A word in conclusion about the relations between the whites and the blacks.

What must be the general character of the intercourse between them ? Am I to treat the black man as my equal or as my inferior ? I must show him that I can respect the dignity of human personality in every one, and this attitude in me he must be able to see for himself ; but the essential thing is that there shall be a real feeling of brotherliness. How far this is to find complete expression in the sayings and doings of daily life must be settled by circumstances.

The negro is a child, and with children nothing can be done without the use of authority.

We must, therefore, so arrange the circumstances of daily life that my natural authority can find expression. With regard to the negroes, then, I have coined the formula :

“I am your brother, it is true, but your elder brother.”

The combination of friendliness with authority is therefore the great secret of successful intercourse. One of our missionaries, Mr. Robert, left the staff some years ago to live among the negroes as their brother absolutely. He built himself a small house near a village between Lambarene and N’Gômô, and wished to be recognised as a member of the village. From that day on his life became a misery. With his abandonment of the social interval between white and black he lost all his influence ; his word was no longer taken as the “white man’s word,” but he had to argue every point with them as if he were merely their equal.

When, before coming to Africa, I heard missionaries and traders say again and again that one must be very careful out here to maintain this authoritative position of the white man, it seemed to me to be a hard and unnatural position to take up, as it does to every one in Europe who reads or hears the same.

Now I have come to see that the deepest sympathy and kindness can be combined with this insistence on certain external forms, and indeed are only possible by means of them.

***

Taoism, with its famous concepts of yin and yang — the female and the male —  express perfectly that in the real world we must be a mix of both the gentle AND the harsh with people as they are. This applies to a man dealing with his wife, his children, with Whites who are young souls, and with less evolved races.

***

One of our unmarried missionaries at N’Gômô the story belongs to a period some years back allowed his cook to be very free in his behaviour towards him. One day the steamer put in with the Governor on board, and the missionary went to pay his respects to the high official. He was standing on deck in an elegant suit of white among a group of officials and military men, when a negro, with his cap on his head and a pipe in his mouth, pushed himself into the group and said to him: “Well, what are we to have for supper tonight ? ” The cook wanted to show on what good terms he stood with his master!

The prevention of unsuitable freedom is, however, only the external and technical part, so to say, of the problem of authority. A white man can only have real authority if the native respects him.

No one must imagine that the child of nature looks up to us merely because we know more, or can do more, than he can. This superiority is so obvious to him that it ceases to be taken into account.

It is by no means the case that the white man is to the negro an imposing person because he possesses railways and steamers, can fly in the air, or travel under water. “White people are clever and can do anything they want to,” says Joseph.

The negro is not in a position to estimate what these technical conquests of nature mean as proofs of mental and spiritual superiority, but on one point he has an unerring intuition, and that is on the question whether any particular white man is a real, moral personality or not.

If the native feels that he is this, then “moral authority” is possible ; if not, it is simply impossible to create it.

The child of nature, not having been artificialised and spoilt as we have been, has only elementary standards of judgment, and he measures us by the most elementary of them all, the moral standard.

Where he finds goodness, justice, and genuineness of character, real worth and dignity, that is, behind the external dignity given by social circumstances, he bows and acknowledges his master ; where he does not find them he remains really defiant in spite of all appearance of submission, and says to himself :

“This white is no more of a man than I am, for he is not a better one than I am.”

*** This why the spectacle of White men slaughtering each other in WWI and WWII made further European colonial imperialism impossible. Dresden ended the brown man’s respect for us.

I am not thinking merely of the fact that many unsuitable, and not a few quite unworthy men, go out into the colonies of all nations. I wish to emphasise a further fact that even the morally best and the idealists find it difficult out here to be what they wish to be.

We all get exhausted in the terrible contest between the European worker who bears the responsibility and is always in a hurry, and the child of nature who does not know what responsibility is and is never in a hurry.

The Government official has to record at the end of the year so much work done by the native in building and in road-maintenance, in service as carrier or boatman, and so much money paid in taxes ; the trader and the planter are expected by their companies to provide so much profit for the capital invested in the enterprise.

But in all this they are forever dependent on men who cannot share the responsibility that weighs on them, who only give just so much return of labour as the others can force out of them, and who, if there is the slightest failure in superintendence, do exactly as they like without any regard for the loss that may be caused to their employers.

In this daily and hourly contest with the child of nature every white man is continually in danger of gradual moral ruin.

My wife and I were once very much delighted with a newly-arrived trader, because in the conversations we had with him he was always insisting on kindness towards the natives, and would not allow the slightest ill-treatment of them by his foremen. The next spring, however, he had the following experience.

Lying in a pond some sixty miles from here he had a large quantity of mahogany, but he was summoned to Lambaréné [in Gabon] to clear out some urgent correspondence just as the water began to rise.

He ordered his foremen and labourers to be sure to use the two or three days of high water to get all the timber, if possible, into the river.

When the water had fallen he went back to the place and found that nothing whatever had been done!

