HE1S A NEGRO STILL.
The Disappointing Prejudice
Toward the Negro American.
SOLOMON q. BROWN. |

"Why don't the Negro keep his place.
Not force himself upon our race?
1t matters not what men may say,
They are inferior every way.
Inferior t0the meanest white,
Are alwayg hateful in our sight.
We never will accept his race
i {T,woulahriss 4 ). II onrahil4ren t9 disgrace,
I'm free to own we can't suppress
That ha tired barbOred in oul breast
Eve turned and twisted every plan
Yet can t regard him us a man.
Even though his skin be bright and
clear.
No kinks nor curls mixed in his hair,
That hatred comes, and come it will
| Which makes us hate the Negro still
Some | We seen with splendid mind,
Their whole delneanOr was refined;
But yet Wouldcome that stubborn will
And make me hate the Negro still.
| often feel condemned in mind.
II R4pentant tears will upward climb,
Like brine they II flow, like dew distill
I'll rise. but hate the Negro still.
l We tried to make a compromise,
But this my very soul denies,
l greatly fear never will
Cease to hate the Negro still.
They are very good to scrub and sew.
And 10 our kitchen work below.
To raise him up-We never will
But keep them down as Negroes still?
To do our will we think thnm nice,
Even tnen we pay the lowest price,
This is his place, no white can fill
And there Wen keep the n, gro still.
His offspring we can't recognize,
These Negro children we despise.
To keep this class just where we ought
In separate schools they must be
taught.
Our Negro drivers name is Jim,
Our Negro maid is tall and slim,
Our Negro cook is old Aunt Till
Are good, but all are Negroes STILL
Suppose Jim takes your worn-out
farm
And makes it bloom out as a charm?
This way your empty pockets fill
That's grand. but he's Negro still.
Suppose true bravery he possess. ~~ |
Through him your armies have success
The victories gained by his own skill
Even then he is Negro still.
Suppose his educatiOn's rare.
His eyes are blue, complexion S fair
And he good position fill
To us he is Negro still.
Suppose he be physician square,
With practice large and charges fair?
He cures disease with extra skill
He is a Negro doctor still
He's well enough among his race,
And this alone is his true place,
Wen not regard his fame or skill,
But hold him as Negro still.
Suppose he has inventive art
The world acknowledge he is smart,
Intellig mt and fills his bill?
He's nothing but u Negro still
