Indians were defined as sub humans, lower than animals. George Washington compared them to wolves, "beasts of prey" and called for their total destruction. George Washington's troops skinned Native Americans like animals. Apparently his first agenda item as President was the extermination of the Native Americans.
President James Monroe: Williamsburg Lodge No. 6, Williamsburg, Virginia
During Monroe's administration, the United States acquired Florida from Spain, and U.S. troops fought against the Seminole Native Americans there.
Andrew Jackson: Harmony Lodge No. 1, Nashville, Tennessee; Grand Master 1822-23, Tennessee
Andrew Jackson - in 1814:
"supervised the mutilation of 800 or more Creek Indian corpses - the bodies of men, women and children that [his troops] had massacred - cutting off their noses to count and preserve a record of the dead, slicing long strips of flesh from their bodies to tan and turn into bridle reins."
Jackson was also responsible for the Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears.
In 1867, General William Tecumseh Sherman, a Mason, said:
"We must act with vindictive earnestness against the [Lakotas, known to whites as the Sioux] even to their extermination, men, women and children."
In 1891, Frank L. Baum, author of "The Wizard of Oz" and Mason, wrote in the Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer that the army should "finish the job" by the "total annihilation" of the few remaining Indians, calling those yet to be extinguished:
"a pack of whining curs who lick the hand that smites them. The Whites, by law of conquest, by justice of civilization, are masters of the American continent, and the best safety of the frontier settlements will be secured by the total annihilation of the few remaining Indians."
To his credit, according to a South Dakota Public Broadcasting report, some of Baum's descendants felt it important to continue to look at those genocidal statements and apologized to the Wounded Knee Survivors Association.
And what of the black direction?
Today, twelve southern Masonic Grand Lodges allegedly still forbid membership to blacks and "those of inferior race." This means that the appendant groups in the same states, such as the Shriners, also discriminate.

It is much worse than that... a quote from Albert Pike
Albert Pike, 33rd degree Mason, he was one of the founding fathers, and head of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, being the Grand Commander of North American Freemasonry from 1859 and retained that position until his death in 1891. In 1869, he was a top leader in the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
Albert Pike received a vision, which he described in a letter that he wrote to Mazzini, dated August 15, 1871. This letter graphically outlined plans for three world wars that were seen as necessary to bring about the One World Order, and we can marvel at how accurately it has predicted events that have already taken place.
"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion...We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time." 4
Albert Pike didn't make those statements. You're quoting from a infamous (and long refuted) hoax, created 120 years ago, by one Leo Paxil, who later admitted writing it as a practical joke, as a way to embarrass the Catholic church. http://www.masonicinfo.com/taxil.htm
Also, Pike wasn't one of our founding fathers--he wouldn't even had been born yet. He wasn't the "Grand Commandant of all Freemasonry" in the US. There is no such title in Freemasonry, then or now. There is only sketchy evidence that Pike was even a member of the KKK, much less one of it's founders. I think you're confusing him with Nathan Bedford Forrest. Other than that, you're right on the money there..
