Comte Joseph Arthur de Gobineau on Brazil

[Necronomicom]

Interesting stuff, even if its not accurate.

"...the masses of people, [...], was on reality, a mass of monkeys! There was big and small ones, young and old ones; but they were all extremely ugly monkeys..." - On his arrival to Brazil (1869)

"A completely mulatto population, with vicious blood, a vicious spirit, and ugly to make one scared..."

"No Brazilian has pure blood; the combinations of the marriages between whites, indians, and negros, grow in a way that it makes endless classifications, from the lower classes to the higher ones, a degeneration of the saddest aspect."

"There isn't any Brazilian family that doesn't have black and indian blood in its veins; the result are rickety complexion that, if not always disgusting, are always awkwardly to the eyes."

"The best families have mixtures with negros and indians. These types create particularly disgusting creatures, of a copper-like red color... The Empress has three ladies of honor: a brown one, a light-chocolate one, and the third, a violet one."
I didn't know about the existence of a violet race

"Its necessary to recognize that the majority of the so called Brazlians are composed of mixed race blood, being mulattos and sons of cablocos (Indian + White) of different degrees. The Baron of Cotegipe, current Minister of the Foreign affairs, is a mulatto; in the Senate there are many men of this category; in one word, who says Brazilian says, with rare exceptions, a man of color."

"Just like all the rest of America, in Brazil slavery caused more damage to the slave Lords then to the slaves themselves."
There is a lot of truth in this particular quote...

"South America, corrupted in its criollo's blood, doesn't have any way, to withhold the decline of the mestiços of all varieties and all classes. Its decay is irremediable."
Another quote that I agree on.

1- Gobineu was a stupid biggot. His little theories hadn´t any scientific base.

2- He analysed the Brazil that existed 150 years ago. The country now is very diferent and hardly his coments would feet in our modern reality. Aniway, he was a lunatic, and even being Frech, he used to believe in the Teutonic superiority...

[Silveira]

Gobineau was a Frenchman who believed himself to be a part of the "Frankish" aristocracy. His nonsense was a response to the equally ludicrous nonsense of the Satanic 1789 revolutionists and Freemasons who claimed that by destroying traditional French institutions - the Monarchy and the Catholic religion - they were thus restoring the dominion over France of the native Celto-Gaulish race over the Frankish-Germanic "oppresors".

Wow! Had the French revolution racial causes too?

Of course not.

Gobineau, a Frenchman enamoured with Germany, was perhaps the father of the modern "scientific" racist doctrines, which emerged out of the confusion of 18th century "Enlightenment" obcessions with classifying and ordering everything. HS Chamberlain, an Englishman enamoured with Germany, continued where Gobineau left off.

The only racial aspect to the French Revolution was the high proportion of Jews in some of the Masonic lodges involved in these events. Other than that all the talk of a "racial" revolution carried out by the Celto-Gaulish "people" against the Frankish "aristocracy" was a part of the Revolutionists and later Gobineau´s fertile imaginations. Gobineau´s "Frankish" aristocracy of France is roughly akin to Kemp´s "Visigothic" maritime explorers of Portugal.

The French Monarchy was loved by the simple people of France, whose taking of the Bastille can be interpreted as an attack against some of the vestiges of feudalism and not against the monarchy per se. Those who masterminded the revolution were not derived from the popular classes but rather members of an ambitious Bourgeois class which wanted to take control of the state in order to further their own personal ambitions. That is why it left the trail of destruction and bloodshed that it did, ending in pagan-inspired Napoleonic Caesarism, the final point of all Bourgeois vanity and ambition which the Christian Monarchy was able to contain and discipline.
