The HeresY Of Rdcism

Church groups in this country
have been perennially concerned
over the issue of racism. They look
upon it, today, not only as particu-
larly dangerous to a nation at war,
but as serious threat to the estab-
ishment of a lasting peace in the
world. They insist that it is i'm
perative now to face the issue in
a realistic and honest fashion.
That there is a basic heresy in
racism should be made clear to
everyone. It is a heresy to claim
that God did not create all men
equal, that the Negro is inherently
inferior to the white man, physical
ly, mentally, and spiritually, and
hence must be relegated to a lower
plane of social existence. Nazism
is an expression of this heresy.
So, too, we must admit, are the
lynchings, the Jim Crow laws, the
forced segregation and the count
less determinations that the Negro
has experienced in America.
Unless racism is overcome it
will seriously impair, if not COM

had some doubt that such lofty and
righteous sentiments would stand
the test.
Well the men were distributed
where most needed about the City;
a Negro was reached on the list for
promotion to the position of En-
gineer, and appointed. Recently a
number of men were added to the
Department, among these were two
Negroes, and no delegation went to
see either the Chief or Commits

was needed, his name was at the
top, he was appointed. This is as
it should be, but in st. Paul is

that we Negroes owe, and should
give, the officials concerned "a pat

thanks to Commissioner Barfuss
and Chief Sudeith. May their
Tribe increase and their deeds be
emulated.

And now they know. For Los
Angeles, Mobile, Beaumont and De-
troit have spoken more eloquently
than all the high sounding, vain
glorious words about the four free
doms and liberty and equality that
since Pearl Harbor have been
shouted from these shores. The
millions of India know, and the
brown people of the Southwest
Pacific know, and the blacks of
Africa know that Americas pro-
testations of democracy are as
sounding brass and tinkling Gym
balls, and that oppression and per-
secution because of race and color
may be found not only under the
swastika of Nazi Germany but I'M
der the stars and stripes. And they
will have a clearer idea of the per-
spective which America will bring
to the Peace table and to the aspir-
ations for freedom and equality of
the non-white peoples of the world.
We who are American citizens of
African descent, we didn't lose at
Detroit as much as America lost.
It is true that the number of our
dead and dying is greater by far
than that of our attackers who were
evidently aided and abetted by Of
fcers of the law sworn to protect
the lives and property of the citi-
zens no matter what their race
or color. But we lost not prestige,
we lost no respect, we lost no honor.
But America lost, and the measure
of her loss is incalculable. For to
the ends of the earth wherever
there are men and women who are
oppressed and who yearn for free
dom, wherever there are those who
possess skins that are dark, and
they are numbered in countless mil
lions, the luster of Americas name
will be furnished and faith in the
American democracy will begin to
ebb. For what can America tell
Great Britain of India! And how
can America condemn the ruth
lessness of Japan. America which
sprinkles the pavements of her
cities with the blood of citizens
whose only offense is the color of
their skin.
In the face of the pogrom at
Detroit and the increasing bold
ness of those elements of the popu-
lation intent on depriving the

PLAIN TALK

Negro of his rights as a citizen
by threat, intimidation and mass
murder, the silence of the President
of the United States is as strange
as it is disturbing. His is the only
voice that can stay a repetition of
Detroit in a half a dozen American
cities including the city of Wash
ington, where racial tension is at
the breaking point. And it cannot
be expected that Negroes will
supinely submit to these unbridled
and unchecked attacks on their per-
son and their property.
Great caution is being exerted
by the federal government to keep
accounts of the racial disturbances
in American cities from Negro
soldiers on the fighting fronts. But
there is no way on earth to COM
pletely suppress the news, and I'M
less there are assurances from those
high in authority that the Negro
at home will be protected by his
government, there is grave and i'm
mediate danger that the bitterness
and resentment of colored citizens
in America will find expression in
the ranks of colored soldiers who
now face the enemy across the seas.
For how can one fight an enemy
abroad when he fears for his kins-
men at home knowing them to be
at the mercy of enemies just as
savage and brutal as the Germans,
or the Italians, or the japanese.
The Japanese radio is probably
bristling with accounts of the race
terror in America. And it won't
make the task of the American
forces in the Southwest Pacific any
easier. In a score of native tongues
and dialects the Japanese propa-
ganda machine is probably broad
casting with suitable dressing-up
the bloody story of Detroit, point
ing ridicule at Americas preten-
sions of democracy, sowing the
seeds of distrust and hate among
100000 brown men and women
who are in the patch of Americas
armed forces.
It may we'll be that Detroit's
greatest contribution to the war
effort is to make it enormously
difficult if not impossible for
America to conquer Japan. And
that would indeed be high price
to pay for racial prejudice-govern-
mental apathy, and incompetence
and moral cowardice.
