Talmadge Tells Georgia Press Meeting Better Schools His Ambition For State Amalgamation Of White And Negro Races In America Will Produce Emotionally Unstable Mob Of Mongrels

United States Will Be Easily Conquered By Any White Nation

The activities of the National Association for the advancement of the negro race is beginning to pay dividends to the negro.

This dividend is the main objective of the National Association. This objective is the destruction of the United States by the creating of a mulatto race.

A mulatto race here would be like mulatto races everywhere. It would weaken the white race and therefore sap the nation of the strength and virility which has made the United States the richest and the most prosperous nation on the face of the earth.

The most recent illustration of this accomplishment is the marriage of a young white woman in the State of Oregon to a bold black negro. Both of them are students at the unsegregated University of Oregon.

The young woman's name is Doris Burgess. She was recently ousted from her sorority house because she refused to stop dating DeNorval Unthank, a negro architectural student.

After she was thrown out of her sorority she decided to marry the negro. Her relatives and friends refused to attend the wedding or to have anything to do with it.

Therefore, the negro's parents journeyed with her to Vancouver, Washington, where she was married during the middle of July to the negro, DeNorval Unthank of Portland, Oregon.

Following the wedding the couple left for a honeymoon trip. As soon as they returned a reception was held by them in Eugene, Oregon, the home city of the University of Oregon.

Elsewhere in this issue of The Courier appears a photograph taken of the couple as they were married in Vancouver, Washington.

This is the second incident of this kind which has hit the newspaper headlines in recent months.

The other was a story of a young Jewish girl who married the son of Paul Robeson in New York.

Paul Robeson is a negro singer who has turned communist, spent considerable time in Russia and is now advocating that the United States be turned over to the communists.

The negroes are not alone responsible for these happenings. Naturally they prefer to be white.

The people who are to be blamed are the radicals and the weak-minded people among the white race who fall for the teachings of the National Association and spread its gospel among white people.

THEY'RE MARRIED TRUE

Portland, Ore., love ran its course although in hand in some young DeNorval Unthank—Jr., son of a former Washington (D. C.) doctor, and Howard University graduate, had to go across the state line into Washington to marry pretty, blonde Doris Burgess of Portland.

The bride had become storm center at the University of Oregon when she started dating Unthank.

She had to leave her sorority house.
UNITED STATES WILL BE EASILY CONQUERED BY ANY WHITE NATION

Already they have convinced a lot of weak-minded white people that it is their Christian duty to marry the negroes and to mix and mingle the two races.

In this day and time when we have so many crazy people, so many psychopaths and so many neurotics, the crazy doctrine first promulgated in this country by the Russian Communists is becoming a serious threat to the very civilization of our people.

people.

A lot of silly, weak-minded women in the church organizations are falling for the siren doctrine. They believe it to be their Christian duty.

Likewise, a lot of the radical men and a lot of the weak-minded men are falling for the same thing.

They are becoming tools of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and helping produce and create here a mulatto race which would be the very worst thing that could happen to America.

Our enemies abroad and the termite traitors at home are seeking to weaken and destroy the powerful position which the United States now occupies. Consequently, this proposition of doing away with the segregation of the races and producing an amalgamation is for the sole purpose of knocking the United States off its high perch and its position of power.

If the Communists could today destroy the might and the power of the United States there would be no force left to resist their conquest of the world.

centers and other medical facilities com- races that they hope to so weaken America that we will be impotent to oppose the Communist revolution.

In this effort they have made great pro- gress. They have already divided the white people of the nation.

They have us fighting among ourselves over this question of segregation, over the question of the intermarriage of the races and over the question of the amalgamation of the white and negro races.

Unless the strong-minded white people of the nation make up their minds to unite and determine to crush this force the Communists and the weak sisters will eventually destroy the economy of the na- tion which places us in an enviable posi- tion as the strongest and the most power- ful nation on earth.

The idea originated with the Commun- ists and it originated for the purpose of destroying the people of the United States.

The creation of a mulatto race here will bring about this destruction quicker than anything else on earth.
