OF time to make an honest fight

furthermore, we insist that the

one "besetting sin" of the Negroes

l want to tell you why the Mayor
treated our. protest as he did and
allowed Birth of Nation" to pro-
ceed unmolested. He knew that the
A. NJ. e. ministers who waited on
MN represented only. part of the
negro citizenship of this city, and
that the masses of the Negroes. led
py the other leaders" were satisfied
or did not care a snap what was to
take place.
Suppose every race organization in
this city had joined in a vigorous
protest against the show OF "a Birth
OF a Nation" do you say that the
city authorities would have been
silent? Not bit of it.
In things of this kind, our Negro
population are too much inclined TO
act as white men do about lynching.
Our white citizens will remain silent
and Inactive, during a man hunt. and
after the savages have hung and shot
and burnt their victim, then they
come together protesting against
MOP violence and deploring the evil
tlmes upon which the state has fall

A waste of time to protest! Must
we submit to everything mean and
degrading to, the race simply because
we can't help ourselves? No. IF a
man maltreats me, | will let him
Know | do not like it, even though
can't help myself. He must know
that | am man like he is, although
ne may have the advantage of me-
NOW, you say thJt the Birth of a
Nation, "'as a show, harms the whites
much more than it does the blacks"
Our protest was not based upon the
idea that the show does the race ex.
ceptional harm, but we insisted that
the exhibition of the play in
southern city, before mixed audi.
ence, tended to stir up race friction
ana Is breeder of strife, leading to
possibly additional mob violence and
other outbreaks, in which the Negro
is naturally the greatest sufferer.
This is still my contention. I fail
to see wherein the, evil results com.

harm to the whites than to the blacks
For my part if the Birth of
