I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow damned up in
my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not
belong to the sobbing school of Negrohood who hold that nature
somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal and who feelings are
hurt about it. Even in the helter-skelter skirmish of my life, I have
seen that the world is to the strong regardless of a little
pigmentation more or less. No, I do not weep at the world – I am too
busy sharpening my oyster knife.
