This text, along with the "Lessons in Decline" chapter of March of the Titans, is perhaps the most widely circulated WN propaganda piece which makes the claim that the Portuguese partly black and that the blacks were responsible for Portugal´s decline.

The Black Man's Gift to Portugal
The following article by Ray Smith is reproduced courtesy of The Best of Attack! and National Vanguard Tabloid 1970-1982
We have heard racial integration defended and advocated on the grounds that we have deprived our country of the benefit of the talents and abilities of the Negro - that the Negroes have a positive contribution to make and we have failed to take advantage of it. Because of our irrational prejudice against Negroes we have excluded them from full participation in society, and, we are told, this is our loss.
THE LESSON OF HISTORY
In view of the fact that we are now being forced to integrate with the Negroes and grant them equal participation, it might be instructive to look at other countries which have integrated with Negroes in the past to see what Negroes gave them. What is the historical evidence? There is a wealth of material here for study in such places as Haiti, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Brazil etc., but the nearest parallel to the situation today is Portugal in the 16th century.
It may come as a surprise to hear of the Negroes' role in the history of Portugal, for in spite of all the emphasis on "Black Studies" no one seems to want to talk about the Black's contribution to Portugal - neither the Portuguese, the Blacks, nor our modern historians who are rewriting our history books to make the Negroes look good. It takes considerable digging in books written before our modern era of forced integration to uncover the story of Portugal.
POETS AND EXPLORERS
By the middle of the 16th century Portugal had risen to a position analogous to that of the United States today. Portugal was the wealthiest, most powerful country in the world, with a large empire and colonies in Asia, Africa, and America. The Portuguese people were, like the Elizabethans in England, poets and explorers: a race of highly civilised, imaginative, intelligent, and daring men. They showed great potential and had already made important contributions to the Renaissance. But, unlike England and other European countries, Portugal had a large and rapidly growing Negro population, and at the same time its White population was declining.
Portugal began the Negro slave trade after encountering Negroes in its explorations and forays into Africa. Portugal brought the first Black slaves to Lisbon in 1441, and they continued to be imported in such numbers that by 1550 the population of Portugal was 10 per cent Negro (the U.S. is 11 per cent Negro today).
DEFILEMENT OF THE BLOOD
There was no taboo or injunction against sexual relations with Negroes, and the Negro blood soon became assimilated into the general population through miscegenation, so that today there are no Negroes, as such, in Portugal. The present-day population of Portugal is described by the New York Times Encyclopaedic Almanac, 1971, as follows: "Ethnic Composition: the people are a mixture of various ethnic strains, including Celtic, Arab, Berber, Phoenician, Carthaginian, Lucitanian, and other racial influences. The present population is one of the most homogeneous in Europe, with no national minorities." (Note that the Negro strain is not listed by the New York Times.)
What you can see in Portugal today is the product of a uniform, non-selective mixing of 10 per cent Negroes and 90 per cent Whites into one homogeneous whole. In effect it is a new race - a race that has stagnated in apathy and has produced nothing in the last 400 years. The Encyclopaedia Britannica 11th edition, 1911, in its article on Portugal, states, "The Portuguese intermarried freely with their slaves, and this infusion of alien blood profoundly modified the character and physique of the nation. It may be said without exaggeration that the Portuguese of the 'age of discovery' and the Portuguese of the 17th and later centuries were two different races."
PEOPLE WITHOUT A FUTURE
The contribution of this new race to civilisation in terms of literature, art, music, philosophy, science, etc. has been practically zero. Portugal today is the most backward country in Europe. The illiteracy rate is 38 per cent (in the U.S. 2.2%; Soviet Union 1.5%; Japan 1.0%). The infant mortality rate in Portugal is 59.2 per 1000 births (in Sweden, 12.9; U.S. 20.7; France, 20.4; Soviet Union 28). The workers' wages are the lowest in Europe, the equivalent of a little more than $2 a day.
Portugal is a forgotten land - bypassed by tourists and shunned by scholars. It is a sad country, known only for its plaintive, mournful fado music - gnostic music that looks to the past and has no future.
PORTUGAL AND AMERICA
In spite of the close similarity between the situation of Portugal in 1550 and the United States today, we cannot predict that the outcome of racial integration will be exactly the same. The historical evidence, however, is that any country, society, or group that has integrated to any appreciable extent with Negroes has suffered drastically in its ability to maintain a civilised standard of living, and in its ability to compete with others. There is no evidence that any country ever gained anything from integration with Negroes.
It should be pointed out that the Negro-White ratio of 1:9 in Portugal in 1550 does not represent the final percentage of Negro genes, for the Negro element was rapidly increasing while the White element was declining. The male Whites were leaving Portugal in large numbers sailing, settling in the colonies, and marrying the native women (the government encouraged this). Most of the Negro slaves brought into Portugal were adult males. The population was thus unbalanced - an excess of White women and Negro males, and a shortage of White men. Chronicles of the era relate that Portuguese women kept Negro slaves as "pets". They also married them.
The situation in the U.S. today is not too different. The radical-chic Whites even have their Black Panther pets.
The American 11 per cent Negro element today does not represent the final amalgam. The Negro birth rate is almost twice that of the Whites. There is no White population explosion anywhere in the world. It is all coloured. The White woman takes a pill or has an abortion; the coloured woman has the children.
What the final amalgam in America will be, we cannot say, but if present trends continue the Negro element will be much more than 11%.
WHY DID PORTUGAL INTEGRATE?
The British, French, Spanish and Portuguese all engaged in the Negro slave trade, but only Portugal brought them into her own country. The question arises - why did Portugal so willingly accept racial integration with Negroes while the European countries kept the Negroes out and maintained their racial integrity? What was the climate of opinion, the current ideology, teaching, or propaganda that led the Portuguese to depart so from the behaviour of the other countries? What was different about Portugal?
You will not find any answer to these questions in any universities or in our modern history books and recently published encyclopaedias, for the whole subject of the decline and fall of Portugal has become taboo. You will have to dig into older sources and discover your own answers.
You might also ask yourself why America is accepting racial integration while most of the rest of the world is "racist". Why are we different?
THE ROLE OF THE JEW
One significant difference in Portugal before its fall in the 16th century was that it had become a haven for Jews. For several centuries the Jews had had more wealth, influence and power in Portugal than in any other European country. In 1497, at Spain's request, the Jews were asked to leave Portugal or be converted. Most of them became nominal Christians and remained.
However by 1550 many of the Jews were voluntarily leaving. They saw the writing on the wall. The Encyclopaedia Britannica (edition of 1885) notes that, "even observers like the Dutchman Cleynaerts saw that, in spite of all its wealth and seeming prosperity, the Kingdom of Portugal was rotten at the core and would not last."
America has also served as a haven for Jews. The Jews in America today have risen to a greater position of power, wealth and influence than they have ever had in any other country. They dominate the newspapers, publishing, T.V. and radio, movies, universities - all of the educational media, as well as the commercial life of the country. The Jews have always proselytized for racial integration - in Portugal, America, or in whatever country they have been, for without such a climate of tolerance of alien races they themselves would not be accepted. It has, therefore, been in the Jews' interest to suppress evidence which would lead to reject alien races.
