LANGSTON HUGHES
SIMPLE'S HARD LUCK
“Come to think of it,” said Simple leaning on the bar, “my only
real hard luck was to have been born black in a white country In
a white age. Otherwise, everything is all right. Was I to have been
born black a hundred years from now--in the Second Centennial
of Emancipation instead of this one--in 2063 in an integrated country
in a black age when Africa and India and Asia and China is setting
on top of the world and balancing their bombs against white bombs--
I would not have nothing to worry about. White folks would be coming
to me to ask for integration, and going to the black Supreme Court
to sue to get into Jackson College in Mississippi--that all colored
school to which I read Meridith might be returning since too many
rocks In his soup at Ole Miss has upset his digestion. In 2063
when one of Thurgood Marshall’s grandchildren is Attorney-General
of the United States, he will be asking the white folks to cool off,
take it slow, try all deliberate speed, and editorials in the CHICAGO
DEFENDER, AFRO-AMERICAN, and PITTSBURGH COURIER will
be giving the same advice to their white readers:‘Be cool IWe
black citizens of America believe in equal rights for all, but you
cannot rush such things.’ ”
"Are you implying,” I asked, “that should the darker peoples
get on top in world affairs, they would behave the same as white
nations have behaved over the centuries?’
“I expect they would,” said Simple. “After all, black folks is
only human. And it is human, if you are on top, to think that them
folks what is on the bottom should meek and humble stay there,
and be content with some little old crumb of integration now and
then, and not be agitating all the time for something more. In fact,
agitators and trouble makers might be better off in jail. How long
do you think it would take to train them police dogs hi Mississippi
to change their scent from black to white, and start biting white
folks instead of Negroes as they is doing now? Or would we have to
get a new breed of police dogs when colored folks take over the
police departments in Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia?”
“What cruel projections you put forward,” I said. “Let us hope
the new world of tomorrow will not be a world in which anybody
sets police dogs on anybody else.”
“We will have learned it from white folks,” said Simple.
“And you mentioned bombs,” I said. “Don’t you think a hundred
years from today, mankind will have learned to balance power without
the threat of bombs, atomic, hydrogen, neutron or otherwise? Will
we not be smarter by then?”
“We Is smart now,” said Simple, “but we do not have no sense,
we do not know how to stop hating and fighting and setting dogs to
biting. Just like I do not like to be bit, Ido not imagine white
folks would like to be bit, neither. But they keep putting themselves
in a position to be bit in years to come. How can white folks think
they can set their dogs on dark folks all around the world, and dark
folks will not turn around and set their dogs on them sometime?”
“The dark world, I hope, will be above such retaliation,” I said
'' Mankind should progress toward greater humanity. Races and nations
should live in harmony. Police dogs and bombs, too, should be
come things of the past. Humanity should rise above them.”
“SHOULD and IS is two different things,” said Simple. “And
I do not have no wings to rise above nothing, neither me nor Mere
dith. If Meredith was an angel, he could take his wings and cleve
the air and study ABOVE the University of Mississippi, not in it.
But it is that boy’s misfortune and mine to be born black in a white
country in a white age amongst a mankind that do not know how to
rise. That, 1 reckon, is everybody’s hard luck.”
“Malraux calls it the 'CONDITION HUMAINE,’ ” I said.
“Do he?” said Simple.
