Strategy For Negroes

be intensified on both sides. The
victim seeks his vicarious revenge,
and the prepetrator seeks reasons
to explain and justify his crimes.
And, of course, when a difference
in economic levels makes one group
supposed threat to the others
standard of living, all prejudices
are exacerbated. In the case of the
Negro the threat has been met by
wage and job discrimination. This
keeps large sections of the Negro
population poor, ignorant, and lack
ing in ambition. These attributes
are then cited as reasons for dis
elimination. The answer is obvious
ly that if the Negro is actually in
ferior, discrimination is superf1u-
GUS: he will not be able to compete.
All the factors so far mentioned
affect the relations of races in gen.
eral and of the many racial groups
within this country. But in the
case of the Negro, added to all
these considerations is another cir
cumstance, apparently unique in
history, that utterly overshadows
them. The Negro is an ex-slave
who carries the mark of his former
status in his fermentation. It is the
status rather than the color which
is the key to his present position.
An Apache, for example, is as dark
as the average Negro, but a white
American would feel no chagrin at
finding an Apache in his ancestry.
For the Indian was not a slave.
That this susceptibility to en-
slavement is a permanent charac-
teristic, that the stigma is 'treal"
or deserved, is contrary to the
teachings of history, philosophy,
religion, and ethnology. Races and
cultures rise and fall more slowly
than individual families but in the
same fashion.
Certainly, to discuss the issue on
its lowest plane, many of the
bound-boys, indentured servants,
and transported felons who arrived
in this country were as much
"slaves" as the Negro. Certainly,
too, the development Of both races
in this country shows that talent
and ability are latent in slaves of
any color. It may well be that a
white mans emigrant ancestors
were substantially slaves, economic
or penal. But it is the white mans
good fortune that the fact cannot
be determined by his appearance.
We have, then, racial group
that while by no means "foreign"
is nevertheless not generally ac-
cepted either as a social or an &C.
onomic equal. Many of this race
"pass" as whites, but unless a
Negroes color is light enough to
permit this he remains under the
shadow of his heritage. Nothing
could be more natural, more credit
able to the Negroes spirit, than
the determination to escape this
shadow, to better himself, to obtain
an opportunity equal to that of
other men. It is impossible to think
of any reason whatever against this
honorable desire. Certainly, there

pable or unwilling to face the Facts
written in blood in Detroit, Mobile,
Beaumont and only Heaven knows
where next it shall be written.
These facts are:
/. That a compromising laissez-
faire policy in respect to the
Negroes fundamental rights as
citizens, breeds contempt for law
and order.
2. That the persistence of seq
regation and discrimination on the
basis of race and color in the army,
navy, marine corps and various
departments of the federal govern
ment serves to strengthen those
elements of the population intent
on the propagation of Nazi con-
cepts of racial superiority in
America.
8. That these elements are in
reality in the minority but they
are highly articulate and vocifer-
Gus and must be dealt with as any
other subversive elements whose
actions are contrary to the war
aims of the American government.
4. That the President himself
must take positive action to crush
these "copperheads" who create
disunity at home and embarrass-
ment abroad.
The President is the busiest man
in the world. He faces a rebel
lious if not a hostile Congress.
From the ranks of his own party
have come his most bitter antago-
nists resolved at any cost to re-
pudiate the implications, and sabo-
tage the consequences of the New
Deal. The reactionary South has
succeeded in enforcing it's will on
nearly every project which will
serve to benefit the Negro. A most
glazing example of this is the
regulation of the National Housing
authority that federal funds can
not be used to build new housing
open to citizens without regard to
race. Thus Alabama and Missis-
sippi where racial segregation is
legal impose their will on the State
of New York where racial segrega-
ton is illegal and where mixed
housing has been an unqualified
success.
The President must depend, then,
to a large extent on trusted
advisers. If they have the perspec-

By James Boyd in the Nation

Recently A. Philip Randolph,
president of the Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters, was quoted
by PM as having said that the Ku
Klux Khan was behind John Temple
Graves of the Birmingham Gage
Herald" and Virginius Dabney of
the Richmond "Times-Dispatch. "
Asked by the present writer to
comment on this report, Mr.. Ran
dolph declared that he had said
rather that the two expressed the
spirit of the Khan. This distinction
is minor. Two outstanding Southern
liberals have been classed with the
Khan by one of the most prominent
Negroes in America. It is not a
unique incident: there have recently
been numerous Negro attacks on
liberals, North and South.
So general, in fact, on the part
of Negroes is this new attitude to-
ward both white and Negro liberal
ism that it carries the mark of de-
liberate strategy. If it is strategy,
then it should be based on what is
called in military parlance an "esti-
mate of the situation" No strategy
is likely to be effective that does
not first weigh the elements for and
against its success. But so far
as is known, this estimate has not
been made by the Negroes who are
practicing the strategy. Before dis
cussing the prospects of their cam
paign then, it will be worth while
to make that estimate taking into
account the basic factors which af-
feet the Negroes position in
American society.
Most rudimentary of those fac
tors is mans primitive antagonism
to the strange. The alien cast up
on the beach is killed because his
color, speech, smell are different.
The impulse is rooted in natures
urge to eliminate the atypical from
her breeding program and must
therefore be reckoned with in all
contacts between physically diff
ferent races, however tragically
misapplied. When instead Of the
solitary castaway great numbers of
aliens are involved, this primitive
instinct against the strange is
powerfully reinforced by a group
instinct to defend the cultural
heritage. Probably the strongest
motive behind this attitude is the
determination of race to keep it's
children like itself. It is characters
tic Of all races to be uneasy lest
the succeeding generation fall away
from the parents precious stand
ards. A threat to change children
from replicas of ourselves into be-
ings of a different kind stirs us to
fierce resistance. This is true even
though the alien host was DELHI
erately imported, as were both the
Negroes in the South and the
Orientals on the West Coast.
Lastly, wherever there is his
tory of violence and outrage be-
tween physically different races, it
is obvious that the prejudices will

men there that the most important
result Of the Casablanca conferences
had been that Vichy was no Longer
