The prevailing attitude of White supremacy has produced within the minds and hearts of Black people throughout the world, but especially in America, a serious problem of inferiority.
This attitude of inferiority has hardened into a system of beliefs and unwritten laws which govern our behavior toward self and others. Therefore, we act in a self-destructive manner, even when we know better. Many Christian preachers, Muslim imams, Hebrew and other religious teachers teach our people positive principles upon which to act. These principles, if acted upon, would relieve us of the heavy burden of ignorance, poverty and want in the midst of plenty.
However, the unwritten law of Black inferiority continues to permeate so effectively and forcefully that every good teacher and his message ultimately are overcome because they are unable to destroy this inferior mentality. Final Call
