Benjamin Disraeli On Race

From Metapedia: “No one may be indifferent to the racial principle, the racial question. It is the key to world history. History is often confusing because it is written by people who did not understand the racial question and the aspects relevant to it… Race is everything, and every race that does not keep its blood from being mixed will perish. . . Language and religion do not determine a race–blood determines it.”
—British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, Benjamin Disraeli, former British Prime Minister, from Tancred, (2 vols.; Leipzig, 1847), I, 169, reprinted in “Disraeli, Freud, and Conspiracy Theories,” by L.J. Rather, Race, Class and Gender in Nineteenth-Century Culture, ed. Maryanne Cline Horowitz (U of Rochester P) 1991, p. 171.
“If ever the founders of the] great Anglo-Saxon republic [in North America] secede from their sound principles of reserve and mingle with their negro and coloured populations . . . , they would become so deteriorated that their states would probably be reconquered and regained by the aborigines, whom they expelled.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1880) in Endymion, reprinted in Toward a New Science of Man compiled by Robert Lenski, (Washington D.C.: Pimmit Press) 1981. p. 154.
“No man will treat with indifference the principle of race. It is the key of history, and why history is so often confused is that it has been written by men who are ignorant of this principle and the knowledge it involves.
—Benjamin Disraeli, Lord George Bentinck: A Political Biography (4th ed.; London, 1852) reprinted in “Disraeli, Freud, and Conspiracy Theories,” by L.J. Rather, Race, Class and Gender in Nineteenth-Century Culture, ed. Maryanne Cline Horowitz (U of Rochester P) 1991, p. 170.
“The difference of race is one of the reasons why I fear war may always exist; because race implies difference, difference implies superiority, and superiority leads to predominance.
—Benjamin Disraeli, reprinted in The Laurel Instant Quotation Dictionary, ed. Donald O. Bolander et al (New York: Laurel) 1969, p. 249.
