This … has long been the attitude of the ordinary white man, but we had scarcely thought to see this attitude illustrated in an article by Norman Angell.
3.
Mr. Angell by way of climax reminds us of the use of white French prostitutes for colored soldiers in France; and his use of this illustration is apparently not to make us hate prostitution–for when was there an army that did not thrive on prostitution and rape–but rather to make his readers feel that social equality in France on any plane is a menace to the modern Anglo-Saxon world!.
4.
Of course Mr. Angell does not say this in so many words; however, every implication of his article points this way. The Negroes of Anglo-Saxon lands are uniting to fight intolerable aggressions; they are thinking black in the face of a white world. French Negroes, on the other hand, (at least the civilized and the cultured), are thinking French because they have been treated as men by Frenchmen. This to Mr. Angell's mind constitutes a grave danger and that danger is that the French policy of treating Negroes decently may in the end compel England and America to do the same and open parlors and brothels to black gentlemen and soldiers. This is what he calls the “Negro conquest of France,” and this is what he fears with a perfect Fear!.

Darkwater, p. 114. With a harshness and indecency seldom paralleled in the civilized world white masters on the mainland sold their mulatto children, half-brothers and half-sisters, and their own wives in all but name, into life-slavery by the hundreds and thousands. They originated a special branch of slave-trading for this trade and the white aristocrats of Virginia and the Carolinas made more money by this business during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries than in any other way.

“Tis the Octoroon ball! And the halls are alight!.
9.
The music is playing an old-time “Galop”
10.
The women are “fair,” and the cavaliers white,
11.
(Play on! fiddler-man, keep your eyes on your bow!)
12.
Cocodrie! Cocodrie! what strange shadows you throw
13.
Along the dark streets, by your hand-lantern's ray!.
14.
Light “les belles milatraisses” to the portal, that they
15.
May pass; but is doubly barred, black slave! to you:
16.
And the lilt of the old Creole song goes this way:
17.
18.
The music grows madder! the ball's at its height!.
19.
For beauty and kisses, it's Hey! and it's Ho!.
20.
These women are fair—for an hour a night—.
21.
(Play on! fiddler-man, keep your eyes on your bow!)
22.
And for all dull to-morrows, to-night who'd forego!.
23.
The music grows madder! “Play! Trouloulou! play!”
24.
Your women are frail, and your masters are gay!.
25.
Cocodrie in the dark marks them flee and pursue!.
26.
And the lilt of the old Creole song goes this way:
27.
“Trouloulou! Trouloulou! c'est ps zaffaire a tou!”
28.
They are ready and willing to love or to fight!.
29.
Hot blood is aflame! and the red wine aflow!.
30.
These women are theirs! who dare question their right!.
31.
(Play on! fiddler-man, keep your eyes on your bow!)
32.
Who is it that prowls in the dark to and fro,
33.
To and fro–there! outside!–The door bursts! and at bay!.
34.
Cocodrie! in the entrance! not easy to slay!.
35.
(Hands off! you mad fiddler! or die with him, too!)
36.
And the lilt of the old Creole song goes this way:
