Blacks should expect nothing from white people except duplicity and amoral agendas. The sooner this is come to realization widespread the sooner Blacks will ave no choice but to become self sufficient again, and stop looking for justice in the courthouse. Justice, fairness, and equality are but vain concepts in those halls. No oppressor in history has ever given justice to his victims.
However, Black people tend to look for these things, justice, equal opportunity to show that they are human just as good, suitable. This thing should not be, for if you turn the mirror of the past upon these people the pedestal of beauty, intelligence and divinity they bestow upon themselves to set the standard for the world is a house of lies. When Black people realize this, they'll understand that whites are human and far from the standard, then they will cease wanting things from them, and only expect the absolute best of themselves.
Let me give you a word of the philosophy of reform. The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. The conflict has been exciting, agitating, all-absorbing, and for the time being, putting all other tumults to silence. It must do this or it does nothing. If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters.
This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. In the light of these ideas, Negroes will be hunted at the North and held and flogged at the South so long as they submit to those devilish outrages and make no resistance, either moral or physical. Men may not get all they pay for in this world, but they must certainly pay for all they get. If we ever get free from the oppressions and wrongs heaped upon us, we must pay for their removal. We must do this by labor, by suffering, by sacrifice, and if needs be, by our lives and the lives of others.
