Mr. Lenox
Remond (1842) in his speech of the Rights of colored Citizens in travelling had
said that the rights, privileges, civil liberties and immunities are all
measured upon the complexion of the citizens. Normally it is said that all the
people are equal but that’s not at all the case if it would have been than no
discrimination would have occur. He had said that he as a colored man is
exposed in his own country while in other countries such as England and
Scotland he had been treated in private and public respectfully without even
noticing the complexion. While travelling he had highlighted that complexion
matters more than the personality. The conductor had ordered the other two
people who were sitting beside him to get out of the carriage. It is so
humiliating to not to know about the person’s character but judging him as per
his color complexion. He felt that he was just separated because of the color.
It should not happen. The people are not of the color by their choice, they
should be treated with justice and humanity.
Mercer Langston (1855) in his speech
of there is no full enjoyment for anyone in This Country has said that we see
that even the eagle’s hates confinement and cage. In the same way we should
accept that the man should be freed and independent s every man is equal and no
one is allowed to make any one slave. Every one has feelings which he wish to
complete in his life but we see that no one today is impendent and every one is
covered with so many problems. It should be taken into notice that we are
living in an modern age but still we have some people which are of old styles
and wanted to have slaves. They should understand that a man is born independent;
this is the biggest reason why all men should be remaining sovereign. This
tells us that slavery is not a good thing and we should try our best to
eradicate it.
C. Nell (1855) Schools are the place
for learning but now it has became the place in which students tries to become
superior to another. It has been seen that the rights of the children are not
properly followed by the administration and they just keep on looking when
these rights are violated. The basic principle is that every student is equal
and has same right of education regardless of his cast, creed or color. Mostly
it is not observed in the institutions. The students are equal and have equal
right to get education and knowledge. We should encourage every child to learn
and to go schools but they are afraid of racialism. So we ought to terminate
this custom.
Overall the
philosophy of civilization has been explained in all the three speeches that
there is no respect for the colored people and the slaves. They are not treated
like they are even humans. Although in Langston’s speech he has highlighted
that anti- slavery movement was also started which did have little but some
effect on the people. The comparison between all three is that all three are
based on the color complexion of the people by which they are not treated like
other white men. Thus the point is that every person regardless of their color
should be treated with respect.
