 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |
Some men give their loyalty, not so much to their country, as to their colour: white, black, brown, yellow, as the case may be. I am told that at Port au Prince, in Haiti, there are statues of Christ and Satan: Christ is black, and Satan is white. This strikes white men as odd, but the opposite practice of Christian art everywhere else appears to them entirely natural. Kipling proclaimed white supremacy with his doctrine of “lesser breeds without the law”. The Chinese believed in yellow supremacy till 1840, and the Japanese till 1945.
