting to
24:45
Speaker 1: some people. I present it to the world of mankind,
24:49
Speaker 1: and in sending it forth, I challenge successful contradiction I've
24:54
Speaker 1: undertaken to champion the black man's cause in a different way,
24:59
Speaker 1: perhaps any man that has ever started out to write
25:02
Speaker 1: upon this ever perplexing race question. Secondly, I send it
25:08
Speaker 1: forth to the world because the white man of this
25:11
Speaker 1: country hates his black brother and punishes him because God
25:15
Speaker 1: Almighty chose to make him black. The only excuse they
25:19
Speaker 1: give for their inhuman treatment to the black man is
25:22
Speaker 1: his color. And in their maltreatment of them because of
25:26
Speaker 1: their color, they have condemned God, who made the color,
25:30
Speaker 1: and they punish the Negro for having the color. For they,
25:34
Speaker 1: the white people, have made it the cause of their
25:36
Speaker 1: actions toward the Negro, upon all occasions, everywhere and at
25:41
Speaker 1: all times. I send it forth. Thirdly, because there is
25:45
Speaker 1: a disposition in this country to undervalue all that the
25:49
Speaker 1: Negro has done before the war, and since they undervalue
25:53
Speaker 1: all that he has done to increase the wealth of
25:56
Speaker 1: the nation, it all counts for nothing. He bore the
25:59
Speaker 1: white man's burden for two hundred and forty seven years,
26:03
Speaker 1: but it is not remembered. He cleared the forest for him,
26:07
Speaker 1: drove out the great beasts, built houses, barns, churches, and
26:12
Speaker 1: school houses for his white brother. He made the bread
26:16
Speaker 1: and paid for the college education of his white brother.
26:21
Speaker 1: All this has merited nothing but the worst name and
26:25
Speaker 1: the meanest treatment that Hell itself could devise, has been
26:29
Speaker 1: poured upon the Negro, without being mixed with the least
26:32
Speaker 1: degree of mercy. The black man has fought in all
26:35
Speaker 1: the wars that the nation has had, and he did
26:38
Speaker 1: his part well. He has allowed his blood to be
26:41
Speaker 1: poured out like water upon the ground in defense of
26:44
Speaker 1: this government, only to be denied the most common rights
26:48
Speaker 1: of a man. This government for which they fought, bled
26:52
Speaker 1: and dyed, now refuses absolutely to protect them in the
26:56
Speaker 1: exercise of their rights. I do not believe that there
26:59
Speaker 1: is is another nation on earth that is so ungrateful.
27:04
Speaker 1: They have appealed to the government again and again, but
27:07
Speaker 1: it has absolutely refused to grant them any protection, either
27:11
Speaker 1: to men, women, children, or to their property. And thus
27:15
Speaker 1: thousands upon thousands of these people have been murdered by
27:18
Speaker 1: the white men of this country because they were powerless
27:21
Speaker 1: to help themselves, and because God Almighty made them black people.
27:28
Speaker 1: They don't want them to hold office for fear of
27:30
Speaker 1: misrule and domination. And we say, if their misrule can
27:34
Speaker 1: be exceeded, God only knows where the pattern is to
27:37
Speaker 1: come from. Yes, the negro is undefended by the government
27:41
Speaker 1: under which they live. Yes, undefended by the government that
27:44
Speaker 1: they have been loyal to in the times of peace
27:46
Speaker 1: and in the times of war. They are robbed every
27:49
Speaker 1: day in the year only because they are powerless to
27:52
Speaker 1: help themselves. Their white brothers take the advantage of their
27:56
Speaker 1: weakness and inability to help themselves and make life harder
28:00
Speaker 1: for them at every point, and cause the black man
28:02
Speaker 1: to work against individual and organized opposition. Why do I
28:07
Speaker 1: say that these people are robbed every day in the year. Well,
28:10
Speaker 1: his white brother, for he is his brother, has taught
28:13
Speaker 1: his black brother religion and lessons in the Golden rule.
28:17
Speaker 1: He charges his black brother from five to ten dollars
28:20
Speaker 1: more per month for a house to live in than
28:22
Speaker 1: he charged a white man who just moved out of it.
