As democracy is perfected, the office of the president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On that great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the white house will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron.

The educated Negro of today is a failure, not because he meets insuperable difficulties in life, but because he is a Negro. He is, in brief, a low-caste man, to the manner born, and he will remain inert and inefficient until fifty generations of him have lived in civilization. And even then, the superior white race will be fifty generations ahead of him."
