White shall not neutralize the black, nor good compensate bad in man, absolve him so: life's business being just the terrible choice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Everything's not black and white. We choose to make bad decisions or not.
The white man's happiness cannot be purchased by the black man's misery.
It's not white versus black any more, it's haves versus have-nots. Unless the black middle-classes unite to promote the interests of the black underclass, tension between them is inevitable. What we, the black middle class have to do, is think of a strategy to avert that.
It demonstrates to his simple mind in the most positive manner that we have no prejudice against him on account of his race, and that while he behaves himself he will be treated the same as a white man.
There is no black-and-white situation. It's all part of life. Highs, lows, middles.
The power of the white world is threatened whenever a black man refuses to accept the white world's definitions.
There's nothing wrong with white if it's all right.
Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.
While it is desirable to build up the colored race, we must not sacrifice our best and purest white friends.
The man who in this world can keep the whiteness of his soul is not likely to lose it in any other.