28:25
Speaker 1: Then he pays a black man ten dollars less than
28:27
Speaker 1: he paid a white man to do the same work.
28:29
Speaker 1: This is the way the Golden rule works. Toward his
28:32
Speaker 1: brother in black. The facts stated above would cause a
28:36
Speaker 1: man to lose from fifteen to twenty dollars per month,
28:39
Speaker 1: or two hundred and forty dollars per year, or two
28:42
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars in ten years. That much is unjustly
28:45
Speaker 1: taken from one poor man. Suppose they take that much
28:49
Speaker 1: from one hundred thousand men, that would be two million,
28:52
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars. That number of men would be
28:55
Speaker 1: robbed of in ten years. And they are not the
28:58
Speaker 1: one hundredth part of their work in this kind of
29:01
Speaker 1: business has been going on for nearly forty years. See
29:04
Speaker 1: the millions that these people have been robbed of in
29:07
Speaker 1: just the two methods mentioned above. And his white brother,
29:10
Speaker 1: who taught him religion, calls such treatment as I have
29:13
Speaker 1: just described just right and fair. Can anyone make me
29:18
Speaker 1: believe that Spain ever treated her subjects any worse? Never,
29:22
Speaker 1: or any other nation this side of she O? How
29:26
Speaker 1: can we prove that the man of color has to
29:28
Speaker 1: work against individual and organized opposition? Well, he works against
29:32
Speaker 1: individual opposition because when his white neighbor advertises for help
29:36
Speaker 1: in his place of business, and if Enigro applies for
29:39
Speaker 1: the place or position, he has refused, he cannot get
29:42
Speaker 1: the position as bookkeeper or salesman. Not one white man
29:46
Speaker 1: in a thousand would give him such a position, no
29:48
Speaker 1: matter what the black man's ability might be, or how
29:51
Speaker 1: good his character might be. Yet the black man spends
29:54
Speaker 1: all of his money with him and does not take
29:56
Speaker 1: it away out of the country. That is the way
29:58
Speaker 1: the white man's golden rule works. In this city. White
30:02
Speaker 1: men laugh at the negro's poor and wretched condition and
30:05
Speaker 1: say the reason of their conditions, that they are worthless,
30:08
Speaker 1: when they themselves have closed the avenues against them. Yes,
30:11
Speaker 1: they say that the Nigro has had fair play and
30:13
Speaker 1: ought to have done better. What we say, let the
30:16
Speaker 1: Christians God be the judge in the matter. The half
30:18
Speaker 1: that the black man suffers in this country has never
30:21
Speaker 1: been told. Even the Pulpits are locked against saying anything
30:24
Speaker 1: in condemnation of the inhuman and most damnable treatment which
30:28
Speaker 1: they are subjected to in this country. There are not
30:32
Speaker 1: three preachers in a thousand that would stand up and
30:34
Speaker 1: publicly condemn the hellish deeds that are practiced against a
30:37
Speaker 1: defenseless and most loyal citizen. They preach against Spain's treatment
30:41
Speaker 1: to the Cubans, which was not as bad as the
30:44
Speaker 1: treatment that the Negro receives in the United States, and
30:47
Speaker 1: in some respects was not half so bad. They preach
30:50
Speaker 1: against every sin, accepting the sins of the American white
30:53
Speaker 1: people against the black people. I do not wish to
30:56
Speaker 1: misrepresent anyone nor the condition of the Negro. Neither would
30:59
Speaker 1: I try to make it appear that all Nigroes are
31:02
Speaker 1: perfect saints. They have their tramps and criminals, just the
31:05
Speaker 1: same as other people, but no more than other people.
31:08
Speaker 1: In many parts of this country, when one of them
31:10
Speaker 1: is accused of a crime, he has not allowed a
31:12
Speaker 1: chance to prove whether he is guilty or not. But
31:15
Speaker 1: after a verdict about jury that was filled with prejudice
31:18
Speaker 1: from their birth, he is hurried off to prison, or
31:20
Speaker 1: they make a bondfire of him while yet alive, without
31:23
Speaker 1: the least proof of his being guilty. Only the murderers
31:26
Speaker 1: come back from the burning and say that the Negro
31:28
Speaker 1: confess the crime. They tell this while their hands are
31:33
Speaker 1: covered with human blood and their garments smell of death.
