"it wouldn't hurt you at all to revisit some of Thomas Jefferson's writings if you think what we have is real democracy"

Well I took your advice Bobert and I learned something:

Thomas Jefferson on the Af****n Race

To our reproach it must be said, that though for a century and a half we have had under our eyes the races of black and of red men, they have never yet been viewed by us as subjects of natural history. I advance it therefore as a suspicion only, that the blacks, whether originally a distinct race, or made distinct by time and circumstances, are inferior to the whites in the endowments both of body and mind. It is not against experience to suppose, that different species of the same genus, or varieties of the same species, may possess different qualifications.
