Wikiquote claims that this quote

There is something that all white men who have lived here like I must learn and know: that these individuals are a sub-race. They have neither the intellectual, mental, or emotional abilities to equate or to share equally with white men in any function of our civilization. I have given my life to try to bring them the advantages which our civilization must offer, but I have become well aware that we must retain this status: the superior and they the inferior. For whenever a white man seeks to live among them as their equals they will either destroy him or devour him.

And they will destroy all of his work. Let white men from anywhere in the world, who would come to Africa, remember that you must continually retain this status; you the master and they the 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`

is "Misattributed" and is not in African Notebook. Anyone got PDF?

Edit: Found something https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080707142425AAL2jTi

the beginnings of post-war political-correctness - a phenomenon largely spearheaded by left-wing Jewish intellectuals - ensured that this passage was omitted from later editions of African Notebook

Edit1: here is the book https://files.catbox.moe/5zjlz6.pdf (thanks ) and at least in this edition I can't see that passage.

Well done. I've quick searched for "inferior" and found the first result in the the part above, which indicates that the quote we're looking for is likely from him

But then if the full quote itself in the there, then all the better