They had smoked, and drunk, and danced; the timber which had already lain too long in the pond was almost completely ruined, and he was responsible to his company for the loss.

His men had been thoughtless and indifferent because they did not fear him enough.

This experience changed him entirely, and now he laughs at those who think it is possible to do anything with the natives without employing relentless severity.

Not long ago the termites, or white ants, got into a box which stood on our verandah. I emptied the box and broke it up, and gave the pieces to the negro who had been helping me.

“Look,” I said to him, “the ants have got into it; you mustn’t put the wood with the rest of the firewood, or the ants will get into the framework of the hospital building. Go down to the river and throw it into the water. Do you understand?”

“Yes, yes. You need not worry.”

It was late in the day, and being too tired to go down the hill again, I was inclined to break my general rule and trust a black in this case, one who was, in fact, on the whole, intelligent and handy.

But about ten o’clock I felt so uneasy that I took the lantern and went down to the hospital. There was the wood with the ants in it lying with the rest of the firewood.

To save himself the trouble of going the twenty yards down to the river the negro had endangered all my buildings!

The greater the responsibility that rests on a white man, the greater the danger of his becoming hard towards the natives. We on a mission staff are too easily inclined to become self-righteous with regard to the other whites.

We have not got to obtain such and such results from the natives by the end of the year, as officials and traders have, and therefore this exhausting contest is not so hard a one for us as for them.

I no longer venture to judge my fellows after learning something of the soul of the white man who is in business from those who lay as patients under my roof, and whose talk has led me to suspect that those who now speak savagely about the natives may have come out to Africa full of idealism, but in the daily contest have become weary and hopeless, losing little by little what they once possessed of spirituality.

That it is so hard to keep oneself really humane, and so to be a standard-bearer of civilisation, that is the tragic element in the problem of the relations between white and coloured men in Equatorial Africa.

…..Whites fed up with negroes — rapists — who become savage toward them

The lynching of Bennie Simmons in 1913 in Anadarko, Oklahoma for raping a 16-year-old white — stripped, doused in gasoline as he begged for mercy (newspaper account), and slow-hanged, set on fire, while his limbs were shot off with shotguns.

A black man who hated the jews – one of many — Robert Brock, and agreed that many Blacks are primitive, asked me and Margi in 2007, right after both she and I had addressed in southern California the “No More Wars for Israel” conference:

.

 

“If this is a white man’s country, and you are the Aryans, then why do you not boot these jews out and then you can rule again!

If you Aryans are the master race, then be the master race and be the leaders!

If this is your country, as you say, then why don’t you take it back?!

You forced us [blacks] here, and now you cave in to the Jew — and so now we all are slaves and all miserable — because you Whites claim to be superior and yet you do nothing!

Deep Black resentment at jews for owning, torturing and humiliating Blacks then and now

The goal is an apartheid, overtly white-ruled North America; my security issue

 

I want a war with laser focus only on the genocidalistic jews, and not on 70 million Hispanics and 45 million blacks. We must win this first, and THEN issue the new dispensation. This is how George Washington saw things back then, in 1775-83. It is all a pipe dream unless our troops WIN IT.

My goal is to WIN, and then be as pure as we want afterward.

My great lesson from WWII and my surreal anti-Russia policy of 1941-44 is that no matter how lofty our ideals and how brave and skilled our soldiers were, the best in the world by far,

quantity did defeat quality in 1945.

Bad news from the get-go on 22 June 1941 — the Russians fought like lions for their Russian motherland, regardless of its then communist leadership, and they had excellent, practical weapons and stupendous war production. I should have gone in there to LIBERATE the Russians, not just give them a new master.

Many northern Russians and Ukrainians are blonder than we Germans are.

I will not write off 105 million blacks and browns who also want social and economic justice, safe streets, good schools and a job that can enable them to marry, start a family and enjoy a decent life. They will never get that from the current judeo-pluto-pedophilocracy, just the descent into total enslavement and vaxx-induced death.

The goal is to win.  When you send beautiful young men off by the millions to fight and perhaps die, as I have in many incarnations, your goals must be thought-through and truly realistic. The goal –my goal — is to win.

And the FACT is that the USA is now only half white and many of these Whites are old flabby Boomers.

In blue: U.S. counties that are 40% or more minority.

Let’s get real, people.

We need the  black and browns to be either for us or neutral.

 

OVERT White rule over ALL of the current USA and Canada — with non-white areas also being placed under OVERT white rule, including a cotton-tobacco belt in the South in counties that have already been majority-black for 200 years, Hispanic strips and the once liberal-ruled, race-mixed areas on both coasts. Again, this means OVERT white and NS rule that they must accept —  or leave.

The exasperated non-whites will accept much more readily than one would imagine that the white man, if he is noble this time, will again run this country, as a good steward and as the best leader by his genetic makeup.

    Here is an excellent leaflet about the causes of white genocide. Feel free to share it. It can wake up normies, because it raises attention to our own downfall. It is scientifically proven that there is a tremendous raise in depressions in western societies. Here you can see the obvious causes:
