So as not to be dissapointed when .you get here. For ^l j r..i /t_? ; i iiijn ui nit- w.unueiiui irungs you near about New York is all fairy tales. In securing positions in New York it is mostly run by nationalities, name ly: white, French, English, Germany,carts;* last the Negroes. All of these nations hdvc four chances out of five in getting jobs, while the Negro has only one.! -_ ? For instance if a Negro-apptted for a job and all of the nations just mentioned are there the boss will hire any of the whites and let the> colored go. ' / ' ' ' In the South the -whites- discrifniNorth they: discriminate according to color. The few who hire colored help do not want any blacks if they can help it. One must bg fair^ light brown >r brown. -But never no blacks. Unfess-It is -laundry work. When ads are put in the papers concerning .colared help it strictly says what color is desired; Most casaMit is light, colored. t Work is very slow now and thou-1 sanqs ot people are out of work. Wanes are sm-aller now tharr they have boon for sometime in New York. Our people feeh it more,than any becausethe whites with hire the ^whites, regardless of nation. If anyone must suffer let the negro feel it. We are the bottom race. The world says let us stay at the bottom. You of our smaller cities in the South have*' mote- business enterprises than Harlem. Most of these who have a little .money don't think of putting it to some-good cause. All they know is to "clown" it out. Long as our lace spends all its cash carelessly we will always be the stool race... ... ;Po. You realize that, half of ,busi-| nesses ar0 run by Jews and other whites in Tlarlem. We still lack cop-! fidence in ourselves. Any of you | that's doing well in the South, stay jthercand he satisfied. Take my advice. For New York is very dissapointing. For a colored man is eolored any where he goes. Don't believe me, ask your neighbor, who was Up here^ and dpesn't seem to worry to come back. They know Put-tbey^are afraid to tell. _ - New York is fine to visSt but a tough place for one to make its home especially after.one has b^en rared in used to gnod surroundings.
