| Summary | "Chinese vs. Negroes as American Citizens" by Samuel Raymond Scottron is a thought-provoking discussion on racial integration and national identity written in the late 19th century. This publication delves into the perceived comparisons between the Chinese and African American communities in the context of citizenship and assimilation into American society. Scottron, a respected Afro-American figure and member of the School Board in Brooklyn, presents arguments addressing the advantages and challenges faced by both groups. In this letter and paper, Scottron explores the so-called "negro problem" amidst the backdrop of America's expanding territorial ambitions. He asserts that the African American has been afforded full citizenship rights and has made substantial progress, stating that previous societal fears regarding their integration should be reassessed. Contrasting the two races, he argues that African Americans, unlike Chinese immigrants, possess a unique allegiance and understanding of American ideals, having no attachment to foreign institutions. Scottron champions the idea that the qualities inherent in the African American community make them invaluable contributors to the nation's growth and stability, suggesting that instead of harboring fears about new immigrant populations, the U.S. should recognize the established place of African Americans as integral members of American society.
