"I maintain that in three fables of Aesop...there is more wisdom to be found than in all the books of the Talmudists and rabbis and more than ever could come into the hearts of the Jews."

—Martin Luther, On the Jews and Their Lies.

The Tortoise and the Eagle

A Tortoise, discontented with his lowly life and envious of the birds he saw enjoying themselves in the air, begged an Eagle to teach him to fly. The Eagle protested that it was idle for him to try, as nature had not provided him with wings: but the Tortoise pressed him with entreaties and promises of treasure, insisting that it could only be a question of learning the craft of the air: so at length the Eagle consented to do the best he could for him and picked him up in his talons. Soaring with him to a great height in the sky he then let him go, and the wretched Tortoise fell headlong into the sea.

In this parable, do we not see a comparison between the Tortoise's argument and that of the liberal egalitarians, who insist that Blacks can learn to be as civilized as Whites, if only they are given enough of the things that White people have?

The Eagle and the Crow

One day a Crow saw an Eagle swoop down on a Lamb and carry it aloft in its talons. "My word," said the Crow, "I'll do that myself." So it flew high up into the air and then came shooting down with a great whirring of wings on to the back of a Sheep, intending to carry it off. But no sooner had it alighted than its claws got caught in the wool, and nothing it could do was of any use: there it stuck, flapping away and only making things worse instead of better. By and by the Shepherd came along. "Oho," he said, "So that's what you'd be doing, is it?" And he took the Crow and clipped its wings and carried it home to his children. It looked so odd that they didn't know what to make of it. "What sort of bird is it, Father?" they asked. "It's a Crow," he replied, "and nothing but a Crow: but it wants to be taken for an Eagle."

Here we have an obvious comparison between Blacks (a crow is a "black bird") and Whites, whose successes they would imitate, if only they could. Nature gave the Crow and the Eagle different ways of making a living, and disaster would befall either of them if they were to try the ways of the other. The same is true for the races of men.

The Crow and the Swan

A Crow was filled with envy on seeing the beautiful white plumage of a Swan and thought it was due to the water in which the Swan constantly bathed and swam. So he left the neighborhood of the inns, where he got his living by scavenging crumbs and bits of meat left from the plates of the diners, and went and lived among the pools and streams. But though he bathed and washed his feathers many times a day, he didn't make them any Whiter and at last died of hunger into the bargain.

The official Aesop moral for this fable is: "You may change your habits, but not your nature." Indeed, the racial parallel could scarcely be more clear. Non-Whites do not become the equals of Whites by living among them. Mixing the races is unnatural and leads to harm of one sort or another.
