"There is, however, a somber point in the social outlook of Americans. Theirsense of equality and human dignity is mainly limited to men of white skins.Even among these there are prejudices of which I as a Jew am clearlyconscious; but they are unimportant in comparison with the attitude of the'Whites' toward their fellow-citizens of darker complexion, particularlytoward Negroes. The more I feel an American, the more this situation painsme. I can escape the feeling of complicity in it only by speaking out."Many a sincere person will answer: 'Our attitude towards Negroes is theresult of unfavorable experiences which we have had by living side by sidewith Negroes in this country. They are not our equals in intelligence, sense of responsibility, reliability.'"I am firmly convinced that whoever believes this suffers from a fatalmisconception. Your ancestors dragged these black people from their homesby force; and in the white man's quest for wealth and an easy life they havebeen ruthlessly suppressed and exploited, degraded into slavery. The modernprejudice against Negroes is the result of the desire to maintain this unworthycondition."
