SOCIAL EQUALITY!


If the compound word socal-equatv' was restricted
from the English language, there would be many white
people who would be lost for something to hide behind
when it came to granting the Negro his constitutional
rights There are white people who know they get the
support OF most of their people against any movement that
would elevate the Negro from his restricted state in life
II thev even mention the word socalequaty' This term
is used by two distinct types of white people, the aspant
pohca venom uses to votes from DISTINGUISHED
south TIE ranting element from ignorance It ia
TINS element who is blind TO the unconstitutional acts of
the south when the Negro is deprived of his guaranteed
rights bit can Law act unconstitutional when il is
designed to give the black any recognition at all
1t is claimed by these political venoms and rantinp
elements that to abolish the poll tax in the eight southern
states that make poll tax recent requisite for voting
would be promoting socialeQuay" and is unconstitu-
tional But keeping the Negro from voting now as a
United States citizen is constitutional Such carrying on
by some whites forces to with Voaire when he
said: Prejudice is the for fools"
If social equality meant equal association of the
races and such plague did exist would be wiling to
stake our anticipated freedom resulting from victory
over the JapNaz powers that those who are always rant
ing and mostly concerned by social equality would get
mighty damn lonesome if they depended Negro assoca-
ton.

There can never be no loyalty
without discipline. We as a group
must learn and act upon the per-
cepts of both loyalty and discip-
line, not necessarily toward others
and their ideals nearly and as
closely as we should toward our
selves as a group and race. Trade
unions, even democracy itself, de-
pend on loyalty for their success
and continuance. There must be
loyalty to ideals, loyalty to OBJ
jectives, loyalty to elected leader
ship. This loyalty must be not
of the type that refuses to weaken
the unity Of our group or our ma
ton by the questioning motives

endure forever thereafter.
Every national and international
union is confronted with unusual

"Doing Good To Those Who

BY A. F. Cunningham

This is a bible statement or
command spoken to all humanity
by one of authority. How well this
command is obeyed We all know
Failing to obey does not nullify the
command. The statement SO Of
ten heard Everyone is doing the
other fellow before the other fell
low does him. is contrary to the
spirit of the law.
The law Of Self preservation
cannot stand up before this divine
command. individuals and nations
stand guilty Of violations. What
are we who claim to be followers
of the lowly Nazarene going to
do abput it? We can do wrong so
long until wrong seems right to
US. For one to say, he or she
is a christian and not keeping the
commands of Christ is hypocricy.
How many individuals or nations
Arkansas State press., 1942-11-27

today can truthfully say that they
have done good or is doing good
to those that have despitefully
used them? How many can say
they have not turned rail for rail ?
What people today is doing good
to those who once held them in
bondage? What nation today is
calling on those whom they fought
to keep as subjects?
How does one feel when he has
to call on one for help that he
has abused and mistreated in
every conceivable way? Does not
memory and conscious remind him
of the past wrong? How does a
nation or race feel when it must
look to those whom they held as
ehatteis, to help protect their
homes and fire sides?
It's better to be one abused than
to abuse. 1t is contrary to our
feelings not to strike back when
we are struck, but doing good to
those who do harm to you is
