Excerpt from The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man
These pages also reveal the unsuspected fact that prejudice against the Negro is exerting a pressure, which, in New York and other large cities where the opportunity is open, is actually and constantly forcing an unascertainable number of fair-complexioned colored people over into the white race.

This vivid and startlingly new picture of conditions brought about by the race question in the United States makes no special plea for theN egro, but shows in a dispassionate, though sympa thetic, manner conditions as they actually exist between the whites and blacks to-day. Special pleas have already been made for and against theN egro in hundreds of books, but in these books either his virtues or his vices have been exag gerated. This is because writers, in nearly every instance, have treated the colored American as a whole; each has taken some one group of the race to prove his case. Not before has a composite and proportionate presentation of the entire race, embracing all of its various groups and elements, showing their relations with each other and to the whites, been made. It is very likely that theN egroes of the United States have a fairly correct idea of what the white people of the country think of them, for that opinion has for a long time been and is still being constantly stated; but they are themselves more or less a sphinx to the whites.
