Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from As We See It Inasmuch as the title to this work, "As We See It," may be a little obscure, I offer the following explanation for its adoption: Books upon books have been written on the Negro question, but none have told the story as "We" see it. By "We" I mean the educated Negroes, those of cultured families of the third and fourth generations, those Negroes who see things as other men of their mental caliber see them, who feel the sting of race prejudice most keenly, and at whom the damnable laws of the South are aimed. In the books that have been written the "Jim Crow Nigger" is always in evidence and is always a welcome and fit companion for those who father the "Jim Crow Law" industry. This work is intended to reveal two sides of Southern life, which are carefully obscured, intentionally avoided or deliberately misstated my newspaper and magizine writers. First, in this story we picture that class of Negroes who are doing something, whose lives, homes and successes are the same as those of other men, and who, starting from nothing, have in fifty years accumulated in the aggregate more than two hundred and fifty million dollars worth of property. These people compose that class of American citizens whom the calamity howlers are careful to keep in the background, and whom the Southern press persist in misrepresenting even to the point of malicious lying. Second, we aim to represent, in their true character, another class, lower, both morally and mentally, than the Negro.
