Hopping negro dances

“The other day i went to a book store in Basel, and found the latest assortment of books that was to be printed: a negro novel, just like negroes slowly migrate into the civilisation of europe in general.

Everywhere you find this enacting of negro dances, hopping of negro dances.

But we already have this negro novel. It´s extremly boring, ghastly boring, but people devour it.” (Rudolf Steiner)

Pregnant women should not read negro novels

“Yes, i for myself am convinced, that if we receive another number of negro novels, and pass them to be read by pregnant women, you dont have to see to it that negroes come to europe, that mulattoes are generated;

just by reading negro novels a whole number of mulatto children is created in europe, who are all gray, have mulatto hair, that will look all mulatto-like.” (Rudolf Steiner)

Blacks suck up light and warmth from space

“Those blacks in africa have the nature to suck up all the light and wamth from space. They consume that. And that light and that warmth in space can not pass through the whole body, because man always is man, even when he is black.

It does not pass through the whole body, but stays on the surface of the skin, and then the skin itself turns black.” (Rudolf Steiner)

The negro has a strong sex drive

“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.

Inside of the negro, all this is constantly truly cooked, and what is fanning the fire is the afterbrain.

And we europeans, we poor europeans, have got the thought-life, that is rooted in the brain.” (Rudolf Steiner)

Weak spirits have to cut their fingernails

“Man is in opposition to the outside world. The soul-mind strives to constantly absorbe him. 

This is why we are flaking off, chipping off all the time.

And when the spirit is not strong enough, we have to cut off pieces, like fingernails; because the spirit, infiltrating from the outside, desires to primingly destroy them.”(Rudolf Steiner)
