Wealthy Northern Black Americans Arguing Against Poor Southern Blacks Migrating To Los Angeles In

Negroes and Mulattoes don't offend me, I wouldn't want to live around them either.

Some of these people are not Black, that one guy is White..most of those people are Don Peebles dark skinned White types.

Northern Blacks talking to poor Southern Blacks migrating to the North:
YOU ARE NOT LIKE US!!!!!

Northern Blacks talking down on poor Southern Blacks migrating to the North for better opportunities:
“With these people (Southern Blacks) coming in without our (Northern Blacks) intellectual nor our sociological bracket, I hope they are not going to be a handicap for us and they will find their own level. It does sound like I am being a snob but I don’t mean it that way, but they (Southern Blacks) are used to living a certain way but I hope that they (Southern Blacks) too might rise above their origin (The South) and one day be our associate (Northern Blacks).”

THEY ARE NOT LIKE US!!!!!!!!!!!

Northern Blacks talking down on poor Southern Blacks migrating to the North for better opportunities:
“People (Northern Blacks) are concerned about this (southern Blacks migrating to the North)”
“Majority of these people (southern Blacks) are not like us. Many of us left the South to get away from this problem. We (Northern Blacks) are a little embarrassed by the fact that we are going to have a mass element (southern Blacks) come in that is going to create a tremendous social problem in our community, to which we find a great deal of difficulty relating to.“
“The Negro has two professions. One profession is having your own field of medicine, dentistry, law or psychiatry. Anything but the profession of being a Negro. And many of us (Northern Blacks) have come up here to escape this second profession of being a Negro (Southern Blacks).
We have been up here a while, Working hard in our own field only to find out here are these same problems (Southern Blacks) of 1600 Negroes a month coming into Los Angeles. Now this is going to give us problems. In our own views, we (Northern Blacks) don’t identify with these Negroes (Southern Blacks) that are coming in with their carpet-bags that are going to cause us problems.”
A carpetbagger is a derogatory term for an outsider who moves into a new area to exploit the local situation for personal, financial, or political gain.
The term carpetbagger originated in the United States during the Reconstruction era (1865–1877) following the Civil War. It was originally used by white Southerners to describe white Northerners who relocated to the South. These newcomers were disparagingly called "carpetbaggers" because they supposedly arrived with all their belongings packed into cheap, makeshift suitcases made of carpet fabric. Southerners accused them of taking advantage of the war-torn, economically unstable region to gain political and economic power or buy up cheap land.
