THE HISTORY OF SEGREGATION.

ByProf. F. E. Austin '95. Winter Park, Florida: Rollins Press, Inc. 253 pp.

The Preface of Professor Austin's little book claims that "So far as the records show this is the first time in the history of the human race that the origin of the race of colored people has been determined." The origin of the Negro and the necessity for segregation are found, by Professor Austin's own method of exegesis, in the Bible and in God's will.

The key passage is Genesis 6:2 which Professor Austin translates into English as: "And it came to pass after Adam began to reproduce his kind, and he begat white daughters, that the fallen angels, the sons of God, who were created individually by God, who were all males and black in color, when they saw Adam's and Eve's white daughters, were fascinated by the contrasting white color of the daughters and took them by force for the purpose of reproduction."

Professor Austin insists that "The fundamental racial question in the U.S.A. is not desegregation. The question is: Shall the white race be eliminated by the superabundance of reproduction of the black race. ... That we have a segregation problem today is because the people of Israel (White Race) failed to carry out the Divine Command to exterminate the ... colored descendants of Ham There will never be universal peace in this world until these descendants of Ham are eliminated if not by weapons of the (White Race) then by some cataclysmic act of the Creator."

Furthermore, the author insists, "The race problem is not a religious problem When you hear preachers propagandizing universal brotherhood of man you are listening to Satan deceiving you from the pulpits. ... In the religious consideration of segregation, the historical facts have been disregarded and emotion has been embraced to nurture the fungi of Godless integration."

Professor Austin tells you in his Preface that "All of the important relevant facts pertaining to segregation recorded here are documented by Scriptural references," but this reviewer, for one, feels that it is the Scriptural references that are documented by the author's "relevant facts." He concludes his Preface with "The author wishes you, 'A Happy Reading,'" and no doubt many will be filled with happiness in the reading. Others will be filled with horror.
