Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Duty to the Negro Between a real problem and an imaginary problem there is essential difference. In every live and progressive nation there will never be any lack of real problems. But a people may develop an intellectual morbidness that magnifies the slightest friction into a perilous condition. Doubtless many of the so-called American problems are only creatures of a morbid sensitiveness of mind, into which many men have worked themselves. Just at this time the negro problem has been set forth as one of America´s greatest issues, and, since the negro has his home in the South, it is regarded as the supreme problem of Southern civilization. How much of this problem is real and how much of it is fictitious need not be discussed. No doubt there is much of it that is ℜ but be that as it may, the fact should never be overlooked that no problem can be settled in the white heat of passion. Passion aggravates; it never settles an issue. So the white man who hates the negro and the negro who hates the white man will render no assistance in settling this race problem. Men trained to look at a question in the clear light of a sober judgment and to consider all the details of it are the men who settle the questions of a civilization. There are four phases of the negro problem, as there are four points from which his life may be viewed. These are his religious, his industrial, his social, and his political duties and progress. The present agitation of the negro problem concerns itself almost entirely with his political relations and tasks. It is true that the question of his social relation is brought into the discussion. However, no one will deny that the present prominence given to the study of the negro came out of an intense political sensitiveness.
