"I have dedicated my life to alleviating the suffering of Africa. There is one thing that all white men who have lived here as I have: they are a sub-race. They have neither the mental capacity nor the emotional capacity to share equally with the white man any function in our civilization. I have devoted my life to trying to bring them the benefits of our civilization, but I have become well aware that we have to stick to this structure: superior whites, and they inferior ones. For every time a white man tries to live among them on an equal footing, they will destroy and devour him, and they will destroy all his work. Let every white man, whatever his nation of origin, who would like to help Africa, remember that this structure must be maintained: you are the master, and they are the inferiors. Never fraternize with them on an equal footing. Never accept them as your social equals, or they will devour you. They will destroy you. »
