IAN article by Mr.. r. Ray Baker

II was quite an interesting article
and am sure that your conclusions
are based upon your profound
knowledge and broad investigation
in the field Of anthropology. How
ever. am wondering how a man
Of your learning and knowledge OF
the general standards by which
Negroes are classified can give out
a statement that Sie Ethiopians do
not belong to the general class OF
Negro people and at the same time
admit that they sprang from the
Hamitic root. This, in view Of the
fact that the American people class
lify any people who have as much
OF the general blood inheritance as
the Ethiopians do as Negroes.
It is the strangest thing to me how
illogical white people are when Il
comes to their racial identification

Through the years that whenever al