31:36
Speaker 1: And the American people take this statement as being satisfactory,
31:39
Speaker 1: and that is the end of it. You may see
31:41
Speaker 1: an account of it in the papers the next day,
31:43
Speaker 1: But you seldom see a word in that paper condemning
31:45
Speaker 1: the unjust, barbaric, and inhuman conduct. You look to the
31:49
Speaker 1: pulpit on Sunday, but not a word will you hear
31:51
Speaker 1: against it. They preach against dancing, a thing that the
31:54
Speaker 1: commandments say nothing against. They preach against going to the theater,
31:58
Speaker 1: a thing that the Commandments say nothing against. They preach
32:01
Speaker 1: against people going to the seaside on Sunday to get
32:04
Speaker 1: a little fresh air, a thing that God has not
32:06
Speaker 1: said a word against. But not one sermon in ten
32:09
Speaker 1: thousand says anything against dragging a man out of bed
32:12
Speaker 1: at night, from his wife and little children, and murdering
32:14
Speaker 1: him before their eyes, without law, without judging, without jury.
32:18
Speaker 1: Not a word, not a word, is said in the
32:20
Speaker 1: pulpit against it. Therefore, we are compelled to say that
32:23
Speaker 1: the white man's religion in the United States is wrong,
32:25
Speaker 1: because he has a religion of race prejudice and race hatred.
32:28
Speaker 1: And such a religion has never saved anyone since the
32:32
Speaker 1: days of Jesus Christ upon earth. All the almost countless
32:36
Speaker 1: thousands that have died with that kind of religion are lost.
32:39
Speaker 1: If the scriptures are true, for it says first John,
32:42
Speaker 1: third chapter and fifteenth verse, that whosoever hateth his brother
32:46
Speaker 1: is a murderer. And we know it says no murderer
32:49
Speaker 1: hath eternal life abiding in him. That means whosoever loveth
32:53
Speaker 1: not his brother, same chapter, fourteenth verse. I wonder how
32:56
Speaker 1: many white Christians that have ever died in this country
32:59
Speaker 1: really loved black brothers, and that were free from race prejudice,
33:03
Speaker 1: And if they died with race prejudice and race hatred,
33:06
Speaker 1: tell me where they are now. And so, according to
33:09
Speaker 1: the teachings of the Bible, all who are now living
33:11
Speaker 1: and hateth anyone on earth are murderers and therefore unsaved
33:15
Speaker 1: now and never can be if they retain race prejudice
33:18
Speaker 1: and race hatred. And I doubt that the American white
33:21
Speaker 1: man ever gives that up, not even in death. I
33:26
Speaker 1: repeat that the religion of the white American is wrong
33:29
Speaker 1: according to the Bible, which he professes to go by
33:31
Speaker 1: First John, second chapter, ninth verse, third chapter and fifteenth verse,
33:35
Speaker 1: fourth chapter, and twentieth verse. His conduct the darker races
33:39
Speaker 1: proves that his religion is full of race prejudices and
33:42
Speaker 1: race hatred. Such a religion has never saved anyone, nor
33:45
Speaker 1: never will if the Bible be true. Moreover, such a
33:48
Speaker 1: religion is not fit to take to the heathen. It
33:51
Speaker 1: would do him more harm than good. For if the
33:53
Speaker 1: heathen accepts of such a religion, he can never be saved,
33:56
Speaker 1: and without it he would stand a better chance for
33:59
Speaker 1: ownly meet. The religion of love will save anyone. But
34:02
Speaker 1: the Nigro will not always play the fool. His day
34:05
Speaker 1: will come. I fully believe that in some perilous times
34:08
Speaker 1: this nation will meet his friendship, and the treatment that
34:10
Speaker 1: he has received will be remembered. Jacob had a good
34:13
Speaker 1: time once at he saw's expense, but there came a
34:15
Speaker 1: time when he dreaded to meet his brother. Esau, the
34:18
Speaker 1: slave of this country, met his master once where the
34:21
Speaker 1: master never expected to meet him, and the meeting was
34:23
Speaker 1: a dreadful one. The white men of this country say
34:26
Speaker 1: that the Negro is rapeful, and that they have to
34:29
Speaker 1: murder them in these unlawful ways in order that they
34:32
Speaker 1: may protect the virtue of their women. Whether writer has
34:34
Speaker 1: nothing to say against any man for protecting his wife
34:37
Speaker 1: and daughter from outrage, and I have no respect for
34:39
Speaker 1: any man who will not protect his family against scoundrels,
34:42
Speaker 1: whether they be white or black. But it has been
34:44
Speaker 1: proven beyond successful contradiction that there has been less than
34:48
Speaker 1: one to the million per adam of the Negro race
34:50
Speaker 1: who has even attempted to commit rape from the end
34:53
Speaker 1: of the Civil War up to nineteen oh three. So
34:56
Speaker 1: you see that the charges made against them as absolutely false.
