POOR OLD ROSCOE CAcKLES
AGAIN
An Unkind Thrust

AD OLhliId III doL
Like che weird boot of some ghostly
fowl of the night, embodying all that
is undesirable in its mournful and
monotonous song, we have again been
disturbed by the cackling of the
would-be renown Roscoe Simmons,
under the column OF the week" ap-
pearing in the CHICAGO DE-
FENDER of January 14th, 1922.
This yellow faced comedian, who so
loves to indulge in monkey-shine
antics to the lifting accompaniment of
the white crackers hal hal much dis
turbed by the vicissitudes of life, be-
cause Of his waning popularity, has
become jealous of Bert Williams who
is acknowledged as one of the fore
most comedians of the day.
We have always deeply suspected,
but now we are confirmed in our be-
lief that although Roscoe poses as an
orator, he might have made greater
success as comedian. Though per
haps he would not have been as great
as the inimitable Bert Williams, yet
it is to be sincerely regretted that he
did not follow the course of his
natural bent. For then no unsuspect-
ing person migt have been misled by
taking him seriously.
As the case now stands he is
harassed on the one side by the scath-
ing denunciation of the intelligencia.
and on the other by the stoio indif-
ference OF the multitude, victim of
his own folly, he casts a jealous eye
upon the continued popularity of Bert.
The green-eyed monster has so COM
pletely possessed him that he even
goes so far as to denounce all West
Indians because Williams happens TO
be one
He says that the black slaves of
/ England (the West Indians) have
erawled into this country and are max
ing IT hard for the natives. Why the
poor dumb remnant of a fossilized.
i knee-bending, hat-in-hand uncle Tom,
/ specimen of Negroi> Does he not
realize the fact that the West Indian
who comes to this country IS bound
and circumscribed by the same limita-
tons of color and prejudice as the
, native American Negro? How, then,
Is il possible for handful OF West
Indians 10 make it hard" for fifteen
millions of native American Negroes
To our esteemed friends and broth
/ ers OF British extraction. realizing as
we do that we are inextricabiy bound
together by the cords of color. fifteen
million American Negroes, Gin sste
of Roscoe extend to you a hearty
welcome to this land or signs. We
welcome YOU to help US fight this bat
tie OF righteousness against whi.e
arrogance in every land And We
apologize for the existence OF Roscoe
and his pernicious utterances. but be
not too severe in condemning. for he
IS the product of environments over
which he had no control. The greater
portion OF his life has been spent in
trying to say something pleasing to
Nh Charley" Had his environment
been different he might have been a
credit to the Negro Race. even as is
