The creed is enumerated below. Bailey was an avowed racist and criticized Harriet Beecher Stowe for failing to recognize the importance of alleged biological distinctions between races, saying, "Indeed, almost everything critical that can be alleged against Uncle Tom"s Cabin springs from the failure of its humanitarian author to sympathize with race consciousness as such". "Blood will tell"; The white race must dominate.
The Teutonic peoples stand for race purity.
The Negro is inferior and will remain southern "This is a white man"s country." Let there be no social equality.
Number political equality. In matters of civil rights and legal adjustments give the white man as opposed to the colored man the benefit of the doubt.
In educational policy let the Negro have the crumbs that fall from the white man"s table.
Let there be such industrial education of the Negro as will fit him to serve the white manitoba Only Southerners understand the Negro question. Let the South settle the Negro question.
The status of peasantry is all the Negro may hope for, if the races are to live together in peace.
Let the lowest white man count for more than the highest Negro. The above statements indicate the leadings of Providence.
