This Call Is for Work,
Not Talk

Whenever a Negro makes a bid
for applause by saying that he
won't sing America" we cannot
help thinking that for all its short
comings, it is America that gives
him his education, his opportunity,
and his liberty to make that fool
ish statement.
The United States is influenced
by customs and prejudices but
thank God it is on the road to re-
covery! Nothing is more evident
than the growth of tolerance.
Therefore the improvement is the
news, not the sickness.
Our contempt for those who
make a parade of their condemna-
ton of the land they took for pro-
lection and living is due in part
to our belief that they are cheap
and cowardly. If they really mean
what they imply, they would de-
vote the money they earn to cur
ing the trouble, instead of merely
talking about it.
This is a land of law. Great cor
porations and single individuals
alike have to maintain their rights
to enjoy them. These loose-lipped
complainers are conspicuous for
hanging onto whatever advantage
they find in present America for
their personal satisfactions. They
are the kind who give 81 or $40 a
year to the N. A. A. c. P. and eX-
pect that to earn them the title
of race man." Negroes of this
type, talk at the big gate" If
they were sincere, the decisions
which more practical persons have
won in the courts for the race
would be multiplied many times.
Good faith calls for work, not talk.
