Lack of Real Rdl.
By Dan Gardner

The person who can write or de-
clare in one sentence, not over
twelve words, what the Negro
actually wants, should be given the
best seat in the Hall of Fame. His
name should be spoken in awe or in
hushed whispers. He should be
reverenced throughout the ages.
An international holiday of not less
than two weeks should be observed
in his honor.
Over the years there have been
many great gatherings of Negro
minds to examine, study and evalu-
ate the problems of the race. There
have been written miles upon miles
of words on the subject by the best
pen pushers we have produced. Yet,
out of this welter of words and
ponderous findings we have not
seen thus far the ideal, simple sum-
nation of what the Negro wants
done in plain, unadorned language,
pithy, yet ringing with truth, stark
and real, yet symphony of practi-
cal idealism.
Clash of Views
The reason this has yet to come
into being is that there exists
among our leadership a clash of
viewpoints, a confusion of tongues
babbling at the foot of Babel while
the tower totters. There are some
who believe a common objective
does not exist and that certain
things are for certain of US and
certain other things are for
certain other of US. They contend
that all Negroes are not alike and
that which might be good for some
would be bad for others. They are
the opponents of division and the
advancement of the certain few on
the backs of the retarded many.
Then there are some among our
leadership who believe in playing
the ends against the middle, hop
ing that in such an atmosphere
they can push across selfish ambi-
tons and personal programs which
benefit only the individual playing
that kind of game. They pit theology
against theology, color against
color, class against class; they
gamble with the lives and well-be-
ing of generations yet unborn for
the price of new and gaudy auto
mobile, a six-room luxury apart
ment, trip to the seashore for the
summer and the praise of the white
man for job we'll done on his own
behalf.
Some Personally Spotless
And there are those among our
leaders who sincerely wish to do
something, but who are continually
lost in labyrinth of bewilderment.
They bring to their self-assumed
task spotless personal records, but
little of the sane, stable qualities
that frequently produce ascetic
leaders in the heroic mould of a
Gandhi, a Tito, a Stain or an
Eboue. They are actually follow
ers, not leaders, because they lack
the spark of true leadership and
are minus the vision to conceive
the iron determination to carry
through.
The programs of our leading or

Does Anybody Know
What Negro Wants;
Gardner Asks Question

consistencies, contradictions; they
are wordy and repetitious, and
when boiled down, say little. At
present in this grave hour of world
wide turmoil and strife when the
tides of fortune are shifting mo-
mentarily; when the status of
whole races are being weighed in
the balance, and while history is
being rewritten each second, our
goal is still obscure beyond a hori-
ION clouded with antiquities,
buried beneath a colossus of mis-
conception and conflicting beliefs.
These are reasons why the singular
ity of purpose, the clarity of vision,
and the depth and brevity of simple,
yet sound, conviction have not as
yet been employed in creating the
long awaited one sentence demand
of Americas 20 million black peo-
pie, and the untold millions of our
blood brothers scattered over the
globe.
Full of EMISSIONS
Examine any program at random
of some of our prominent race
rights outfits. Such statements as
wider participation" "more receg-
nition," fuller Indignation" and
greater opportunity" stud the
whole thing. Few statements are
positive. They are evasive of ex-
pressing the actual desire. An i'm
piled fear of offending those upon
whom the demands are made is
seen at a glance. We have held
many solemn conferences, conven-
lions, national meetings. Out of
them have come mine point" and
ten point" and fourteen point"
programs.
None has yet appeared where the
actual wants of the race are mir
rored in a short terse statement
that is Enthusiastically clear. Moses,
as the first leader of the Jews,
gave that race its most powerful
platform that has come down un-
furnished through the ages: "Let
My People Co." The Jew has built
worldwide propaganda machine
on that classic statement. It is the
rallying call to Jews everywhere
for struggle against the modern
Pharaohs, whether they be Hitler
ties or Arabs, Italian or Rumanian.
Adam Powell Scores
Such a demand, short and terse
as it is, could very we'll be the
spiritual rallying cry of Negro peo-
pie everywhere were it not for the
divisions that exist among us be-
cause of adverse concepts and
teachings by those who presume
to lead.
The Rev. Adam C. Powell, Jr.,
of New York, recognized the po-
tency and magic of a briefly stated
desire at one of his many rallies
and said, "Let My People Go Now!"
Our trouble is that we don't want
to go anywhere, whether to COM
plete freedom or to a conscious con-
ception of our place in modern
society. This is because we have
become tired, weary of long drawn
out statements that show the result
of befuddled thinking. We might
react differently, however, when
our purposes are stated anew and
in the same mould as was Moses.
