When the Negro became free
and the south's poor whites"
gained control Of Southern politics.
there developed the pattern Of to-
days segregation: physical separ-
alton with constant reminders Of
black inferiority and white super
iority."
This Jim Crow pattern Of seq
regation, established by the poor
whites who had gained political
ascendancy over the Southern aris-
tocracy or Bourbons, was allowed
to exist, according to DIR. Noble,
because nothing made It impos-
sible."
Between 1890 and 1914, the
North, with an influx of Southern
European. immigrants. and the
rest Of the world with its royalty,
were committed to theories Of rae
ial superiority. based ON what DR..
Noble termed. white, Anglo-Sax-
on Protestant superiority"
During this period. however,
"the American Negro had a great
advantage over the Negro in South
Africa; out of sight, out Of mind"
With Negroes relegated to their
ghettoes and with all else that
physical separation implies, white
men could see Negroes and yet not
see them"
