Show OUR REVIEW of the past and the future of the american ne negro gro by D W gulp C ua p A M U M D x IN using our very simple illustration we clearly demonstrated that every person who contemplated on purchasing or using a L horse in any manner maer whatever that such person would naturally select the black blac k horse for the simple reason that the black horse would be superior in every respect and more desirable in every way than the white horse although there might be a few persons in in each community who would prefer to continue to jog along behind their poor old and knock kneed horses for no other reason than that they were white but comparatively speaking they would be very few and far between now if every negro throughout M our land was well groomed and well fed and if he could afford to reside in an elegant brown stone mansion and drive tour four in hand and if he was only actively v and heavily interest edin the banking business and in all the other commercial industrial and manufacturing enterprises then he would not experience the cult yin in securing a front seat in any first class theater or opera house or hotel and a very large majority of all the religious organizations izat ions and similar organizations aou would la gladly receive the negro into full fellowship so it must be perfectly apparent to all the members of our race that it is our past and present condition which prevents the negro from enjoy enjoying ing all the privileges which are enjoyed by the white man one of the greatest obstacles which the negro will have to contend with and to encounter for at least three hundred years to come is the fact that he has permitted himself to occupy uch such a servile and such an ilu unworthy worthy position in every way for the past two thousand years the transition 0 of any race of people from a condition of abject slavery and servitude to that of absolute freedom and independence is always fraught with a great my many difficulties and it that a long period of time must elapse before the negro to be able to cm can rmon reasonably ably expect benj enjoy oy an all his civil his social and his 1 political Doli rights before pas passing aug ou on to the emoo aeration era tion u oi dt other portions of doctor gulps article ardele we desire to admon iab idl all our brethren to adhere to the advice which the immortal bard of stratford gave to roderigo Bo derigo the venetian gentleman shakespeare ur g md that antle gentleman mall to put money 31 for there is eno purse that money cannot em not buy ip T 4 we Weca em BL fallai endorse all the sen tangents brits ts whish dr br culp gives ex to ahk the atti JV chick t ue negro gm assumed dure garthel period 3 it aber oi of i car N gt tbt an vms 3 rj r J S J SS immediately tey sats sat S nur nuro o fi aw v aw at mam ah 6 1 tes X au and it E e K rug bifid S abbi 0 i aaita W 4 gai A v R ag 5 ac M urd a 4 M I 1 1 M 4 i 21 tl as southern states the carpet and used the poor ignorant members of our race as a cats paw for the consummation of a system of legislation and corrupt management of the affairs of the state that ever disgraced or demoralized a civilized community the effect of which was simply to 0 degrade and to debauch our helpless V and our inexperienced brother we wal refrain from elaborating upon the disgraceful and fraudulent failure of the edmans Fre savings bank until later on but it is sufficient to say at this time that was one southern outrage which was never used for political purposes by the leaders of the g 0 p whenever we permit to meditate upon the enormous debt of two hundred and ninety three million dollars which was riveted upon the southern people with the aid of our race and the carpet it is up no wonder to our mind that a majority of the southern whites were utterly opposed to carpetbag carpet bag rule it is no wonder that they are not in favor of allowing the negro to control all the political affairs of their respective states the course which the negro pursued during the reconstruction period will continue to redound to his disadvantage for a great many years to be continued |
