In 1912, the very famous author and poet H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) wrote a short poem about how niggers came into existence.

When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Jove's fair image Man was shap'd at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next design'd;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Fill'd it with vice, and call'd the thing a NIGGER.

Cthulhu is well-pleased by that poem.

It's a famous poem around these online parts! I think this can go in Lockdown.

I like that poem!
But actually, nigger beasts evolved from Cain,who was given the black mark of the beast and condemned to roam the earth alone for 7 years by god for killing it’s own human brother.Cain was the first nigger. Probably raped human women and created it’s own demon race called “nigger”.

My mom's cousin was married to a major league baseball player named Dixie Walker. He was great player,
should have been in the Hall of Fame, but is only remembered for his petition, and organizing a strike, when
the Brooklyn Dodgers were about to sign Jackie Robinson, baseball's first jaboon. He got cancelled over it, after
a very long career. He had a big black lab named Nigger, which raised some eyebrows, even during WWII.

My first exposure to Lovecraft was in the pages of 'Heavy Metal' magazine. I am sure that I am not unique in this regard.
