Lots of racism in spiritual texts, often tied to fanciful accounts of the evolution of the human species that privilege Indo-Europeans.
R. M. Bucke
The consciousness of the savage man is similarly constituted in that his perceptions of things and of the world remain preponderantly subjective and immanent.[1]
Primeval man, from whom we are all descended, has still upon the earth in these later days two representatives. First, the savage; second, the child.[2]
The members of the human race began by fearing much and disliking much, by loving or admiring little and by trusting still less. It is safe to say that those earliest men of the river drift, and the cave men, their successors, saw little beauty in the outer world in which they lived, though perhaps their eyes, in most other respects, were fully as keen as ours. It is certain that their family affections (as in the case of the lowest savages of to-day) were, to say the least, rudimentary, and that all men outside their immediate family were either feared or disliked, or both.[3]
It has been said that the large percentage of insanity in America and Europe depends directly upon the rapid evolution in late millenniums of the mind of the Aryan people. Very few would claim that the negro mind is advancing at anything like the same rate. As a consequence of these different rates of progression we have in the Aryan people of America a much higher percentage of insanity than is found in the negro race.[4]
