Default Dr. Albert Schweitzer


Dr Albert Schweitzer, who spent most of his life in Africa,
"uplifting" Negroes, received the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1952. He
held several doctorate degrees. Shortly before his death, he said:


"I have given my life to alleviate the sufferings of Africa. There is
something that all white men that have lived here must learn and know;
that these individuals are a sub-race; they have neither the
intellectual, mental or emotional abilities to equate or share in any
of the functions of our civilization. I have given my life to try and
bring them the advantages which our civilization must offer, but I
have become well aware that we must retain this status; white, the
superior, and they the inferior, for whenever a white man seeks to
live among them as their equal, they will either destroy him or devour
him, and they will destroy all his work; and so for any existing
relationship or for any benefit to this people let white men from
anywhere in the world who would come to help Africa remember that you
must continually retain the status; you the master, and they 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."

Just look at the Bell Curve and you will understand.

OTOH, the explorer, Sir Richard "Dirty Dick" Burton, actually became a
"participant observer" and apparently experienced all aspects of
African and west Asian sexuality, just as T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of
Arabia) explored Middle Eastern eroticism.

Wow! What a life he led. I had heard of him back in the day in school but
never really checked him out. Talk about a rich and varied existense.

Ironically, NASCAR is fodder for at least one black comedian.

His routine went something like this:

"I always wondered how people could be fascinated with cars going round and
round and round and round. Then I met some NASCAR fans, and I understood."

In _Gone With the Wind_ Margaret Mitchell wrote:

the former field hands ... ran wild -- either from perverse pleasure
in destruction or simply because of their ignorance.

freedom became a never-ending picnic, a barbecue every day
of the week, a carnival of idleness and theft and insolence.
Country negroes flocked into the cities, leaving the rural districts
without labor to make the crops. Atlanta was crowded with them
and still they came by the hundreds, lazy and dangerous as a result
of the new doctrines being taught them.

For the first time in their lives the negroes were able to get
all the whiskey they might want. In slave days, it was something
they never tasted except at Christmas, when each one received
a "drap" along with his gift. Now they had not only the Bureau
agitators and the Carpetbaggers urging them on, but the incitement
of whiskey as well, and outrages were inevitable. Neither life nor
property was safe from them and the white people, unprotected by law,
were terrorized. Men were insulted on the streets by drunken blacks,
houses and barns were burned at night, horses and cattle and
chickens stolen in broad daylight, crimes of all varieties were
committed...

Well what a surprise to learn that the negroes were subject to the same
vices and corruption as white people! I am shocked and amazed.

So then Wismel's quote goes on to say:
> Never fraternize with them as equals, never accept them as your social
> equals; or they will devour you; they will destroy you."


It seems to me Wismel forgets that it was *white folks* who dragged
millions of these unwilling people to American shores -- and it wasn't
the Dark Ages, either, it was the Renaissance, supposedly a time
of "enlightenment" and new ideas about freedom, etc. Surely someone
back then was enlightened enough to realize that slavery would become
obsolete sooner or later and then America would have to come to terms
with 4 (now 12) million people who couldn't be denied human rights
indefinitely.

If they were really hurting for farm labour why didn't they just bring
over more draft animals; after all donkeys and oxen bed down quietly
in the barn at night, they don't sneak over to other plantations
or crack corn when the Massa's gone away; and when the first quail calls
they don't run off for Canada by following the Drinking Gourd either.

As I recall, king Louis 14th outlawed slavery in France during his
reign, but when the former slaves in Haiti demanded their rights under
the French Revolution document of The Rights of Man, they were opposed
by the French government.

Napoleon even considered reinstituting slavery...

On the American shores, the Founding Fathers realized that they were
making a "deal with the Devil" when they compromised with the South
over slavery to get them to join the union.

The half dozen northern colonies desperately *needed* the South to be
in the Union for mutual defense, as the British could have easily
reconquered the South.

James Michener wrote an excellent popularization of the evolution of
the Constitution of the US, it's called "Legacy".

The institution of slavery in America probably could have been ended
without a
disastrous civil war. It probably could have been peacefully ended by,
say, 1880.

Brazil had a similar history with ending slavery, and it was over by
about 1880.

I'd like to know more about this quote from John J. Chapman; what work
it's from or what the occasion was when he said it: "There was never
a moment in our history when slavery was not a sleeping serpent. It was
coiled up under the table in the deliberations of the Constitutional
Convention. Owing to the cotton gin it was more than half awake.
Thereafter, slavery was on everyone's mind though not always on his
tongue."

They also needed a few other things, like a year-round growing season.

"Easily"??? The Yanks didn't find it all that easy.

I believe a peaceful secession was more likely than a peaceful
emancipation. If the Montgomery gov't hadn't fired on the fort
they'd have had their Confederacy by a _fait accomplis_.

The quote you posted -- and I do find it offensive -- is apparently a
falsehood.

See:

under "Was Schweitzer a racist?".

Good call. I did find this:

http://www.schweitzer.org/english/diverse/asefaq.htm

Under "Was Schweitzer a Racist?" it explains that the quote is a
fabrication.

Interesting.

I guess that they just weren't clever enough to train donkeys and oxen to
pick cotton.

They didn't find it all that easy in 1861, but the Constitution was ratified
more than 60 years earlier, and the British attempting to reconquer the
South would not have been supplying it with arms and munitions.

Yep, the secession was well underway in Congress when the fighting broke
out.

Starting a shooting war right then was as bonehead a move as the Japanese
attacking Pearl Harbor prior to the delivery of the declaration of war.

But not surprising. The White Power idiots *frequently* make up their
own facts, and because *they'd* never think to question such a quote
it never occurs to them that anyone else would.

Just one more example of why scum like this invariably inhabit the
bottom end of the bell curve.

Schweitzer was a bad scientist. If he had been transported a couple
of thousand years into the past and plopped down amongst the Germanic
tribes, he would have given the same assessment, if he wasn't a
racist, of these people.

Still, Wismel may be a consumer of bad facts, rather than a creator. I
assume that among the trailer park crowd, the neo-Nazis seem quite credible
and nobody in that crowd thinks to question them.

Race X = good, Race Y = bad ... if only it were that simple.

They don't make 'em like they used to. In the days before Google
Earth, explorers did some amazing stuff.

Captain Bligh, after the mutiny on the Bounty, was put into a 23'
launch with 18 of his men. In 47 days, he took that boat more than
3600 miles with no maps or compass, only a sextant and a pocket watch.

Rushton, the man who wrote it, is a pseudo-scientist of the
