A leopard doesn't change his spots just because you bring him in from the jungle and try to housebreak him and turn him into a pet. He may learn to sheathe his claws in order to beg a few scraps off the dinner table, and you may teach him to be a beast of burden, but it doesn't pay to forget that he'll always be what he was born: a wild animal.

I don't believe in democracy. In the second place, neither did our white forefathers. I believe, as they did, in a republican authoritarian republic with a limited electorate -- just like the one the writers of our Constitution meant this country to be. When these white Christian patriots sat down to write the Declaration of Independence, there were no black citizens for them to worry about.

We must put an end to both economic freeloading and economic exploitation in America. There must be no place for parasites who draw their sustenance from society without giving anything in return.

When the "Freedom Riders" were holding sit-down demonstrations to desegregate bus stations in the Deep South, Rockwell obtained a Volkswagen van for the American Nazi Party, personally painted it with swastikas and white supremacist slogans, and dubbed it the "Hate Bus". He frequently rode in it to speaking engagements and party rallies. (The van was later repossessed after he defaulted on a loan.) Later, the "hippies" (whom Rockwell openly despised) would adopt the Volkswagen van as the "Love Bus", decorating them with peace signs, anti-war slogans and psychedelic designs.
