According to Marlow, Africans can't control their ids because they are uncivilized. This is relevant to Freud's belief of uncontrollable desires every human has that a society suppresses. Since African society is more wild and "barbaric" they are free to express their inner most darkest desires that whites can't.
Marlow might even connote their skin tone to their darkness both moral and physical. White society has made the British "pure" and superior because their ids are controlled and restrained due to European society.
