What White Publishers Won't Print by Zora Neale Hurston (excerpt)
The trouble with the purely problem arguments is that they leave too much unknown. Argue all you will or may about injustice, but as long as the
majority cannot conceive of a Negro or a Jew feeling and reacting inside just as they do, the majority will keep right on believing that people who do
not look like them cannot possibly feel as they do, and conform to the established pattern. It is well known that there must be a body of waived
matter, let us say, things accepted and taken for granted by all in a community before there can be that commonality of feeling. The usual phrase is
having things in Common until this is thoroughly established in respect to Negroes in America, as well as of other minorities, it will remain impossible
for the majority to conceive of a Negro experiencing a deep and abiding love and not just the passion of sex. That a great mass of Negroes can be
stirred by the pageants of Spring and Fall; the extravaganza of summer, and the majesty of winter. That they can and do experience discovery of the
numerous subtle faces as a foundation for a great and selfless love, and the diverse nuances that go to destroy that love as with others.

Explanation:

In this text, the author holds that Negros and also minorities can feel, think, enjoy of and experience the same things that “the majority” can. Until we realize those things and take them for granted, we will continue discriminating against them, and injustices will continue to happen. With this, the author is trying to make the point that all races are intellectually and morally equal; no race or group of people is superior to another.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
