   • 2004, Laura Marcus, Peter Nicholls, The Cambridge History of Twentieth-Century English Literature, page 437:

     Thus civilian morale became a key issue in war preparations, which were undertaken in a spirit so fretfully suspicious that centralised mass shelters were not constructed for fear of encouraging a deep shelter mentality that would turn London's population into a race of modern Morlocks.

   • Quoted in: 2020, Martina Althoff, Bernd Dollinger, Holger Schmidt, Conflicting Narratives of Crime and Punishment (page 155)

     We need a modern White version of that. They go into niggerhoods that border Human areas and patrol. Protect the Human encampments from the invading Morlocks. Do it legally, and call the police to actually grab the criminal n*gs, but be out there in force watching & filming these things.
