Abstract

It Seems to Heywood Broun
Broun, Heywood | July 17, 1929 issue

A young Southerner in the current journal of American Mercury displays rather more than the usual frankness about the Negro question in an article called A White Man in the South. The point he develops is hardly startling, and yet few of his fellows are willing to make the same confession. Another author, named G. Peyton Wertenbaker says in effect that the familiar Southern talk about this or that being for the best interest of both races is sheer bunk. The attitude of the embattled Nordic is conditioned solely by what he feels to be his own self-interest.
