As a Frenchman, and although I have no specific inclination for his philosophy, I must defend Voltaire who knew how to dissociate tolerance and racial blindness, and managed very well, unlike the Americans, to note the obvious differences and hierarchies between the races.

Thus he wrote in Essai sur les mœurs et l'esprit des nations :

>"Their round eyes, their blunt noses, their lips that are always large, their ears that are differently shaped, the wool of their heads, the very measure of their intelligence, all of these make for prodigious differences between them and the other species of men. And what shows that they do not owe this difference to their climate, is that negroes and negresses, transported to the coldest countries, always produce animals of their kind.

>"It is a great question about Negroes to ask whether they are descended from the ape or whether the apes came from them."

>"The Samoids, the Lappons, the inhabitants of northern Siberia, those of Kamshatka, are even less advanced than the peoples of America. Most of the Negroes, all the Cafres, are plunged in the same stupidity, and will languish there for a long time."

He also writes in his Traité de Métaphysique:

>"Finally I see men who seem to me superior to these Negroes, as these Negroes are to the monkeys, and as the monkeys are to the oysters and other animals of this species."

Unfortunately you have selected an author who is not white. As anyone knows, 'White' is a term that designate the peoples of England, Denmark and Northern Germany. Voltaire does not belong to any of these regions, so it not white.
That being said, my favourite white author is William Wordsworth.

Frankly, I'm at a point where I think anyone who spends any amount of time studying or trying to advance any kind of philosophical insight must be at least 3/4 retarded.

nope, if you to travel back in time to the 18th century and place a black man and a white man side by side, nobody would be able to even see the difference in skin color. you would actually have to tell them that one is a Christian and European and that the other isn't in order for them to notice any difference. Chuds are still seething about this scientifical fact to this day
