[Illustration: PROF. W. S. SCARBOROUGH]
Prof. W. S. Scarborough is head of the Classical Department of Wilberforce
University of Ohio, and Vice-President of the same institution. He, too,
is a great writer in defense of the Afro-American race. Here are some of
his remarks in his master-piece, "Race Integrity": (See next page.)
"The truth is that the term 'Caucasian' has little or no meaning as it is
now used. The word itself is a conventional term given at the first by
Blumenbach to designate what he considered the highest type of the human
family, shown by a skull from Mount Caucasus. When we attempt to trace
those who would claim the name as an expression of their superiority we
find the type has disappeared. There is no pure specimen now in existence.
And if we ask what is 'white' we can only say, 'that it is a term used to
designate the absence of color'--that is all, and no sign whatever of
'race integrity.' We have already indicated that science and investigation
point to the fact that primitive man was not white. It is no new theory,
but it has seemed convenient for the Saxon to let it rest as much as
possible in discrete oblivion. Bishop H. M. Turner of the African
Methodist Episcopal church has often promulgated it in his own inimitable
way, and Moncure D. Conway has also declared that the white people of the
world today are only a reflex leprosy and that the natural color is brown
or black."
SECOND CHAPTER.
HIS FIRST HOME
God but faintly revealed the puzzle of civilization to Noah and his three
sons, Shem, Ham and Japhet (Genesis 9th Chapter 1st seven verses), and it
became their duty to start to work on the first moves of the puzzle, as
well as to create nations. He, who would begin from the first, moves and
works the matter out to perfection.
Ham, the father of the black man, located in Africa. Africa was his
homestead, so to speak. David, the Psalmist, credited Ham with this
territory in the 105th Psalm 23rd and 27th verses, and also in the 106th
Psalm 22nd verse. Now, if this is not true, and we reject it on the ground
of not being sufficient proof of the black man's first and original home,
we can on quite as good ground reject any and every other part of the
Bible, for what I here state is no wild imagination, but FACTS taken from
the Bible.
Cush, Mizriam, Phut and Canaan were the first sons of Ham (Genesis 10th
Chapter, 6th verse), and these four sons including Nimrod, the grandson
of Ham, were the first to start work on the problem of civilization; in a
word they were the pioneers and the very pillars of civilized governments.
