"RACE PREJUDICE
BY Mrs. J. Stukey
4l2 f. 18th Street


The trouble isn't that I'm a Ne.
gro
The name considered a bit too
good
It's boiled down as low as a mig
ger
And the talks in its neighborhood
But just to be plain about the rea-
sen why
It's because my skin is black
My hair isn't naturally curly
Must go along and keep on the
side track.
God gets tired though he suffered
long
Giving ample time for a change
But we prove to him, we like the
"IunS
So was will make re-arange.
He abhors hatred and race preju-
dice
For his kingdom on Garth can't
come
As long as this and other matters
exist
We will hear the gun or the bomb
We only want our rights and pri-
vileges
Others may keep their way
To be considered as human beings
His rich word must fulfill some
day.

1t is becoming a settled fact
that with the advent of time, Nc

proud of the race and Of the ac-

reminds me Of an incident which
the late Robert K. Motion, former

him: "A white youth once came
up to me-" said Mr.. Motion, and
out of the clear blue sky, said, 81

lifted his head into the air with a
feeling of superiority that he
thought nothing could top. After
having pondered over the matter
that night, | was ready for him
the next day. When we met,
asked him what was that he had
said to me the day before, and he
repeated, and retorted with
That's nothing, I'm blackcr than

my head in the air and day in
and day out, the white youth could
think Of nothing better than my
