Anti-Semitism in the United States : $b Its history and causes
Levinger, Lee J. (Lee Joseph)
Antisemitism -- United States; Jews -- United States
[96]The differences among individuals belonging to the same human
variety are always greater than those perceived between races regarded
as distinct units.
[97]No one has ever been able to show a single authentic Aryan. The
descriptions of him, both moral and physical, his measurements and
also the description of his inner life, are all purely fantastical....
Today out of a thousand educated Europeans, nine hundred ninety-nine
are persuaded of the authenticity of their Aryan origin. In the
history of human errors this doctrine will some day without doubt
assume a place of honor.
[98]When we go through the list of external differences which
appear to divide men, we find literally nothing which can authorize
their division into superior and inferior beings, into masters and
pariahs.... The science of inequality is emphatically a science of
White people. In pursuing this course the elementary commandments of
experimental science are transgressed.
[99]In a word, the term, race, is only a product of our mental
activities, and outside all reality.... They (races) exist in us but
not outside us.
The eminence of certain European nations today is historical and
cultural, not racial. Otherwise, how explain the past eminence of
Egypt, Babylon, Greece and Rome? True, some try to detect an admixture
of Nordic, or at least of Aryan blood in these nations as a cause of
their once high civilization. But to claim this is so to dilute the
meaning of the word that almost any blood may be considered “Aryan.”
The fact is that the Jew now in the United States did not kill Jesus
but is still accused of it; and is not a Semite but is still accused
of that. The one accusation like the other is merely a rationalization
of the social trait of intolerance, now sprung to growth in the United
States.
