''The solution Of our problems lies in
the Negros hands alone; the panacea
for our racial ills must be applied not
once, but often. until every evidence of
disease has disappeared and every scar

I'VE believe that the segregation Of

dependence, in permanent position of
disadvantage In respect to other races
which already hold the most advanta-
geous positions. 1t Is mere sophistry to
say that there Is no real discrimination
because white men may not move into
black neighbOrhoods just as black men
may not move into white neighbor-
hoods.
Imagine the justice of law which
denied the right Of poor men to borrow
from rich men. and then. to make the
matter wholly equitable. denied the
right Of rich men to borrow from poor
ones! We white men hold all the
coigns Of vantage. and this legislation
Is merely an effort to prevent others
from ever disputing our rights to hold
them. The result Of such an arrange
ment can be only one-to develop q
permanently inferior civilization in our
midst, which must serve forever az q
corrupting force in the movement of
the larger civilization of which 1t must
continue to remain a part.
