Flashback: Progressive Hero Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Says " Three generations of imbeciles are enough.”




Here's a flashback to progressive hero Oliver Wendell Holmes. Holmes used his racism to the highest level of bigotry: eugenics. Here's a quote from the most racist , inhumane U.S. Supreme Court decision of the twentieth century:
“It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind...
Three generations of imbeciles are enough.”
What's the difference between Oliver Wendell Holmes and the Klu Klux Klan?
