“So the negro has a strong sex drive. And since he actually has the sun, light and warmth there on his body surface, in his skin, his whole metabolism is working inside as if it´s cooked by the sun itself. Thats where the sex drive comes from.

“So that it is a fact, that with the habit of eating potatoes, the people in Europe neglected their heads, their brains. You only start seeing this correlation when you practice the arts.
