1798 Encyclopedia Britannica Definition Of Negro by Chidosqi: 5:44pm On Nov 13, 2016
Negro," Encyclopedia Britannica (1798)

NEGRO, Homo pelli nigra, a name given to a variety of the human species, who are entirely black, and are found in the Torrid zone, especially in that part of Africa which lies within the tropics. In the complexion of negroes we meet with various shades; but they otherwise differ far from other men in all the features of their face. Round cheeks, high cheek-bones, a forehead somewhat elevated, a short, broad, flat nose, thick lips, small ears, ugliness, and irregularity of shape, characterize their external appearance. The negro women have the loins greatly depressed, and very large buttocks, which give the back the shape of a saddle. Vices the most notorious seem to be the portion of this unhappy race: idleness, treachery, revenge, cruelty, impudence, stealing, lyng, profanity, debauchery, nastiness and intemperance, are said to have extinguished the principles of natural law, and to have reproofs of conscience. They are strangers to every sentiment of compassion, and are an awful example of the corruption of man when left to himself.

"... have extinguished the principles of natural law, and to have reproofs of conscience..."

Caucasian," Encyclopedia Britannica (1798)
NEGRO, Homo Caucus melia, a name given to a variety of the human species, who are entirely white, and are found in the Non-Torrid zone, especially in that part of America & Europe which lies within the northern hermisphere. In the complexion of caucasians we meet with pale shades; but they otherwise differ far from other men in all the features of their face. pale cheeks, low almost no cheek-bones, a foreskin somewhat washed with no tan , a long, out of place, pointy nose, no lips, big ears, alien horse face looking, and irregularity of shape and walk rhythm, characterize their external appearance. The caucasian women have the loins and buttocks of same propotion, which give the back the shape of a spaghetti. Vices the most notorious seem to be the portion of this unhappy race: restlessness, tresspassing, manipulation, cruelty, ego, lyng, absent of morals, nastiness and intemperance, are said to have extinguished the principles of natural law, and to have reproofs of conscience. They are strangers to every sentiment of spirituality, and are an awful example of the corruption of man when left to think for himself.

I'll rather stay with the first definition.
Whites,as can be seen from numerous examples are extremely depraved,wicked and deprived of conscience. They are the only race that have found ways of manipulating and cheating other races and always justify it when they are confronted.