34:59
Speaker 1: The the other hand, it has been the Negro women
35:01
Speaker 1: who have been wronged by white men. And if they
35:04
Speaker 1: had murdered a white man for every colored woman that
35:06
Speaker 1: they have wronged or outraged, there would be a funeral
35:09
Speaker 1: long enough to reach around the world, and the marching
35:12
Speaker 1: would never cease. But the Negro has waited upon the law,
35:15
Speaker 1: which is dead so far as his redress is concerned.
35:19
Speaker 1: I believe in protecting the virtue of women where it exists,
35:22
Speaker 1: but I believe in protecting the virtue of all women,
35:24
Speaker 1: white and black alike. Anything short of this is downright hypocrisy.
35:29
Speaker 1: Now the writer does not make these charges against all
35:32
Speaker 1: white men. The Negro has many friends in the North
35:34
Speaker 1: and in the South, and they acknowledge their gratitude for
35:37
Speaker 1: what these friends have done, and they are thankful for
35:39
Speaker 1: what they are doing for them. But as they have
35:42
Speaker 1: so many millions who are opposed to them having the
35:44
Speaker 1: rights and enjoyments of a man, And such rights and
35:47
Speaker 1: enjoyments has belonged to every man till we feel bound
35:49
Speaker 1: to speak out and enter our protest. For it does
35:52
Speaker 1: seem to us that ninety eight white men out of
35:55
Speaker 1: every hundred are prejudiced to color in some degree or other.
35:59
Speaker 1: And any man who is prejudice to it another will
36:01
Speaker 1: never willingly concede to that man all that is rightfully his.
36:05
Speaker 1: Any man who is prejudiced for it another man ought
36:08
Speaker 1: never to sit as a juror upon that man's case
36:11
Speaker 1: in court, for he will decide against him just as
36:13
Speaker 1: sure as he takes his seat. Every judge and every
36:16
Speaker 1: lawyer knows that this is true. A prejudice man will
36:19
Speaker 1: and does decide against you before the case is hurt. Yes,
36:23
Speaker 1: he is against you before he gets his boots on
36:25
Speaker 1: in the morning. Thus you can see how little the
36:27
Speaker 1: negro has to hope, for when he is brought in court,
36:32
Speaker 1: the justice will not sleep forever. This same Jesus to
36:35
Speaker 1: whom Ham was related in the flesh, will remember the
36:37
Speaker 1: Negro and the Lord God is and will be found
36:40
Speaker 1: on the side of right and right will prevail just
36:42
Speaker 1: as certain as the heavens stand today, and all that
36:45
Speaker 1: is wrong must and will go down. There is no
36:47
Speaker 1: such thing as the separating of sin from punishment. For
36:50
Speaker 1: whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap, said
36:54
Speaker 1: the Master, And whatsoever a nation soweth, is equally true.
36:58
Speaker 1: I suppose that it was a long time before or
37:00
Speaker 1: Spain could be made to believe that statement of the Master.
37:03
Speaker 1: But I suppose that she has learned her lesson well
37:05
Speaker 1: by this time, and so will this nation learn hers.
