Many Europeans believed in the innate inferiority of Africans. One European missionary wrote that “[t]he mere possession on the part of the Bantu of nothing but an oral tradition of culture creates a chasm between the Native ‘mind’ and that of civilized man, and of itself would account for a lack of balance and proportion in the triple psychological function of feeling, thinking and acting, implying that thinking is the weakest of the three and that feeling is the most dominant.” Id.
