A Responsive Chord

Communists have struck a loud
chord in the affairs of the American
people when they say that the "po
white folk" and Negroes" must
unite. Those who have made a study
of the early development of this
country know that unity between
dented whites and slaves created
quite problem for the landed
groups. The laboring whites existed
on the fringe of society and married
the slaves with reckless abandon I'M
til such actions were prohibited by
law. II was felt that such close re-
lationships would destroy the mo-
nopoly on free and cheap labor as
time went on. The class hatreds that
now exist between the lowly whites
and the unfortunate colored people
were influenced by the ruling class-
es and did not have their inception
from unexpected groups. Monopolies
and trusts are still busy keeping la
boring groups divided just as Eng
land is busy In keeping the Indian
people pickering all the time. Com
munsts will do a fine job If they
awaken the poor whites to the stu
pidity of the despieable system that
has arrayed them against laboring
groups of different color who are
fighting the same system.

More About Amos n Andy Campaign

they deserve or should have, these
big guns wreck our big companies
and destroy the confidence which hon
est Negroes might enjoy but for such
escapades.
THE Enterprise" will join any
agency in a campaign to teach or to
have taught all Negroes the lessons
of honesty, thrift, common-sense and
self-respect. Let newspapers and the
preachers recognize the source of our
weakness in business and remedy
that. 1t can never be accomplished
by attacking some skit, some song,
some drama which portrays the truth
about us. Coon songs were the topic
for severe condemnation some years
ago. But nobody seemed able to re-
alize that these very coon songs along
with all forms of "blues" were the
output of Negroes themselves. We
started them, and then our Negro
leaders get hot in the collar because
white man initiates US. AS long
as Negroes conduct themselves as
outlined above in real life, why be
surprised when such conduct is echoed
in skit, parody, song and drama?
Such agencies as the National Me-
gro Business League with the sup
port of the Negro press and pulpit can
do more good teaching Negroes how
to conduct business along honest
lines than by trying to keep some
body from portraying our evident
weaknesses. Nothing in going daffy
about the "Amos" on the air. We
should worry about the Amos in our
neighborhoods.

All of the characters portrayed by
Amos n Andy in their radio skit are
Objectionable to so-called leaders of

their opinions, provided however. they
are honest opinions which they feel,

THE ENTERPRISE may be prac-
tically alone in this view of the pro-
test against Amos m Andy radio skit
but it prefers to stand that way with
its own idea of a common sense policy
free from axgrinding and grandstand
NAV. And you NAV wager everything
you have on the fact that THE En-
terprise" is a champion of the self
respect doctrine for worthy Negroes
as individuals or as a race group. 1t
has been fighting for many years
for Just that thing.
There is no way in the world for
leaders, whether in church, lodge or
business, to teach the masses self
respect and honest methods until
these leaders themselves have learned
these lessons. In spite of warnings
for a number of years, the Negroes
who have elected to call themselves
leaders and shapers of the destiny of
he race in America are conducting
very fine burlesque on the Fresh
Air Taxicab" business.
OUR BIG BUSINESS FAILURES
Consider our BIG business ventures
if you please. Think of the Standard
Life Insurance Co. What about the
National Benefit Insurance Co.. and
others? If these companies which
have collected thousands of dollars
from the people, had had somebody
exercising commonsense, honesty and
respect for themselves and others
wen half as much as the owners of
he Fresh Air Taxicab Co."-hun-
ireds and hundreds of our people

tually unprotected. How about teach
'ng these Negroes-these big Negroes
some lessons in honesty, thrift and
;elf-resflect? As long as Negroes fur
nish sucl, amazingly incompetent
business sense, nobody should be sur
orised to see the same pictured by
somebody somewhere. You cannot
condemn an artist who has grounds
eor his manifestations. Don't
blame the photographer because the
picture faVors you. All the average
BIG business leaders think about is
what they can get out of the business.

A New Era

A new and hopeful era in race
forecast by the report on lynching
Just issued under the auspices of
the Commission on 1nterracial Co
operation. This searching and out
spoken condemnation of mob eeng-
eance. issued by a representative
group of white and colored southern
university men and editors upholds
in full the facts and representations
broadcast over period of twenty
two years by the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Colored
People.
II demonstrates that men and
women of vision, white and colored,
North and South, are in essential
agreement upon the elements of
deeency upon which not only better
race relations but all orderly gov
eminent depend. II is now a mat
ter of public record. on the author
ity of southerners themselves, that
lynching mobs not only murder the
innocent but seek to poison the
public mind by attributing to mob
victim the crimes against woman
hood of which less than one-fourth
of the lynched persons are even ae-
cused. This report following upon
the reputation of lynching by white
women throughout the South is the
final blow to any justification which
lynehers in the past have sought to
claim for their anarchic dethrone-
ment of orderly processes of law.

Think This Over

The Negro newspaper renders an
invaluable service to the race it
serves but receives little or no sup
port from its readers. The negli-
gible sum you pay for your race
paper hardly meets the cost of the
paper it is printed on. The newspa-
per receives its income from CARRYING
advertisements for business houses.
When you are about to make pur-
chases of any kind, first look in the
advertising columns of your Negro
newspaper and select from the bust
ness houses listed there the places
where you will spend your money.
And--in making your purchases,
merely mention to the clerk or man.
ager that you saw his advertisement
in your Negro newspaper. That ges-
ture costs you nothing but means
everything to your newspaper. Think
that over.

Join The N. A. A. c. P.

Every colored person in America
should aid and assist in the drive
that the National Association For
The Advancement OF Colored People
that Is now being launched. This or
ganization should be maintained and
supported by those it seeks to aid
and should not be dependent upon
the charity of benevolent and well
disposed white people. The colored
people pay for their own pleasure
and they should pay for the battle
being waged to solve their problems.
The National Association has stood
on the front lines of warfare for
the last twenty years and has won
many far-reaching and signal vic
tories. II is respected by whites and
feared by recalcitrants who thrive
off of injustice and exploitation.
The National Association for the
Advancement OF Colored People is
a, virile, active force vitiating the
iniquitous attempts to cruelty the
American colored man upon the
cross of racial hatred. The effects
of its great campaign against Judge
Parker, the rabid southerner who
was appointed to the Supreme Court
bench by President Hoover, are still
being felt. The Senate refused to
confirm the appointment because of
the pressure made upon the sena-
tors by the N. A. A. C. p. Last week,
ex-senator Baird running for Gov
ernor of New Jersey was defeated
because of the stand he took in the
matter. The National Association is
carrying on manfully and 1t be-
hooves colored people with red blood
to carry on with it. Pay for your
membership, it will serve you well.
