CHARLES M. SCHWAB, the
great steel magnate, once said:
"Never be satisfied that what has
been achieved is sufficient. Snug
ness and cOmplacency do not pro-
mote progress"
This is undoubtedly excellent ad-
vice for everyone but special con-
sideratiOn and thought should be
given it by those of us who are
more or less inclined to rest on
our oars when we somehow man
age to obtain the bare necessities
of life.
Negroes have a reputation fol-
being easily satisfied and in
truth many of us are, too easily
satisfied. The other fellow knows
that it takes little to satisfy us
hence much of his dealing with us
is done on the basis that anything
will be all right for Negroes.
= SOMETIME AGO, I overheard
a white landlord, who was not
aware that a Negro was present
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1941-08-01

say to a white real estate broker
something like this: "I am going
to turn over my building to Ne
groes because the up-keep will be
less expensive and 1 can get
higher rental. Negro tenants are
more easily satisfied than white
tenants. 1t will not be necessary
to spend as much money . deco
rating, fumigating and repairing,
because Negro tenants are not as
exacting and insistent as white
tenants about having these things
DONE"
A white butcher doing business
in a Negro neighborhOOd while
trying to be friendly with me and
thinking to compliment the Negro
said to me:
81 moved my business from the
white neighbOrhOOd to the Negro
neighbOrhOOd because I would
rather do business with Negroes
than with whites.
white women are too hard to
satisfy. They want too much for
their money. They come into the
meatshOp examine the meat
closely, kick about the price and
if both quality and price are not
what they think it should be .
they walk out of the shop without
buying.
"But, ah!" said he, "Your women
are not like that. They are nice .
easy to satisfy. They come in
buy and walk out. Oh, they grum-
BILE sometimes, but it doesn't mean
anything they buy just the same"

gro for his ability to be easily sat
isfied D.. for his sunny disposition
and forbearance in the face of
poverty for his shortness of
memory regarding the wrongs
done him, may be sincere but
if we, the Negro, drink deep from
the cup of such fiattery, we drink
a deadly poison which means death
to all the possibilities of our race.
RACIAL SATISFACTION, COM
placency and smugness manifests
itself in different ways. We have
with us type of Negro who, un-
fortunately, possessed little train
ing, has never had anything except
something to eat, and a place to
sleep of the very poorest kind in
the most squalid sections of our
city, who never complains never
exacts never lifts his eyes to
the sun of progress because he
does not know he has never
been awakened.
Being satisfied ,. possessing a
sunny disposition under such con-
ditions is a curse.
THEN WE HAVE THE Negro
who makes a fair living is able
to provide for himself and family
few of the luxuries of life .
and who because he is not feeling
the pinch of hardship because
he is so much better off than his
unfortunate brothers because
he looks only at the depths from
which he has come and neglects to
gaze at the heights which he might
attain falls into a rut and is
lulled to sleep.
This latter type of Negro is a
greater hOld-back to our progress
than the former.
If we are to rise we must have
Negroes who are dissatisfied e.
who have seen the light, and who
realize that the acquiring of GER
tain things mean that they owe to
the race the duty of pushing on
and up, relentlessly . unceasing-
ly carrying with them as many as
possible of their brothers who by
birth, environment or conditions
are more handicapped than they.
And we have the Negro who is
satisfied with his political status.
He is satisfied with the modicum
of political benefits which the
white man sparingly and grudg-
ingly doles out to him. He boasts
of his political freedom even
though it is only a shadow and
contains nothing of substance.

TOO MANY OF US Negroes
have become satisfied with crumbs
when the whole loaf can be ours if
we will but make the effort and
sacrifice.
1t is we'll to be happy in the pos
session of a few things, but that
happiness should not develop to the
extent of making us so completely
satisfied with our lot that we make
no effort to better it.
Northumberland is the
life of a people; when these are
dead the people are dead.
