Excerpt from The White Man's Burden: A Discussion of the Interracial Question With Special Reference to the Responsibility of the White Race to the Negro Problem
The situation in the South has been presented in the following chapters, as the writer has seen it for a period of years. He claims that the advantage of being on the ground, as a close student of the existing situation, gives him at least some advantage in the presentation of his views, and a claim to be heard regarding a problem which has so long afflicted our people. From its numerous sides the problem has been often presented, but oftener than otherwise, from view-points of prejudice or partisanship. It betokens signs more favorable, however, that in the most recent works which have appeared on the subject, from the pens of representatives of both races, sentiments have assumed a milder and more assuring tone, while they have not been without the abatement of firmness and candor. It is also gratifying that the extravagance which has characterized so much of the literature adverse to the Negro in the past, is losing its popularity among the people of the South, thousands of whom happen to know that many of the statements which have been made are, to say the least, exaggerated.

Seller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history and dynamics of race relations in the United States, with a focus on the experiences of African-Americans. The author argues that the country's deep-seated racial problems stem from the institution of slavery and the subsequent oppression and discrimination faced by Black people. The book traces the evolution of the race problem from its origins in the slave trade to its present-day manifestations, including mass incarceration, police brutality, and racial profiling. Through a careful examination of historical events and sociological data, the author challenges common assumptions about race and racism, and offers a nuanced perspective on the complexities of racial inequality and the urgent need for meaningful change. This book is a timely and thought-provoking contribution to the ongoing conversation about race in America, providing essential insights for understanding and addressing one of the nation's most pressing challenges.
