The Religious Philosophy That They Had Adopted, In My Opinion, Was The Only Thing And Is The Only Thing That Can Remove The White From The Mind Of The White Man And The Negro From The Mind Of The Negro.

If I Did See A White Man Who Was Willing To Go To Jail Or Throw Himself In Front Of A Car In Behalf Of The So-called "negro Cause," The Test That I'd Put To Him, I'd Ask Him, "do You Think Negro, When Negroes Are Being Attacked They Should Defend Themselves Even At The Risk Of Having To Kill The One Who's Attacking Them?" If That White Man Told Me, "yes," I'd Shake His Hand.

If The Various Groups In America Had Been Less Selfish And Had Permitted Different Representatives From The Groups To Travel Into Foreign Countries, And Broaden Their Own Scope, And Come Back And Educate The Movements They Represented, Not Only Would This Have Made The Groups To Which They Belonged More Enlightened And More Worldly In The International Sense, But It Also Would Have Given The Independent African States Abroad A Better Understanding Of The Groups In The United States, And What They Stand For, What They Represent.
