The fact that he can admit to how preposterous the idea is stands as proof that the murder was not an accident.

Horrifically Beautiful Humanity, as a whole, has always sought to see the good and positive things in life; however, for some it is impossible to find goodness and benevolence in the world. Since the beginning of Poe’s life death has been a reoccurring theme. From losing his mother to losing the love of his life Poe’s existence can be imagined as a miserable and wretched one. How can a person stay mentally sane when all life has to offer is death and despair? Noticing Edgar Allen Poe’s dark,

The most secretive and elusive of the large carnivores, the leopard is also the shrewdest. Pound for pound, it is the strongest climber of the larger cats and is capable of killing prey far larger than itself. The coloring of the leopard varies from white to bright golden brown, spotted with black spots and rosettes. The rosettes consist of groups of 5 to 6 spots arranged in a tight ring.

There he insisted that it is ridiculous to assume that an albino black man could think like a while man, or a white man with an undershot jaw would have a mentality like a black man.

Now my question is, why do people think this is ok to do? If someone did this to a dog or cat per say then it would be a whole different situation. People would be outraged, calling for animal services to do something drastic about the deplorable conditions in which the poor animal was treated. I believe that this is because
