Du Bois observes that “there is no likelihood just now of [the Negroes] being
forcibly expelled” but continues:
“So far as that is concerned, there was no likelihood ten years ago of the Jews being
expelled from Germany. The cases are far from parallel. There is a good deal more
profit in cheap Negro labor than in Jewish fellow citizens, which brings together
strange bed-fellows for the protection of the Negro. On the other hand one must
remember that this is a day of astonishing change, injustice and cruelty; and that many
Americans of stature have favored the transportation of Negroes and they were not all
of the mental caliber of the present junior senator from Mississippi. As the Negro
develops from an easily exploitable, profit-furnishing laborer to an intelligent inde-
pendent self-supporting citizen, the possibility of his being pushed out of his American
fatherland may easily be increased rather than diminished. We may be expelled from
the United States as the Jew is being expelled from Germany.” {Dusk of DawUy p. 306.)
Unlike Du Bois, I am inclined to believe that it is less the economic rise of American
Negroes to economic independence and more their submergence into unemployment
and public relief which will spell the danger. If I am right, the security for the
American Negro will be, first, an economic policy which will avert more unemploy-
ment, and second, a continued fortification of the American Creed.
