On every side we hear the cry of white supremacy—in America, Canada, Australia, Europe, and even South America. There is no white supremacy beyond the power and strength of the white man to hold himself
against the others. The supremacy of any race is not permanent; it is a thing only of the time in which the race finds itself powerful. The whole world of white men is becoming nervous as touching its own future and that of other races. With the desire of self-preservation,

Out of this very reconstruction of world affairs will come the glorious opportunity for Africa’s freedom. Out of the present chaos and European confusion will come an opportunity for the Negro never enjoyed in any other age,
for the expansion of himself and the consolidation of his manhood in the direction of building himself a national power in Africa.
The germ of European malice, revenge and antagonism is so deeply rooted among certain of the contending powers that in a short while we feel
The germ of European malice, revenge and antagonism is so deeply rooted among certain of the contending powers that in a short while we feel
sure they will present to Negroes the opportunity for which we are organized.
