BERT VILLAINS, COMEDIAN,
ON NEGRO AND SOCIETY

Out in Minneapolis Bert Williams. the
negro comedian, has given the local
newspapers q rather remarkable inter-
view on the subject of the negro and his
proper place in society, and he has been
so candid and startling in some Of his
statements that many newspapers have
commented upon them editorially.
Here are a few Of Williams sidelights
on his own people:
The colored man who holds himself
detached Is happiest.
The colored man who tries to get into
the white mans class Is making a bad
mess of II.
There is no such thing in the world
as social equality.
The poor white man kids himself
into believing he Is as good as any other
white man.
The rich white man derives much
solace from contemplation Of how much
better he Is than the poor white man.
THE colored man with money has it
all over the poor white man without
money.
The whole proposition of social dis
tinction, viewed from . detached posi-
ton. Is humorous."
Mr.. Williams evidently has no illusions
about the social status of any member
Of his race.

word. l went through high school as a
youth and had ambition. Once. like Eddie
Foy. I fancied myself playing Hamlet.
But discovered that pigment IN the skin
made a difference. Did break my heart
over II? Not at ALL The world says
that since some people are white and
some are colored there must be some
distinction made-a social distinction. I
accepted the inevitable. II there are
public places that do not want to serve
Newell. they are the public places / do
not care to patronize. From the white
mans standpoint 1 am socially out of it
with a large body of citizens. But look
at 1t from my standpoint Consider my
position of social aloofness. And con-
slider my independence. And money in
my clothes.
'Colored boys Of good looks and edu-
cation who have come out of school to
face the world and who have run into
what / ran into when I started, have
come to me and asked me what to do
about 1t. My answer Is always the same:
You are negro; then just be what you
are. As to social recognition, forget It,
Develop yourself individually. and indi-
vidualism will make you far more dis
tinguished among men than you would

white men. most OF whom live humble
lives, never have much money and never
