Adolf Hitler
“The Whites have carried to these (colonial) people the worst that they could carry: the plagues of the world: materialism, fanaticism, alcoholism, and syphilis. Moreover, since what these people possessed on their own was superior to anything we could give them, they have remained themselves... The sole result of the activity of the colonizers is: they have everywhere aroused hatred.”
Adolf Hitler, The Political Testament of Adolf Hitler by Hitler: Recorded by Martin Bormann
