Description
Excerpt from Race Orthodoxy in the South: And Other Aspects of the Negro Question
Among the negro leaders themselves little favor is shown toward the colonization idea. The Booker T. Washington group and the W. E. B. Dubois group are one in rejecting the very thought of separation. Now is it possible that such able men as Washington and dubois have failed to understand the temper of the white people of this country? Are they misled by the optimism of philanthropists? Have they failed to no tice the growing social discrimination against the negro in the North and the increasing economic hatred of the negro in the South? And surely all men see that the old affection felt for the Southern negroes by the slave holding class is rapidly passing away with the departure of the Old-time Southern people from the stage of life. Nor can even a superficial observer miss the clear evidence that the old-fashioned'' human rights doctrine is no longer being embraced can more in this country. The abolitionists have left few spiritual descendants, and the few have little or no power to carry out their views. The last introduction of a political practice Force Bill into the halls of Congress was only a perfunctory performance that was treated almost as a joke. Mean while, the Southern states continue to keep the negro in his place - without showing any popular intention of ever letting him climb higher. As Senator John Sharp Williams has truly said, the trouble lies in the physical presence of the negro.
