This article focuses on issues related to racism. The author says that when things is good, it's not so critical. But when things get bad, like now, like the depression starting in, the advantage of color really amounts to something. Race is only used when it's to somebody's advantage, and the author does not mean the workingman's advantage. It's never to the advantage. It's always an advantage to the man that's making the money, who's using these guys, to use this thing to divide them. During the war, when people had to do it, they did it together. At critical times, man forgets color.
