The NEGROES l5-Billion Dollar Asset

During the past several months lot has been heard
about the American Negroes 15Bion Dollar annual IN
come and spending power and more recently, certain
Negro leaders and leadership organizations, along with
certain sections of the Negro Press have been calling
upon and urging Negroes to their 15Bilon Dollar
income and spending power against white people IN the
form of boycotts of kind another the best
pom in the Negroes struggle for first class citizenship
One of the most pitiful facts about the Negro
struggle against segregation and discrimination and for
first class citizenship is that he is being given much
foolish advise by many of those who call themselves
Negro leaders.
Any Negro who is not blinded by hatred and emotion
alsm and who has the sense that God gave geese to
use an old saying look around him. whether in the
north south east, or west and that the Negroes
15-Blion Dollar income and spending power is totally de-
pendent upon the goodwill of, and directly from
white people.
And the above is true of the socaled independent
Negro business and the Negro professionals whose
socaed independence from the money in the hands
This to plain enough for any Negro who is not
blinded by hatred and emotonalism, and who has the
that God gave geese
1t is equally plain to see by any Negro who is not
blinded by hatred and emotionaism, and who has the
sense that God gave geese matter what he hears
certain Negro leaders and Negro leadership organiza
lions say and matter what is written in certain
tons of the Negro press, that Negroes want be able
to get to first base trying to fight white people with
white peoples money.
The only asset worth 15billion dollars year in in
and spending power to the American Negro is his
GOODWILL toward the white people, and only the would
be martyr and the fools fails to and appreciate the
value of inter-racia goodwill.

Answer To Councilman Earl Brown

Up in New York the other Sunday in of those
big NAACP Mass meetings following the not guilty
verdict in the Till murder trial. Earl Brown, Negro New
York City Councilman said something about forming
refuge committee to move all the Negroes out of Mis-
sssipp and presumably take them to New York City
other place up north.
At the beginning of the First World War another
migration of Southern Negroes began after the dis
appointments experienced by those who went north at
the call of Dubois and the group of Northern Negroes
who in the bitter fight against Booker T. Wash
ington and his teaching. The north already
developed when this second grafton of Negroes began
and while it has ebbed and flown with the Second World
War and the Korean War, from the first world war
period until this very time the Negro only able to
be absorbed in the northern economy due to the abb
normal economic conditions of wartime prosperity.
Already in an over-deveoped of the country,
those Negroes now in the north may become the
plus and dependable workers in prolonged of peace
In the south, including Mississippi the Negro is
living in the only relatively undeveoped in the
United States with almost unlimited for future
development and having contributed in the free labor
of slavery what others able to give the Negro
has the greater future hope staying in the South and
share in its future development
Moreover the south is the land of the nativity of the
American Negro and those still here remain here out
of choice and out Of love for the land of their nativity
Southern Negroes, including those in Mississippi
have the knowledge and understanding with which to
better their lot matter how dark the picture appears
to those outside the south and they not yet ready
run away from the land of their nativity.