37:08
Speaker 1: It is bound to come or God is dethroned and
37:11
Speaker 1: the devil is God. This nation would do well to
37:13
Speaker 1: stop its unjust dealings before it, like Spain, be made
37:17
Speaker 1: to stop by the irresistible God, who will lead whoever
37:20
Speaker 1: he may appoint to bring about a change. The Nigro
37:23
Speaker 1: now appeals to every humane individual in the civilized world
37:27
Speaker 1: to interest themselves in his behalf by saying or doing
37:30
Speaker 1: whatever is necessary to relieve a poor, robbed, oppressed, defenseless,
37:34
Speaker 1: and undefended people. End of Chapter three, Chapter four of
37:47
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ had Negro blood in his veins. By W. L. Hunter,
37:54
Speaker 1: The LibriVox recording is in the public domain survival of
38:02
Speaker 1: the fittest. The question that confronts us now is will
38:07
Speaker 1: the black man survive or live through all the prejudice
38:11
Speaker 1: and persecution that he has to face in this country
38:15
Speaker 1: at the present time. We answer in the affirmative, because
38:19
Speaker 1: there is such a law in nature as the survival
38:22
Speaker 1: of the fittest. Persecution and prejudice will not annihilate any nation, people,
38:29
Speaker 1: or principle that God would have lived or exist upon
38:33
Speaker 1: the face of the earth. The Jews were persecuted in
38:37
Speaker 1: Egypt for a great many years, and their persecution was
38:40
Speaker 1: of the severest kind. Even their children were ordered to
38:44
Speaker 1: be killed at birth. And yet the Hebrews survived under
38:48
Speaker 1: it all and multiplied the more they outlive Phedroh and
38:52
Speaker 1: his government, and are living today and are a mighty
38:56
Speaker 1: power in the financial world. This was because God judge
39:00
Speaker 1: them more fit to live than their persecutors. No persecution
39:05
Speaker 1: and prejudice will not annihilate any nation, people, or principle
39:11
Speaker 1: that is fit to live or exist that has been
39:14
Speaker 1: tried in all ages of the world. A people may
39:18
Speaker 1: be caused to suffer and suffer much as the negro
39:21
Speaker 1: has suffered in this country, and as the Jews suffered
39:24
Speaker 1: in Egypt, but neither has been annihilated by the persecutor.
39:29
Speaker 1: And the Negroes, like the Jews, are multiplying as the
39:33
Speaker 1: sands of the seashore. They are the only people that
39:38
Speaker 1: are increasing the American population to any considerable numbers through births.
39:45
Speaker 1: The white population increases through immigration. The Nigroes increase the
39:49
Speaker 1: population through births, notwithstanding the great sufferings and privations through
39:55
Speaker 1: which they have had to come, robbed and cheated and
39:59
Speaker 1: even murdered the thousands, besides having the lucrative doors of
40:03
Speaker 1: the industries closed against him. All other nations, and even
40:08
Speaker 1: the scavengers of other nations, are invited to partake of
40:13
Speaker 1: the good things of America. Everybody and anybody excepting the
40:17
Speaker 1: black man. He is refused a fair chance in life
40:22
Speaker 1: and is shut out. And yet he has lived, and
40:25
Speaker 1: not only lived, but he has improved his condition by
40:29
Speaker 1: improving his mind. He was liberated and left, as it were,
40:33
Speaker 1: naked without a handful of seed corn to plant, and
40:37
Speaker 1: not a piece of land as large as his hand
40:40
Speaker 1: to plant it in. If he had the corn, not
40:44
Speaker 1: a horse or mule or a plow, in all God's world.
40:48
Speaker 1: He did not have a house in which to sleep,
40:50
Speaker 1: and not a dollar in the wide world with which
40:53
Speaker 1: to pay rent. He did not have a tree to
40:56
Speaker 1: stand under to protect himself from the rain. He was
41:00
Speaker 1: also left in ignorance, as dark as the night, because
41:04
Speaker 1: before the war it was a crime punishable by law
41:08
Speaker 1: for anyone to teach him how to read or write.
41:11
Speaker 1: But for all that, he has reduced his illiteracy forty
41:14
Speaker 1: five percent in one generation. Our object was not to
41:19
Speaker 1: have much to say about the treatment which the Negro
41:22
Speaker 1: receives in this chapter, as we have already spoken of
41:26
Speaker 1: it in the first part of this book. Our object,
41:29
Speaker 1: and speaking of it here, is to show that persecution
41:33
Speaker 1: and prejudice will not annihilate him. He is here to stay.
