The article focuses on books "White and Black," by H.A. Shands and "Birthright," by T.S. Stribling. Shands's book makes clearer than Stribling's the surprising impertinence of the white man's language to the African-American. Possibly this is because the book consists almost entirely of rural Texas talk. Robertson, the hero, is shown as a careworn family man, a man essentially thoughtful and unselfish, yet reduced supposable by custom and, the sacred duty of maintaining racial inequality, to the use of a singularly unpleasant mixture of bullying and jocoseness every time he opens his mouth to a African-American. |
