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.
