There are colored men?and women too?who do not and will not patronize their own, whethei in business or the professions Some of these same people have children that they are making real _ sacrifices to educate. Educate for what? If their own people treat them after their training as sc many of their fathers and moth? crs do ofhersr what's the use o< training? How can they expect their boys and girls to be anything? Of course, it's thoughtlessness, oftinies tinged with selfishness.