41:38
Speaker 1: The abolitionists of this country started out with the principle,
41:42
Speaker 1: and that principle was opposed by those who were against freedom.
41:47
Speaker 1: The principle that the abolitionists started out with was opposed
41:51
Speaker 1: and fought in every conceivable way that could be thought of.
41:55
Speaker 1: Men and women wrote and spoke against it everywhere and
41:59
Speaker 1: in all parts of the unry. The abolitionists were persecuted
42:02
Speaker 1: in the most severe manner some had their printing presses destroyed.
42:06
Speaker 1: Some were dragged through the streets. John Brown was murdered,
42:10
Speaker 1: Charles Sumner was struck down. In the United States, Senate
42:13
Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln was murdered. The South spent nearly everything it
42:17
Speaker 1: had and lost thousands of its choice sons fighting against
42:21
Speaker 1: a principle that was just and right, and lost the fight.
42:25
Speaker 1: And the principle to which the abolitionists held triumphed because
42:29
Speaker 1: it was the fittest, and therefore it survived. The principle
42:33
Speaker 1: held to by the South. Whatever principle that ought to live,
42:38
Speaker 1: will live and receive recognition of the best people. And
42:41
Speaker 1: all the persecution and prejudice that can be poured upon
42:45
Speaker 1: it cannot exterminate it. Its cause may suffer, but it
42:49
Speaker 1: will never die. This is history, and it has been
42:53
Speaker 1: true in all ages of the human family. There was
42:57
Speaker 1: an effort made once by the majority of mankind to
43:00
Speaker 1: drive the principles of the religion from the face of
43:03
Speaker 1: the earth, many thousands of years before Christ. But the
43:07
Speaker 1: fittest survived, that is, the true religion survived. The principles
43:12
Speaker 1: fell to by her persecutors. This little handful who worshiped
43:16
Speaker 1: the true God was a small minority. They started out
43:20
Speaker 1: against great opposition and met with prejudice and persecution almost everywhere.
43:25
Speaker 1: The persecutors killed the prophets, and later they murdered Jesus Christ,
43:30
Speaker 1: the greatest of all the prophets. They, however, murdered John
43:33
Speaker 1: the Baptist just before him, and later murdered all the
43:37
Speaker 1: apostles excepting one. And still Christianity continued to spread. Men
43:42
Speaker 1: may die, but principles live on. The persecutors may kill men,
43:47
Speaker 1: as they always have done an art doing now, but
43:50
Speaker 1: they can never kill a principle that is just and
43:52
Speaker 1: right and right according to God's rule of right. In
43:56
Speaker 1: the persecution, some Christians were thrown to the wild. Beasts
44:00
Speaker 1: were torn to pieces. Many women were torn to pieces
44:03
Speaker 1: while the milk was seen streaming from the breast. Some
44:06
Speaker 1: men were burned in the fire. Others were tied to
44:08
Speaker 1: two horses, and these horses were driven in opposite directions
44:12
Speaker 1: and pulled the man in two pieces, and others were decapitated.
44:17
Speaker 1: Notwithstanding all this, Christianity continued to grow and flourish. They thought,
44:21
Speaker 1: perhaps when they killed Jesus Christ, that the doctrine of
44:24
Speaker 1: the True and Living God would be done with. But
44:26
Speaker 1: the fire grew larger and Christianity spread. All the more
44:30
Speaker 1: governors and rulers rose up against the principles of the
44:33
Speaker 1: little handful of Christians, and even united their forces against them.
44:37
Speaker 1: But the principles held to by this little band of
44:41
Speaker 1: Christians survived all the powers that opposed them, and conquered
44:45
Speaker 1: and as raised her banner over or in every known
44:49
Speaker 1: nation in the world. And today christ has more than
44:51
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty million Christians in the world. Thus
44:55
Speaker 1: you see the survival of the fittest. We think that
44:59
Speaker 1: we have proven our statement that prejudice and persecution will
45:03
Speaker 1: not annihilate any people or principle that God wants to live.
