Kant’s statement: “This man was black from head to toe, a clear proof that what he said was stupid” as clear proof that Kant ascribed to skin color (white or black) the evidence of rational (and therefore, human) capacity — or the lack of it. But when he needs to justify his statement and his positions on this issue, Kant directly appealed to Hume’s footnote, already cited.
Shocking!!!
