WILSON IT TAKES a lot of courage at times to be conscious of the fact that I am colored and at the same time not feel desperate and have the desire to commit a murder, or if I prefer some milder form of Tenting to feelings, go out and abuse and slap some people in the face.

I pride myself in believing that I am not easily offended, and 1 often pass up be ing affected by abuse that is reaiiy intended for me personally. And yet when some persons definitely mention their objections to the ac tions or work of colored people in general, and for no good reason, I feel like becoming a martyr in defense of the race. Perhaps it's stupid, but thats just the way 1 feel about it Recently, at some gathering of the Indians in California, a little youth who had been fortunate to get out of the slums of some city by way of making a same for himself as an athlete, and who, as most of this type, has more men ey than brains, sponsored the drawing up of a resolution to be forwarded to the movie magnates objecting to colored people acting the part of Indians in the movies. A few drops of Indian blood in his veins have addled his system, and he is under the impression that he Is an Indian Indians honored him and dressed him up in a few feathers, gave him the name of some "Chief," and he proceeded to act like a member of tome feathered birds by doing the parrot act, I would like to have been near enough to cover him with Car and so complete hit dress and feathers. It's getting so now that wa must not attempt anything at all that we are capable of dome enicient ly.

Even to act the part of a character In a. play or movie is now too much for us to do. And all this despite the fact that we are considered "horn actors." As a croup we are considered as mere tools to be used and made fun of. When we originate some thing, someone makes' every ef fort to trace a drop or two of "white blood" in our veins that makes this achievement possible. And then the "white blood" is only discovered the effort is a successful one, and one which some white men can successfully exploit We live lir age of "one way" streets where the white man travels in front to that we may re move the detour signs and fools us that we cannot turn back and find another street that will take us to the city of Success.

Like theep we follow hin and discover too late that we are the "iambs led to the slanehter." Oh, If disgrace for a colored man to portray the char acter of an Indian in the movies. It's a crime for a colored man to play the part of Othello. To be colored and uccestfnl is wrong in any line of endeavor. It is all possible, and has been proved sev eral times, but it just is not right in the white man I eyes If chick ens are stolen, they know who did the deed. If a porter Is wanted, there are wow number, of colored college boys 'who car4till the wa caney.

And all these things can be given much publicity through the press or toe movies, it will be O. K. because it is detrimental to our progress. But too much publicity most not be given to the worthwhile things that we do more efficiently and effectively than other people, even though we are underpaid for our labor. Black men must sot depict the characters of IndixnsI Think that over! We nrwt not earn an hon est livelihood by imitating other people.

But irs alright for. Al Olson, Eddie Cantor. Moras, and Mack, and the numberless other white men to make enormous fortunes imitating' oar own Bert Williams and ia a manner that must often make Bert sing hit "When I Return' song with a new set of words that l. suppose would be very Interesting to hear. If coming events cast their shadows before them, then we are fortunate if we will interpret the signs of these times and realize that we bad better all become Boy ana tie prepared.
