The Weakness


And DR.. Ivan Bloch, in "The Sex
ual Life of Our Times" observes
that:
White men from early times had
peculiar weakness for Negro and
mulatto women and girls Not
withstanding the deeply rooted racial
hatred, even in America racial feti-
chism gives rise to numerous eonnec-
tions of this kind. The Colored girl
exercises a powerful attractive force
upon the American man; and even
the proud American woman mani
tests, with an especial frequency in
Chicago certain preference for the
male Negro.
10000 Mixed Marriages
There are 10000 mixed marriages
in the U. s. despite laws forbidding
them in 2s states. Today, at least
three-quarters of the mixed marri-
ages are of the white woman black
man class.
Times Change
Writers, educators, orators and
even politicians seldom express now
adays the absurd views on the Me-
gro they once ladled out to the flat
tered white yokels. They have re-
/ treated from the position that the
Negro is inferior to the position that
he is different.
Moreover, the meticuous observa-

ism is becoming more onerous. sense
less and expensive. With the great
ly increased travel of the American
public. it begins to seem nonsensical
to rage against Negro for sitting
IN the white section of street car
when all last year one rode back
and forth to work with Negroes in
New York, Detroit, Chicago or Los
! Angeles.
To almost everyone's satisfaction,
the Negro has shown himself peace
able, patient, self-effacing, forgiv-
ing, of the many sins committed
against him and DESTROYS of minding
bis own business and making the
most of an admittedly bad situation.
No Jackass
Of course this isn't to say that the
Negro accepts everything that is done
to him in the spirit of the rabbit
or the sheep. He resents, re rants,
he RACES, but most of it is among
his own, down by the big gate"
Without money and politically pow
erless, he has developed his own
unique method of breaking down the
barriers surrounding him, in the
main, think, he has been success
full.
There have been losses here and
there, it is true, but few will main
tain that the Negro is not better off
than he was in 1900, in 1910 or even
n 1920.
Technique of Survival
The Negro realizes more than ever
before that he has worked out a
technique of survival and progress al
most as unbeatable as the exploitive
technique of the American pluto
cracy.
While other subject races die out
to the tunes and tears of poets and
philosophers, the Negro remains here
hale and hearty and manages to be
fairly happy, though not as happy
as some may believe him to be. He
has learned to use the tactics of at
triton and infiltration rather than
the headlong mass attack. The NOR.
educated he becomes, the more de-
veloped his technique; the more civil
lied the whites become, the mor,-
they weaken in the face of his ad-
vance.
Whites Softening
Breaches in the social barriers will
become harder to repair with the
softening of the Caucasian and the
passing of the professional Anglo
Saxons, and will widen with the flow
of ambitious blacks. The Aframeri-
can, shrewd, calculating, diplomatic.
patient and a master of Nordic psy-
chology, steadily saps the founda-
ton of white supremacy. Time. he
knows, is with him. A few Cauca-
sian alarmists cry shrilly, and ever
and anon rally considerable forces to
the defense.
