Also, who were some notable influences for his views?

If Michel Houellebecq book on Lovecraft is accurate it depends, since during his life his views changed a loy. Lovecraft was at the hight of his racism when he lived in New York. From what I understand he was pro genocide at this point. Most of his really racist writing was done during these years. When he left he cooled off and changed some of his views. He still didn't like other races but he didn't want them killed, just kept away from him. That attuide was more in line with his early years.

It wasn't the norm.
Interestingly enough, in England the norm for a progressive atheist was racial purity and eugenics.

Umm bad experiences with blacks?

I meant as in scientific influences. I know Darwin and Haeckel were two big ones. Just look at the Martense family: degeneration at its finest.

I believe it comes from the short series, "H. P. Lovecraft's Haunt of Horror." It's only about 1.3£ online last I checked.
