"Quotes That Are Hard To Forget"
"...Filipinos are vain, unreliable, and or rather low mentality... They are too lazy to do required work for bed or meal. They are very vain. When going to wash windows in private
houses, they carry their window rags in a brief case, so as to appear as lawyers... Filipino men are jungle folk, and their primitive moral code accentuates the race problem... The
Filipino tends to interbreed with near moron white girls. The resulting hybrid is almost invariably undesirable. The ever increasing brood of children of... Filipinos may in time
constitute a serious social burden."

CRIMES OF THE U.S. in the Philippines
"If the Americans had never committed genocide against the Indians; if
they had never incited wars of annihilation between the native peoples of
the land, if there had never been a Trail of Tears; if America had never
organized and commercialized the kidnapping and sale into slavery of a
gentle and defenseless African people; if it had never developed the most
widespread brutal, exploitative system of slavery the world has ever
known; if it had never sundered and torn and ground Mexico into the dust;
if it had never attacked gallant, defenseless Puerto Rico and never turned
that lovely land into a cesspool to compete with the cesspool it created
in Panama; if it had never bled Latin America of her wealth and had never
cast her exhausted people onto the dung heap of disease and ignorance and
starvation; if it had never pushed Hiroshima and Nagasaki into the jaws of
hell -- if America had never done any of these things -- history would
still create a special bar of judgment for what America did to the
Philippines."
