Race Distinctions in American Law
Stephenson, Gilbert Thomas
African Americans -- Politics and government; Law -- United States -- History; United States -- Race relations
justice to both races.” All people, white and black, should unite, not
to secure the repeal of the suffrage laws, but to secure their
enforcement with absolute impartiality.
The welfare of both races—and this conclusion applies equally to the
other non-Caucasian races—requires the recognition of race distinctions
and the obliteration of race discriminations. The races should be
separated wherever race friction might result from their enforced
association. The white race cannot attain its highest development when
continually venting its spite upon the less fortunate race. Nor, indeed,
can the Negro race reach its highest development when continually
subjected to the oppressions of the more fortunate race.
Such a recognition of race distinctions and such an obliteration of race
discriminations as are here advocated constitute principles by which all
people, of every section and of every race, may stand and labor for the
promotion of good feeling between all sections and harmony between all
races.
