Juan Ginés de Sepülveda(Spanish theologian): Indians deserved the treatment they got
because their sins and idolatries were an offense to God.
The Count de Buffon(French naturalist): Indians were cold and weak creatures in whom
“no activity of the soul” could be observed.
The Abbé De Paw: Latin America is the placewhere degenerate Indians lived side by side with dogs that couldn’t bark, cows that couldn’t be eaten, and impotent camels."
Voltaire: Latin America was inhabited by Indians who were lazy and stupid, pigs with navels on their backs, and bald and cowardly lions.
Bacon, De Maistre, Montesquieu,Hume, and Bodin: We do not recognize the “degraded men” of the New World as fellow humans.
Hegel: Latin America’s physical and spiritual impotence and said the Indians died when Europe merely breathed on them.
Father Gregorio Garcia : I detect Semitic blood in the Indians because, like the Jews, “they are lazy, they do not believe in the miracles of Jesus Christ, and they are ungrateful to the Spaniards for all the good they have done them.”
This just painful, PAINFUL. I promise myself that I will always stand by the vulnerable till the day I die. Of course by the vulnerable, I mean the ones who are fucked around for being naive and susceptible, not the ignorant, money hungry, sly hicks who choose to stay mentally-lethargic. And this is regardless of the race or nationality.
