“There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others.”


“In the year 1090, there was founded in Persia the religious and military order of the Assassins, whose history is one of cruelty, barbarity, and murder, and for good reason: the members were confirmed users of hashish, or marihuana, and it is from the Arabs’ ‘hashashin’ that we have the English word ‘assassin.’”

That's said by the same guy? Totally doesn't sound like someone from 1930.

I don't know about you, but it's beyond my understanding how someone could call jazz and swing satanic music. Must be the ganja.

Well at least he got that one right.

Jazz was thought as music of the devil at first, because of the lifestyle, and for other reasons. It's actually been compared to hip-hop because of how it was received, and the lifestyle, also because it was predominately black.
