Not to be indelicate, but in occasions of conversation with Africans I have met or known somewhat, I have come to find that they are more aware than anyone else, of characteristics and nuances pertaining to Tribe, 'Blood', ancestry and region/derivation of themselves or of other 'blacks' whom they may meet.
Many 'Black' Africans do not find the Blacks of the Congo region ( which is to say, the 'Negro' in it's original meaning ) to be up to their own standards for deportment, demeanor, ethics and self discipline. This has been the same for eons, I am sure. And if one look closely, is the same testimony one finds to have occurred anywhere the Congoid was brought, or, if not enslaved, went.
Many Africans, once living in the US, do not wish to be identified with or confused with 'American' Blacks, and or find them to be sub-human ( or "Half Ape") to their standards, especially the gang or welfare or Wild Oat sowing males of the inner city. Many Africans are people of refined sensibility and instinct and are as decent and polite as anyone could wish for. They more than anyone find pain in having to countinance generalizations which lump them in with others who have no such sensibilty.
I have known Africans who for having lived here, went back to Africa, out of disappointment and discomfort for being thought 'Black' by Americans, in the same way American 'Blacks' are thought of, or to be regarded by American 'Blacks' as 'Brother'. To them, this was unbearably insulting.
Of course, in the US, most Blacks of Congoid derivation have long since been cross bred with Caucasians or other to some degree, and are by now, more or less quadroons, or octaroons, which has altered ( but not removed ) what otherwise had been their so to speak generally 'negative' characteristics.
These Quadroons or Octaroons are the people one sees variously in an representations of famous or successful Black professionals; the McDonalds Famous Black People Pamphlet, etc - one sees Mulattos and Qudroons...never more or less pure Congoids.
Obama we find to be a conspicuous Mulatto, or, maybe, ( more likely ) a Quadroon, while, of course, ( almost ) every one insists to call him 'Black'.
There is an enormous varity of so called 'Black', and, to the European and even American sensibility of the 19th and early 20th Century, the distain or disapproval associated with 'Black' was almost entirely earned by Blacks of Congoid characteristic/deportment/temprement, and, sadly, this then in it's generalization, in confusion, was unfairly applied to 'Black' people of all kinds.
Relatively few people at that time ( unless they were Africans or Americans or Europeans or Englishmen who had lived in Africa themselves and learned deferentiality ) had any ready familiarity by which to distinguish the kinds of 'Blacks' which were being considered in anyone's generalizations, and, of course, this persists to this day to some extent.
I am sorry the term 'Black' ever became so mis-used and entangled in people's minds.
I can only imagine that the mental 'picture' to which Hitler was referring in his Speech, was that of the Congoid or mounte bank Mulatto or Quadroon of Congoid derivation...and, not at all a mental 'picture' representing any of many other possible kinds of 'Black', of whom no one of any sense has ever found reason to feel rejecting or critical or from whom to withold respect.
Many North Africans are simply dark skinned Caucasoid people.
Yet, they are called 'Black' same as anyone else of dark Skin.
Africa had and still has many many very different Peoples, who's skin color may be dark or 'black' ( or even Apricot color ), but who's characteristics as Tribes/Peoples and as individuals, is hardly fair or right to lump together with entirely dis-simlar Peoples, other than one has to regard them individually, and not to be careless in generalizing or lumping them together merely because they happen to reside on the same enormous Continent and to have dark Skin.
So, we find that few people of the time had much to work with, or any deferential understanding or discernment, when trying to understand or assay questions or in tending to generalize, in matters relating to 'Blacks' in Europe or in the US or UK.
However, we do know that there was concentrated Jewish interest in using 'Blacks', as the usual Slavers and Ship Owners and middlemen, and as Abolitionists wishing for the Black population to be absorbed by the 'White', prior to the so called American Civil War, and, we see it occuring in the latter 19th Century and accelerating from there to this day.
This may be part of what Hitler was commenting on, in so far as promoting 'Black' accomplishment, and using 'Racial Tolerance' and using the 'Black' Man as a sort of buffer and front and an up-hold, was and contiues to be a methof of Jewish self-interest for the Jews to insinuate themselves into other's Cultures with less possibility of their being 'tolerant' to anyone noticing them doing it! Thus to have a front and a cushion or 'fog' to conceal or guard their own insinuations of themselves into everyone else's affairs.
Countries/Nations/Tribes, if insisting on a homogeneous 'Racial' population, would be free from these kinds of insideous political manipulations, and, of course, Hitler was well aware of this and of the permutations of not abiding it...and, or, of how far it could be allowed some lax.
