"I have given my life to try to alleviate the sufferings of Africa. There is something that all white men who have lived here like I must learn and know: that these individuals are a sub-race. They have neither the intellectual, mental, or emotional abilities to equate or to share equally with white men in any function of our civilization. I have given my life to try to bring them the advantages which our civilization must offer, but I have become well aware that we must retain this status: the superior and they the inferior. For whenever a white man seeks to live among them as their equals they will either destroy him or devour him. And they will destroy all of his work. Let white men from anywhere in the world, who would come to Africa, remember that you must continually retain this status; you the master and they the inferior like children that you would help or teach. Never fraternize with them as equals. Never accept them as your social equals or they will devour you. They will destroy you."

postscript: the beginnings of post-war political-correctness - a phenomenon largely spearheaded by left-wing Jewish intellectuals - ensured that this passage was omitted from later editions of African Notebook. (thanks UC..!)

Dear Previously and Deviously Advantaged Unreconstructed Untransformed Eurocentric Specimen of a Colonial Mentality White Trashbag Settler Racist Scumbag Oppressor of the Noble and Peaceloving Azanian Savages -
Hau....!
As I am presently squatting in the colonial mentality shitty bowl, may I suggest the racist Waterfront shebeen where oppressed natives brew racist Nazi wiessbeir to a Eurocentric oppressor recipe under the close supervision of white racist overseers, namely "Paulaner" next to the colonial racists clocktower? Over to you filthy racist pig.
Just a quick one. The Book by Dr. Schweitzer is called:"African Notebook", Not "My African Notebook". The quote was a prologue to the original written in 1939. Ommitted in later editions.
If one reads the books of Schweitzer one will notice that he really loved the Africans, but it is a kind of love one feels towards a child or a pet. He was obsessed with the differences between whites and blacks.
Uncle Cracker,
This is 2008. NO serious person will believe that Schweitzer wrote, much less published, such a thing without adequate proof. Can you scan your own copy of the original 1939 edition of "African Notebook" -- just the cover, publication information pages, relevant passage, etc. and upload it to a reputable website? Or otherwise furnish proof of this extraordinary claim?
To the Anonymous SERIOUS PERSON -
I havent seen or read the book myself - and i would imagine it would be very difficult to obtain the said 1939 edition. But if you SERIOUSLY believe it impossible that Albert Schweitzer - or any other famous personage at that time, including all US Presidents, could openly, and without fear of recourse, make (what today would be considered) "blatantly racist" remarks about blacks - then you are a VERY SERIOUSLY mistaken person.
I must admit - when I first read this, I did find it somewhat unlikely that he could have "gotten away" with such forthright remarks about blacks - however 100% true - as "recently" as 1959, so I am thankful to UC for correcting this detail.
Anonymous - if you would want to prove us wrong - and from your remarks you clearly would love to -then the onus is on YOU - not US - to find the evidence that Schweitzer never made such a "racist" statement.
But the truth is, you dont want to
know the truth do you..? Because you are undoubtedly afraid of what you might find.
Nevertheless I´m going to bring your remarks to UC´s attention in case he can elaborate some more.
But please tell me another thing - irrespective of whether or not Schweitzer actually said this - on a scale of 1 to 10, how accurate do you think it is about blacks..?
"I have given my life to try to alleviate the sufferings of Africa. ..."
Please give a precise, accurate ciation fo rthis supposed quote> It does NOT appear in the African notebook. I think it is a libel. Prove me wong if you can,
@Minerva...
You are right, but I have already acknowledged this fact...please read here..thanks

If only our White Israelite nations would have listened to such wisdom and never enabled blacks to vote in the US, now raped Rhodesia or South Africa!
The truth will always hurt the unwise but will always set the wise free, the unwise will also ridicule the truth because they lack the intellect to understand it
I know some black people.. and they are so good or so bad like white people in every aspect..
if the quote from albert schweitzer be true then he must be psychologically a kind of pervert...
and I experienced many, many assholes in my life in white skin..

An Iranian living in Germany may meet "some" black people, but those will tend to be much better educated than their brothers in Africa or America. When blacks are a small minority they tend to behave quite well, but you cannot know what they are really like till you experience them when they are in the majority and/or they are in a position of power over you. Similarly, I wouldn't base my opinion of Iran or Iranians on a basis of a small handful I may have met in Europe. I would say that your positive opinion is based on "knowing" a very small selection of untypical blacks, and therefore your opinion is worthless.
I've found that the farthest other peoples live from blacks, the more positive their views are of them. But try living cheek to jowl, so to speak, feel what it is like to have to move from your home that was in the family since 1920 because the neighborhood had become "diversified", etc. etc. One has just to look at the ruination of our great cities, all of which look like bombed out war zones. Those with the rosy colored glasses need to take a much closer look at the reality, not some PC agenda about how there is no such thing as race, etc. Wonder what these folks would say if Lincoln's own views on the situation were known and not hushed up by the educational system? Sorry for the rant, but I've had enough of watching my once great Nation go down the drain due to the "wonders" of diversity.
Hahahahaha haha too true albert too true
Albert Schweitzer most definitely said the above comments and proof can be found by referring to an earlier book he wrote :
There is however an earlier quote from a book by Schweitzer entitled “On The Edge Of The Primeval Forest” first published in 1924, in which he says the following:
“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 everyone, 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.”
Modern day Utopian communists of every stripe are using the Black man to garner political power for their "World Revolution, whereby the Ignorant will rise up and rule the world". This kind of insanity has been spurred on by common people living too comfortable of a lifestyle. Wealth has detached many people in the West from the knife edge of reality to the point that these softened people will believe in anything. These people do not know that a Communist Revolution aka New WOrld Order is totally funded by the worlds Billionaires. Here in the States, just about every rich person is singing the praises of Socialism in order to destroy the middle class and create the utter poor and super rich.
As far as black behavior, I live by Detroit and blacks have completely destroyed the
city as they have done to Chicago, st.louis, LA, Baltimore, Philadelphia and many other US cities; these US cities have been 90% black for decades.
