Document Summary
Myth that the negro is going too far ahead too fast. Myth that the negro will take whatever he can get, no matter how little. Even after generations, misery and wretchedness still affect the negro. Despite new laws, life has little changed. Gap between black and whites is not narrowing as many believe. Ideas that the negro is moving too fast are cruel and dangerous, he is not going nearly fast enough. Governments remain complacent while the militancy of blacks arise. Blackish is said to be response to black aggression and excessive demands for equal privileges. Militancy is not the basis for white resentment on a mass scale. Blacks showed to white they that they were committed and united. Mass movement was exposed to ridicule and debasement. Negroes created idea of nonviolent protest but were then lectured about it. Must be a grand alliance of negro and white with the objective of eradicating social evils which oppress both races.
