“The educated Negro of today is a failure, not because he meets insuperable difficulties in life, but because he is a Negro. His brain is not fitted for the higher forms of mental effort; his ideals, no matter how laboriously he is trained and sheltered, remain those of a clown." -- H.L. Mencken

"You Socialists, when you come to discuss the magnates, surplus values, bourgeoisie, and other fantastic fowl in your aviary of horrors, too often borrow a dialectic device from your blood brothers, the Christian Scientists. That is to say, you insist upon using private brands of epistemology and logic, unknown and incomprehensible to mere human beings, in the conduct of your philosophical feuds. Point out to a Christian Scientist that the influence of the mind upon the liver is infinitely less powerful than the influence of the liver upon the mind, and he will bowl you over with the staggering answer that the liver is a mere delusion of the mind. It seems to me entirely impossible for an everyday disputant, handicapped by a reverence for Aristotle, to controvert, or even to denounce such a theory. How are you going to lay hold of it? How are you going to measure or weight it? It wipes out the whole universe, as you know the universe, and suspends all laws of evidence, logic and causation. It leaves you, in a word, gasping in an empty void. The only thing to do is steal away in silence." I believe we have all had to make the acquaintance of this vertiginous feeling more than once, and which was no doubt instrumental in waking many of us up from the Judaic slumber. It assails us also when speaking with females, who are as pleased as Jews and other Leftists to suspend all evidence, history, the universe itself to satisfy their ravenous "private dialectic". These letters are available in an old volume called Men versus The Man. A very entertaining volume; at the end, Mencken quits the correspondence in sheer truth-holding frustration. |
