For this reason, to comprehend him, one must put aside any consideration about reverence and morality, that means any consideration about feeling. Hegel states abruptly: 'There's nothing harmonious with humanity to be found in this type of character' (Hegel, 93).1And, because moral sentiments do not exist among the Negroes, they are not only responsible for being slaves:'Through the pervading influence of slavery [inside of Africa] all those bonds of moral regard which we cherish towards each other disappear, and it does not occur to the Negro mind to expect from others what we are enabled to claim' (Hegel, 96).
