I wonder if this pro-slavery author ever considered himself a "bigot" (WARNING: Racially offensive)

[derby378]

With all this talk about Obama and Rick Warren, I invite you to read this and compare it to Warren's worldview, if you dare:

The earliest civilization of which history gives account is that of Egypt. The negro was always in contact with that civilization. For four thousand years he has had opportunities of becoming civilized. Like the wild horse, he must be caught, tamed and domesticated. When his subjugation ceases he again runs wild, like the cattle on the Pampas of the South, or the horses on the prairies of the West. His condition in the West Indies proves this...The Southerner is the negro's friend, his only friend. Let no intermeddling abolitionist, no refined philosophy, dissolve this friendship.

George Fitzhugh (1854)