45:08
Speaker 1: And I think it is fair to say that if
45:09
Speaker 1: God had not wanted the dark skinned people to live,
45:12
Speaker 1: that he never would have made them. When we speak
45:16
Speaker 1: of the survival of the fittest, we mean from the moral, religious, physical,
45:20
Speaker 1: and intellectual viewpoints. As to a man or a nation
45:24
Speaker 1: surviving will depend much upon the moral condition of that
45:27
Speaker 1: man or nation. Immorality has been the cause of the
45:31
Speaker 1: fall of every man, nation, or tribe that has fallen
45:34
Speaker 1: since God made the first man. History furnishes us with
45:38
Speaker 1: the information concerning the wrecks all along the road, beginning
45:41
Speaker 1: with the antediluvian world and coming up to the present time.
45:46
Speaker 1: The cause of the flood which destroyed mankind from the
45:49
Speaker 1: face of the earth was immorality, and Noah and his
45:52
Speaker 1: family survived the whole world of mankind because he was
45:55
Speaker 1: more moral than they. The reader can see in this
45:59
Speaker 1: case also so that the fittest survived. He may also
46:02
Speaker 1: notice in this case, as in all others, that a
46:05
Speaker 1: majority amounts to nothing in the carrying out of this
46:08
Speaker 1: rule their survival of the fittest. That is true of
46:12
Speaker 1: nations that have gone down. This we make as a
46:15
Speaker 1: general statement, without attempting to enumerate them, and we think
46:19
Speaker 1: that all true history will bear us out in the statement.
46:23
Speaker 1: The reader can see that much, and very much, depends
46:26
Speaker 1: upon the moral condition of a people as to whether
46:29
Speaker 1: they will stand or fall well, says one. Do you
46:31
Speaker 1: mean to say that the Nigro is more moral than
46:34
Speaker 1: the white man and therefore it will survive him? I
46:37
Speaker 1: do not say that, But I do say that God
46:39
Speaker 1: has not judged the Negro as being more immoral than
46:43
Speaker 1: the white man, or he never would have helped him.
46:46
Speaker 1: And the negro would never have lived under the great
46:48
Speaker 1: persecution and maltreatment that he has had to endure it
46:52
Speaker 1: for the last two hundred and seventy one years. I
46:56
Speaker 1: say two hundred and seventy one years, because the Negro's
46:59
Speaker 1: persecution has never ceased. It has been continuous before the
47:03
Speaker 1: war and since, and he is by no means annihilated
47:06
Speaker 1: and never will be. So those who hope to see
47:09
Speaker 1: that day will die without the sight. Moreover, in speaking
47:14
Speaker 1: of his morals, I'm sure that they are as high
47:16
Speaker 1: as the white man's. Go into the city and count
47:19
Speaker 1: the houses of dissipation and find out who keeps them
47:22
Speaker 1: and who supports them. Take for an instance five hundred
47:26
Speaker 1: and you will find that at least four hundred and
47:28
Speaker 1: eighty of them are kept in supported by white people.
47:31
Speaker 1: All the gambling houses are kept and supported by white men.
47:35
Speaker 1: And in New York it has now stated that the
47:37
Speaker 1: houses of ill repute are protected by a white police force.
47:42
Speaker 1: Whoever knew a band of Negroes to hold up a
47:45
Speaker 1: train and rob it and the passengers, a thing that
47:48
Speaker 1: is frequently done in America, but not by Negroes. Whoever
47:52
Speaker 1: knew a band of Negroes to tear up the railroad
47:55
Speaker 1: track and cause the train to run off the track
47:57
Speaker 1: and it full of passengers. How many nig have been
48:00
Speaker 1: known to set fire to people's dwellings in the middle
48:03
Speaker 1: of the night and burn it down while the inmates slept.
48:07
Speaker 1: That is frequently done in America almost every week, but
48:09
Speaker 1: not by negroes. Whoever knew a crowd of black men
48:13
Speaker 1: to take a human being, or a horse or a
48:14
Speaker 1: dog out in the woods and burn him up alive.
48:18
Speaker 1: This barbaric act is often done in America or in
48:21
Speaker 1: the United States, but the Negro has not been found
48:23
Speaker 1: guilty of any of these great crimes which I have mentioned.
