Rather, the problem in contemporary America is that decades of incarceration and segregation have caused blacks, as a people, to lose hope.
Hailey went on to assert that oppression, which has become part of the black psyche, breeds a mentality of hopelessness.
He stated, "Whenever a people lose hope, there is no hope for that people."
Subsequently, this hopelessness forces blacks to reduce their standards and live down to them.
Hailey argued that this ultimately results in economic depression and education deficiencies in the black community.
According to Hailey, here lies the injustice that must be fought against in contemporary America.
He pleads that we, as a nation, must unite in harmony with one another to create a society where each individual sacrifices himself or herself for the improvement of others in particular and for the betterment of society in general.
According to Hailey, we must come together in communion with our brothers and sisters to ameliorate the plight of those who suffer inequalities.
In doing this, Hailey is confident that we can return to the divine principles upon which our nation was founded.
He said, "One nation under God, with liberty and justice for all."
