9. I know that many say that they are willing, perhaps the majority of the people, that we should enjoy our rights and privileges as they do.

I would ask you if you would like to be disfranchised from all your rights, merely because your skin is white, and for no other crime? I’ll venture to say, these very characters who hold the skin to be such a barrier in the way, would be the first to cry out, injustice! Awful injustice! ?
