    "They are an insignificant number, Doctor. And I have just read in a scientific journal that Negroes belong to a specimen different from ours."

    "It is obvious that you have had very few dealings with them. Blacks have the constitution for heavy work, they feel less pain and fatigue, their brain power is limited, they do not know how to make choices, they are violent, disorderly, lazy, and they lack ambition and noble sentiments."
