+W. E. B. DuBois writes:
+> A people thus handicapped [by systematic inequality] ought not to be asked to race with the world, but rather allowed to give all its time and thought to its own social problems. But alas! while sociologists gleefully count his bastards and his prostitutes, the very soul of the toiling, sweating black man is darkened by the shadow of a vast despair. (DuBois 1903, 9)
+How do you interpret this? What is the vast despair?
