I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way
the social and political equality of the white and black races - that I am not nor
ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying
them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition
to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which
I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social or
political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together
there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am
in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this
occasion that I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior
position that the Negro should be denied everything."
