The average white man in the
United States,' says Booker T.
washington, in the January Worlds
Work, has the idea that the average
Negro spends most Of his time be-
moaning the fact that he is not a
white man, or in trying to devise
some way by which he will be per-
mitted to mingle, in purely social
way, with white people. This is far
from the truth.
In intercourse with all classes Of
the Negro, North and South, it is a
rare occurrence when the matter OF
getting away from the. race, or OF
social intermingling with the white
people, Is so much as mentioned. IT
IS especially true that the intelligent
Negroes find satisfaction in social
intercourse among themselves that is
rarely Known or understood by any
one outside the Negro race. In their
family life, in the secret societies
and churches, as well as other organ
izations Whe>e colored people get to-
getrer, the most absorbing topic OF
conversation invariably relates to
some enterprise FOR the betterment
Of the race"
