class, and soon we lose our influence
and social position"
So it is with all the south. The
better class of people hate the indig-
mites that are heaped upon the Ne
groes, but are helpless against the
great mob Of poor whites.
But we must not lay all the blame
for segregation upon the shoulders
Of the whites. The blacks are in
manner largely responsible for their
plight. They. very often segregate
themselves. Instead of being men
and standing up for their rights, too
often they submit to things that
even the most ardent admirer of old
time southern traditions do not re-
quire of them. Too many of them
lack manliness and personal pride.
They care very little for themselves
and less for anyone else. have seen
much of men not having proper re-
spect for the ladies of their race.
How, then, can they command for
them respect for others, when they
themselves fail to give it? ColoreA
men Of the south, who aspire to be-
ing called gentlemen, are very lax
about little courteous acts, as giving
their seat in street car to lady, or
failing to beg pardon when they
trample on the feet of fellow pas
senger. Too often they are coarse
and boisterous to the disgust of per-
sons within the sound of their voices.
/ have seen so many coarse men Of
my race since / have been here that
l have often stopped and asked my
self, Are we equal to the. average
white man? Some Of US are and
some of US are not. But, shall the
possibilities which are within us be
denied their humane right of assert
ing thmselves, when given the
chance? No longer can we sit idly
by and criticize the south, but, in
stead, we must help the south to
solve the problem of humanity. We
need no longer pine to go to the far
away lands Of China and Africa to
do missionary work. There is plenty
Of work to be done here in the south
land. Let us not forget that "Char-
ity begins at home"
Ito be continued.