48:28
Speaker 1: We said that the survival of the fittest implies his
48:32
Speaker 1: religious fitness as well as his moral, physical, and intellectual
48:36
Speaker 1: And if a man's faith is wrong, that means that
48:38
Speaker 1: his religion is wrong. For a man's religion consists of
48:41
Speaker 1: what he believes, and his morals consist of what he does.
48:46
Speaker 1: And if a man's faith is incorrect, his morals will
48:48
Speaker 1: be bad. If therefore, the Negro's faith is correct, the
48:52
Speaker 1: white American will never annihilate him, because his system of faith,
48:55
Speaker 1: if correct, brings him in relationship with God, and that
48:59
Speaker 1: means help for the Negro, And whoever God blesses, no
49:02
Speaker 1: man or nation can curse. Physical the black man is
49:07
Speaker 1: evidently as strong physically as the white man. What he
49:11
Speaker 1: is born up under in the way of hard usage
49:13
Speaker 1: and being half fed and half cared for generally has
49:16
Speaker 1: proven that. Moreover, his physical ability to endure as a
49:20
Speaker 1: soldier in the army is an additional evidence that he
49:24
Speaker 1: is physically as strong as his white brother mentally. Mentally,
49:30
Speaker 1: the Negro has not attained to that development that the
49:33
Speaker 1: white man has attained to as a mass, and no
49:36
Speaker 1: one could expect him in one generation to reach the
49:38
Speaker 1: point of intellectual development that the white man has been
49:43
Speaker 1: more than twenty generations in getting too. But the black
49:46
Speaker 1: man of America has at least shown the possibility of
49:49
Speaker 1: his race. He is shown that he is susceptible of
49:52
Speaker 1: learning anything that any other race of people can learn.
49:56
Speaker 1: The Negro has shown that he has a stronger nervous
49:59
Speaker 1: system than white American has, and the strength of the
50:02
Speaker 1: mind depends upon the strength of the nervous system. Our
50:06
Speaker 1: proof is that the everlasting cry of insanity, the shield
50:09
Speaker 1: and hiding place of crime, is found among negroes. Another
50:15
Speaker 1: thought is that the black man seldom commits suicide, and
50:19
Speaker 1: any people that commit suicide are weak mentally. Now, the
50:23
Speaker 1: committing of suicide is as common in the United States
50:27
Speaker 1: as the rising and setting of the sun. And yet
50:29
Speaker 1: how seldom do we hear of a black man resorting
50:32
Speaker 1: to such a great and unpardonable sin in order that
50:36
Speaker 1: he may be released from trouble or to hide his
50:38
Speaker 1: crime and shame. The black man's mind is strong enough
50:42
Speaker 1: to bear his troubles of whatever kind, and his troubles
50:45
Speaker 1: are great and always have been in this country because
50:47
Speaker 1: the American white people, who are in the majority, have
50:50
Speaker 1: always made life hard for him. It seems to be
50:53
Speaker 1: the important part of their religion, that is to make
50:56
Speaker 1: life unpleasant for the black man in every avenue of life.
50:59
Speaker 1: And yet he has borne it all without resorting to suicide,
51:03
Speaker 1: and without committing but very few murders of his persecutors.
51:07
Speaker 1: White men would have committed ten thousand suicides and as
51:10
Speaker 1: many homicides since the war if they have been placed
51:13
Speaker 1: in his stead, judging from the present conduct as regards
51:17
Speaker 1: suicides and homicides. For it is that so called superior
51:20
Speaker 1: white race that commits nearly all the murder that is
51:23
Speaker 1: committed in this country, and the Negro, whom they have
51:26
Speaker 1: published home and abroad as being so brutal, seldom commits
51:29
Speaker 1: either suicide or homicide. And no man can refute this statement.
51:35
Speaker 1: And what we have stated about is clear proof that
51:38
Speaker 1: the black man has the strongest mind of the two races,
51:41
Speaker 1: and that he bears his troubles and waits upon his God,
51:44
Speaker 1: who will bring him out all right in the end,
51:47
Speaker 1: and he leaves this suicide and homicide business to those
51:51
Speaker 1: whom he would survive. End of Chapter four of Jesus
