in the race, who have more book
learning than common judgment,
attempt to treat with contempt all
those who do not boast a college
fraternity pin and who cannot
throw in a few French or German
phrases now and then to demon
strate brilliance.
Aside from social grouping based
on personal preferences there
should be one common goal for all
Negroes to seek-that Of progress
in this country and mutual coopera-
tion with each other to attain that
end. There should be and can be no
artificial lines of demarcation as
fur coats, lovely mansions, cars,
college degrees and prominence of
family if Negroes are to become
full-fledged citizens in America.
The idea Of class consciousness
as expressed in this quotation, 1.-THE
Cabots speak to the Lowells and the
Lowells speak only to God" must
be eradicated entirely if the level
Of the Negroes is to be raised.
On Same Level
For regardless Of the training or
eminence of Negroes in this coun-
try all Of us live on "the wrong
side Of the track" 80 far as basic
rights are concerned
Marian Anderson, world re-
nowned contralto of whom the
great Toscanini said possessed a
voice heard only once in a gener-
alton, was snubbed by a group of
snooty old ladies in the national
capital and was barred from Con-
stitution Hall.
The great DR.. George Washing
ton Carver, honored the world over
by kings, queens and scientific dis
coveries, was denied lodging in a
hotel in the worlds largest metrop-
oils, New York.
Joe Louis, world heavyweight
champion, the most noted example
Of his art and clean living, who
St. Paul recorder., 1943-04-30

has contributed through his fights
thousands Of dollars to white char
liable groups, cannot engage a ho-
tel room in any city save a few
democratic centers in the East.
And how can any Negro, man
or woman, be so mean as to want
to look down upon another Negro
simply because he or she has been
fortunate enough to get a decent
job, living in a comfortable home
and wear nice clothes.
And those Negroes who are too
lazy to even try and have something
for themselves, have no right to
criticize and browbeat those who
by dint of hard work and sacrifice
accumulate some of the worlds
goods.
1t is only when more Negroes can
get good jobs, own modern homes
and enjoy few of the good things
Of life that those who possess such
fortunes at present can consider
themselves secure in their higher
status of living.
When the Negro who scrubs
floors, washes clothes, sweeps the
floor can join hands, more common
arm, with the Negro who asserts
U. S. mail, teaches boys and girls,
argues law in the court and prac-
tices surgery in the hospital, the
American Negro will be we'll on the
way to becoming as one in the
American family of people.
St. Paul recorder., 1943-04-30

that our races are segregated does
not within itself prevent the Negro
from rising. A man of any race,
with equal opportunity, may be-
come equal to man of any other
race. But it is always a personal
achievement. It is very idle and
foolish to talk about granting
equality, except equality of oppor-
tunity."-C. C. Spaulding.
