Amdmttv » , In the March issue of the Lincoln "News" there was an editorial in which the writer questioned the possibility, at .least the plausibility, of the American Negro’s efforts to ex- j press a real, deep-seated, patriotic feeling toward America. ¡The writer has been asked to defend himself, a challenge , which is th«> occasion of this article. I-et us, therefore, call a spade a spade, and without any conscious attempt at the sentimental, look at the Negro and | bis peculiar position in American life. Through no fault of his the Negro has physical characteristics which clearly «lif | ferentiate him from the dominant group beside and w ith j whom he lives. This marked physical difference makes him a marked individual who, as the so-called “submerged tenth. ’ is shunted off to himself into a social, economic, and spiritual world, entirely his own. 8.
