understanding. Birth of Nation" 1.-THE Glansman and
other hooks and moving pictures perpetuatg the theory
Of white supremacy have influenced millions IN their att-
tade toward the Negro thus making the position of the
Smiths the Grahms Dabneys Ethrdges and ellis all the
more difficult
As an example of this, am quoting from the largest
datnbe that Is designed to create more dlsunty, hatred
and confusion aaong American people ISSUED by the
pace pamphlet is entitled THE Negro Disilusioned' and
Is by Southern White Friend 1t has been reported
that thousands of the pamphlets have been scattered through
out the South The result be in the current yeps
al the Negro haters.
Our Southern White Friend writes ito open the eyes
Of the Negroes (md sone white people, to the actual
status Of the Negro in America; to acquaint them
with that races lack of intellectual background and to pour
oil the waters Of rectal diseord-dsurbed by claims Of
equality that have faetaa support and exist only as
the hollow moekefy Of politics.
Only Negro Ashamed OF Race
"of the five with which the Earth is peopled"
says Southern White Friend only one the Negro is
ashamed Of his and tries to be something other than
what GOD made him. Neither the Red Yellow Brown
want to be white the Negro strives to be-
come Instead of having that prdeof-raee attached to
the white red, yellow and brown races, the black is
wholly lacking in that attribute ashamed Of his ancestry,
and always trying to get as far from it as possbedelud
ing himself with claims of equality with the white race
that not borne out by his appearance his present at
anmens nor his background in recorded history The Ne
gro attempts to conceal his identity by sdesteppng his
racial name, NEGRO and classifying himself with the col
ored races red yellow and brown of whom Ne
sembance to another The Negroes claim to kinshp
with them lies in the absurd logic that since they not
white and he is not white he Is the they
sIf,' continues good Southern White Friend ''as
the Negro claims his good the white race why
does he not content himself with Negro association? Does
not his preference for white associates prove his claims
to be ridiculous in the eyes of the other races If the Ne
gro possesses all the intellectual inventive and adminstra
tive abilities of the white why not prove his contention
by establishing government Of for and by Negroes and
demonstrate his equality with the ruling races white and
Yellow Why such scant attention to that Negro proving
ground Ibera Would the Negroes themselves feel
secure with coasts guarded by fleet manned excusi
lively by Negroes by air force stated and operated by
Negroes by army composed wholly of Negroes? If not
why not?
Doe Slang Up Job
Our good Southern White Friend" has done bang
up job Of spreading racial confusion dsunity and hatred
with his t'Ihe Negro Iisiusioned' He builds up lot
of phony logic to support his promise that Negroes smell
like horses and cames that the Negroes best bet is to
Southern White Friends believe that Abe Lincoln commit
ted cardinal error in granting freedom to the slave and
TO hope in nebuos future when all the whites are in
their the best time for him to ask for the ballot
and the chance to ride southern street seated by
white person.
For every good gesture word by the great liberals
If today the Lillian Smiths the Dabneys the Ethrdges
Tor the ellis, there is vicious evil white man who can
reach "uninstucted" whites than they can This is
seen in "The Negro DsIusioned" No telling how many
copies Of this drve have been distributed throughout the
South got it through the mail Maybe whole lot of
|white people down South and elsewhere did also
