AFRO-AMER|CAN CULL|NCS

At the regular monthly public
meeting of the Manhattan branch
of the Y. NJ. C. A. at the Abys-
sinian Baptist church in West
Fortieth street, before a large audi
ence Rabbi Alexander Lyons, of the
State street Synagogue. Brooklyn, de-
livered an address on IF l Were Ne
gro" He spoke in part as follows:
First, If | were negro l should
confront the conditions which the ne
gro confronts with the same fortitude
and determination with which they
have been confronted by the Jews; in
other words, would be content to be
the thing which God almighty had
made me. Therein many negroes are
at fault. / believe God made a variety
of races for the same reason that he
made variety of other things-be-
cause similarity beSets monotony.
Since you are negroes, be negroes. l
have only contempt for the negro.
who because he is a little lighter in
color looks down upon other negroes
who happen to be a little darker in
hue. Either man is negro or he is
not a negro, no matter what his color
may be. Moreover. l should not be
like many negroes who try to initiate
white people. Don't make the mis-
take of believing that everything
white man or a white woman does is
right simply because he or she is
white.
In the second place, If / were
negro l should try to have something
to show for my energy. That is,
should be careful to save as much as
possible of my wages. l say this be-
cause too many of our negroes are in
clned to be thriftless. The race is
often accused of a lack of foresight.
They spend their money too freely and
too thoughtlessly. Some negroes, as
soon as they have earned a little
money, lay off and spend it in order
that they may go to work and earn a
little more. Save your money. If you
cannot get your names on the sign
boards of Broadway you may yet be
able to get them on the side streets.
Finally, if | were a negro | should
so deport myself that no one could
point the finger of scorn at me. Two
tnlnSS IN tnlS world are or prime I'M
portance-money and morality. And
then | should see to IL that, so far as
in my power lay, every other negro
witt. whom | came in contact deported
himself with credit. For If one negro
goes wrong he becomes a stumbling
block to the entire race. The same is
likewise true of the Jew.
The negro race is peculiarly en-
dowed. He is physically and musical
ly blessed, and has wonderful patience.
Don't envy the white race because you
are not white, but love and cherish
your own. Be patient. capable and
brave. Be good Christians, but don't
be so Christian and so soft and juicy
as not to stand up for your rights
when you are sure that right is on
your side"

old-time plantation songs sung in their

them, because a certain type of ne
