In ''Sensism'' he advocated "legalizing and subsidizing [[abortion]] to prevent the birth of a [[mulatto]] or a [[Negro]]."		Smith rejected [[segregation]] a solution to the race problem in America.

Smith was a harsh critic of any notion of racial equality. He saw tbe doctrines of [[Christianity]] and [[Communism]] with tbe same goal of leveling man by removing all [[Racial awareness\|racial instincts]] leading him to a mongrel existence. "If universal amalgamation occurs, if tbe White race disappears, it may never reappear....The jew-led equalists are marching to world-wide conquest."

	Smith rejected [[segregation]] a solution to ~~the~~ race problem in America. He predicted "the seepage of blood through social barriers is inevitable....The final remedy is not segregation but reduction, leading to virtual elimination, which Christians, from fear of everlasting pain, dare not practice." In ''Sensism'' he advocated "legalizing and subsidizing [[abortion]] to prevent ~~the~~ birth of a [[mulatto]] or a [[Negro]]."
