But the fact remains that so-called Negroes are damaged en masse by the imposition of what I agree with Mr. Gillman is an artificial barrier, as, indeed, are the so-called whites, though their scars are less likely to show up in the simple test between "scientist" or "drunkard." This barrier, however, is not only...
