“The mulatto, literally speaking, or in the ordinary sense, does beget offspring, but mulattoism is as positively sterile as muleism. . . . Instead of a single generation, as in the animals referred to [the horse and the donkey], sterility in the human creatures is embraced within four generations, where a boundary is arrived at as absolutely fixed and impassable as the single generation in the case of the former. . . .
But in order to understand the matter clearly, it is proposed to present the reader with the preliminary principles or facts, and inductive facts, that lead to this vital and all-important conclusion. It is all-important, not as demonstrating beyond doubt the vital and fundamental truth of distinct species [within one genus—the human race as begotten by our first parents, Adam and Eve], for that is a self-evident and indeed unavoidable truth that meets us at every step, and confronts our senses almost every hour or day of our lives. But mulattoism is a subject of stupendous importance in itself, and as the public are generally, and the “anti-slavery” writers especially, profoundly ignorant of it, it is proposed to present the elementary principles or basis on which the whole subject rests.*
(*The author has devoted much time and labor to this interesting subject, and, together with his own and the observations of friends and correspondents, covering several thousand cases of the mixed blood, is able to deduce the general laws as stated in the text, and with entire confidence in their essential accuracy.)
1st. In the case of the white man cohabitating with the negress, or “married” to a Negro female, there will be a more limited progeny than if she were married to one of her own race.
2nd. The mulatto offspring of this connection intermarrying with other hybrids, will exhibit still less virility.
3rd. The offspring of the former again intermarrying with hybrids equally removed from the original parentage, shows a yet greater diminution of virile power.
4th. By still intermarrying with hybrids, and of a corresponding remove, virility is correspondingly decreased.
5th. Finally, the fourth generation of mulattoism is as absolutely sterile as muleism, and though there may be, at rare intervals, a possible exception, yet, in every practical sense, and for all the purposes of philosophic inquiry, it may be assumed as the natural and impassable barrier of this abnormal and exceptional being. . . .
(Royalism, or a Hereditary Aristocracy, or class that attempts to create a permanent superiority over the great body of the [White] people by incestuous intermarriage with its own members, is punished with similar results as those that attend the violation of the sexual relations of different Races. And the idiotic, impotent, and diseased offspring of hereditary kings has always a certain physiological resemblance to the effete and sterile mulatto. Both are violations of the normal order, and both are limited to a determinate existence, just as any other diseased conditions which nature forbids to live.) . . .
But it is in the female hybrid that this tendency to decay, or this vice of constitutional formation, is most apparent. Many of them are incapable of nourishing or taking care of their offspring, and together with miscarriages and the numerous forms of disease connected with maternity, they are often found to have had a large number of children, not one of whom reached maturity. . . .
As has been said, four millions of our own white race [As compared with the number of blacks in the mid to late 1800s: 4 million-DS] would be involved in this monstrous maelstrom of amalgamation with the subject race [Now enfranchised-DS], while the remaining twenty millions [of Whites] would be left untouched and unpolluted by the physical degradation that must needs follow such a stupendous sin as practical abolitionism. But they would not escape the moral deterioration, and the nation, weighed down by mulattoism by such an ulcer on the body politic, by such a frightful mass of disease and death, would doubtless fall a conquest to some other nation or other variety of the master race, [Or an Asian Chinese Race that has been taught the white man’s military technology from one of its traitors….Jesuit trained Georgetown boy Bill Clinton.-DS] and again become English provinces or dependencies of some other European power!”
If anyone doubts this look at what happened to the White Spainards in Mexico. New Spain didn’t turn out as expected did it? The Spainards miscegenated themselves in with the native population.
