achievements of our Marian An
dersons, Paul Robesons, Joe Louis
es, Ben Davises, George Washing
ton Carvers, and so on-those
leading US haven't seen the fact
that the great mass of Negroes
the 20 million and over of US who
make up Americas biggest min
ority group-are being criminally
neglected.
1t would be lovely indeed, if that
small minority of the American
Negroes who have had the ad-
vantages of schooling, exposure to
cultural influences are ready to
take their place in the Negro mid
die class, were all that mattered.
The problem then would be basil
cally changed. The possibilities of
complete Indignation into American
life of the Negro would be brighter.
The efforts of Frederick Doug
lass, W. E. B. Dubois, James Weld
on Johnson, Walter White and
others along this line would not
have been put forth needlessly.
Color Band Holds All Of Us
However, we are bound together
by the one link we cannot change
color. The Jew can join the Baptist
Church, change his name from
Finkelstein to Jones, eat pork and
be as white and indistinguishable
in the white world as the German
who renounces his fondness for
sauerkraut, hogshead and beer. In
such a metamorphosis the Negro
hasn't a chance. He can get a de-
gree from Oxford but he will still
be a Negro. He can invent the
perpetual motion machine, run the
100 yard dash in 9 seconds fat, the
mile in 4 minutes, build a rocket
and ride to the moon and back, but
he will still be a Negro.
AS such, it would seem that he
would recognize his predicament
or status and seek to improve every
phase of it until it meets and beats
down all competition. We have the
individual abilities. We have the
intellect, the individual strength of
character, the numbers with which
to work, yet we are seemingly as
far from that goal as when the
first boatload Of US was dropped at
jamestown in 1919.
The Jews have mass discipline,
an iron-clad system of family life
and parental control and an intense
sense of racial loyalty toward one
another. They are one of Ameri-
cas- smallest minorities, but also
one of its most potent. We have
no mass discipline, our system of
family life hasn't been nurtured
and brought to full bloom. Racial
loyalty among US is distorted. We
are Americas biggest minority, but
its weakest.

IN Danger OF losing every So
cial advantage he has won or
been granted unless he pulls him
self together right away and gets
rid of his own burden. That burden
is, lack of mass discipline, lack of
respect for the rights of others, and
true pride in honest race achieve
ment.
The war is going to end some day
and when it does, many of the
temporary advantages we have
won in the midst of a national
hysteria are going to be taken
away from US by the white man
flushed with victory and with en-
HANGED pride in the abilities of the
Nordic to rule the world; including
its darker peoples.
Dark Future Looms
The prejudices which we fight at
home so valiantly are going to be
more vicious, and necessary to the
white man as he settles down to
reconstruction of his domestic
social order. First and foremost
among the reasons that will be put
forward why the Negro must be
kept in the status of a second rate
citizen or inferior being is that he
cannot control his own people. 1t
will be claimed that he must con-
stantly be supervised by whites
whether by policeman, lynching
mobs, or Jim Crow rules and regu-
lations) to avoid serious con-
sequences to the overall pattern of
American domestic social and eco
nomic values.
The white man is going to point
to all the outward manifestations
Of our lack of control as a basis for
his superior attitude; he is going
to illustrate his case with the in
creasing incidents of our juvenile
delinquency, pointing out cases
which he will contend stress char
acteristic racial tendencies. He is
going to show that Negro children,
masses of them are almost COM
pletely ignorant of the disciplinary
controls that go with American
family life and run wild through a
thousand streets of as many Ameri-
can cities until they either settle
down Of their own accord or are
disciplined by the prison cell, gal
lows or electric chair.
He is going to point out, in his
argument for his reason for putting
increased pressure on the Negro,
that Negro leadership is demanding
and getting more economic and
social advantages than the Negro
public is ready to receive, that
the Negro OF earlier generations
(reared in the fear of the white
man, taught by example to accept
the inferior status in which he was
placed) is typical of the kind of
Negro to be desired to live in the
midst Of the new white" civiliza-
ton the white man intends to build
in this country after the war.
We Suffer Too Much Haste
