    1. Every thinking woman must be aware of the backwardness of current methods of household management and see in them a severe impediment to her own development and therefore to the development of the family as a whole. Today’s hectic urban life-style imposes demands on women far exceeding those of the calmer conditions of eighty years ago, yet today’s woman is nevertheless condemned to manage her household (aside from the relief offered by a few exceptions) just like her grandmother did.

      What seemed to me predominant in our attitude to questions of sex and morality was the demand for a certain honesty. We despised the nineteenth-century attitude that treated women of different classes differently, suggesting that one should go to bed with a woman of one class, but marry a woman of another. The essential requirement in the relation between sexes seemed to us the presence of a true affection. If that was there it seemed to us no great difference whether a couple lived together for a while and then either got married or separated, or whether, if they were more conventional, they began to live together only after they had gotten married. In this day of age, sex and morality has long been gone. There are no more be ostracized for having sex before marriage, or living together unmarried and the biggest morality that in my opinion that doesn't exist is having a child while not being married. I'm guilty as well, but I did get married before my daughter was born due to pressure from my entire family. So the relations between sex and morals shouldn't be in the same class anymore because the 20th century attitude, it vaguely exist nor practiced.

    1. Racial interpretations became so familiar to me over time that I could not avoid relating them to my work as a specialist. The original plan, however, of devoting a chapter of a new edition of my Cultural Investigations (1922) to these racial observations had to be abandoned, since the topic had come to exceed by far the range of a single chapter. A separate volume would not have fit into the structure of that work, which was complete in itself, and thus I was happy to accept the proposal of the Lehmanns Verlag and have it appear independently as a book.

      But the leading role belongs to Negro blood. Its drops are slowly falling over Europe, a long-since dried-up land that can scarcely breathe. Is that perhaps the cloud that looks so black on the horizon but whose fearsome downpours are capable of so white a shine? [Claire Goll’s] The Negro Jupiter Robs Europe [Der Neger Jupiter raubt Europa] is the name of a modern German novel just now coming out. The Negro question is pressing for our entire civilization. It runs like this: Do the Negroes need us? Or are we not sooner in need of them? Robert W. “The Black Experience During the Holocaust.” In The Holocaust and History: The Known, the Unknown, the Disputed, and the Reexamined, edited by Michael Berenbaum and Abraham J. Peck, 358-365. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1998. (D 804.18 .H66 1998) Reviews the treatment Blacks received under the Nazis. Describes the expression of racism in Germany from the early twentieth century through the war years, and traces how racial discrimination grew from ostracism to outright persecution, forced sterilization, and murder. Also summarizes the situation many Blacks, including prisoners of war, faced in Nazi concentration camps and Gestapo prisons. I just wanted to add a little knowledge about German African Americans that had long since occupied Germany before Europeans who was executed along with the Jews, but you won't hear much of that in our history books. But once the blacks were extinct to a point in Germany, then the Holocaust as we know it from our history books began. But not to realize that most black soldiers had children with German women, in which the children were either given up or adoption or killed just like the Jews. So the question I would like to answer is yes the African Americans did put pressure on the German civilization at that time, but African Americans were not needed at that time either. In my opinion, at that time African Americans were even consider a race to them.
