@nnausa_ “Some day we will realize that the prime duty, the inescapable duty of the good citizen of the right type is to leave his or her blood behind him in the world; and that we have no business to permit the perpetuation of citizens of the wrong type.”
SO TRUE TED
@nnausa_ Roosevelt’s racial philosophy of white superiority dovetailed with his support of the eugenics movement, which advocated selective breeding to engineer a race of people with more “desirable” characteristics, and sterilization of “less desirable” people
@nnausa_@GabagoolGroyper 'It is of incalculable importance that America, Australia, and Siberia should pass out of the hands of their red, black and yellow aboriginal owners," Roosevelt wrote in his 1889 book
@nnausa_ “I don’t go so far as to think that the only good Indian is the dead Indian,” he said 1886, “but I believe nine out of every ten are, and I shouldn’t like to inquire too closely into the case of the tenth. The most vicious cowboy has more moral principle than the average Indian.”
@nnausa_ Roosevelt hardly saw all Black Americans as equals. “As a race and in the mass they are altogether inferior to the whites,”
“the great majority of Negroes in the South are wholly unfit for the suffrage”
