I finally figured out which of us that they have a problem with. Contrary to popular belief, they don't seem to have a problem with "all" of us, at least according to this book that I am reading.
It's not in copyright, and besides, this is my educational obligation to my people as "The People's HIDstorian!"
Without further a do... Happy Friday!
"In this investigation, we should understand distinctly the meaning to be attached to " Negro." The black color alone does not constitute the negro, nor does the fact of a residence and origin in Africa. Agassiz very properly remarks, that "in Africa, we have the Hottentot and Negro races in the south and central portions respectively, while the people of Northern Africa are allied to their neighbors in Europe, just as we have seen to be the case with the zoological fauna in general. "The language and history of the nations of Northern Africa show them to have a different and Asiatic origin. The people we are inquiring of are thus described by Cuvier: "The negro race is marked by a black complexion, crisped or woolly hair, compressed cranium, and a flat nose. The projection of the lower parts of the face and the thick lips evidently approximate it to the monkey tribe. The hordes of which it consists have always remained in the most complete state of utter barbarism. And even of this very extensive Negro race, there are a great number of tribes, differing not 80 much in their physical as moral nature, and adapting them more or less for a state of servitude. This difference was well known among the native tribes long before the Dutch, Portuguese, and English vied with each other in extending the slave-trade; and the Mandingo slave-dealer had determined this question long before a mart was opened for him by European enterprise. Our inquiry, therefore, is properly confined to those tribes of negroes who were in a state of servitude in their native land, viz: the Fantis, Ashahtis, Krumen, Quaquas, Congos, Ibos or Eboes, Whydah or Fidohs, Coromantines, Mandingoes, and their descendants in America."
