Memo to the Loud
and Wrong

Because life's not all quiet zone,
Don't think you need megaphone,
If you have anything worth tell
ing,
You can say it without yelling.
The noise some folks spread around,
You'd think God wired 'em up for
sound,
They prove there's nothing in the
attic,
By giving off lot of static.
Lies a real and earnest spot,
Not much of it's a movie lot,
And you can't make it any fuller,
All dressed up for technicolor.
You can't wear styles too delirious,
And ask the world to take you
serious,
No one you know of great renown,
Got that way through playing
clown.
The folks with least above the neck,
Are loathe to hold themselves in
check,
If you'd to great advantage show,
Don't outshine the spotlight's glow.

Hemisphere as a monument to
white supremacy.
Fear often was present among
them as it usually is among all
species of mankind but it never
dominated and enveloped whole
masses of people, permeated their
thinking, and controlled their very
actions as it does the Negro. Until
the Negro man in the South is
ready to meet the Noble Ryders
and Harper Dawsons on their own
terms, they will be begging for
mercy for a long, long time and
will still present to the world the
picture of strong, able-bodied hu-
man beings controlled almost Who'll
ly by fear.
A white newspaperman, after
reading what Sheriff Wiley Smith
predicted down in Mississippi-that
the four defendants would be re-
leased soon-said, "If they were
Negroes, they would be lynched the
day they were acquitted and they
wouldn't have to be guilty, but
bet you ten bucks that despite the
fact that every Negro man in Jeru-
salem, Mississippi, knows that Rev.
Simmons was killed because they
wanted his property, you couldn't
! find two Negroes in that town who
would be willing to make Harper
Dawson and the Ryder Brothers
pay with their lives"
Women Don't Respect Them
The Negro man often wonders
out loud why his woman would
rather deal with the white grocer,
the butcher, and other merchants.
Maybe she could not tell you but
subconsciously she knows why, or
thinks she knows. Deep down in
her she believes her men to be
cowardly if it means offering thei1
lives to protect their rights. Women
like to be strong, and it might be
said in this instance that they feel
they have more protection from
the white man. They have seen
their men waiting in their homes
for the white outlaws, mobs, and
hoodlums coming to kill them,
sweating from fear, eyes extended,
teeth chattering, their entire bodies
shaking as though from chills. In
many cases these were homes in
which guns-pistols and shot-guns
are as much a part of personal
property as the rake and the hoe,
and these same Negroes, shaking
in abject fear and terror at the
approach of white faces, are some
times superior marksmen. Yet
they hide behind closed doors wait
ing for certain death without doing
anything to ward it off or to take
one in turn for their own.
Courage Is Paramount
The woman would have some
thing to be proud of or to pass on
to her children or her friends chill
dren had her mate come forward
to protect her and himself by
shooting first even though it meant
certain death. Instead, she gets a
sense Of Illustration from the ex-
perience which reveals her help
mate as less a man than she had
expected when he told the preacher
he would love, honor, and protect
her.
Cases like this, in which an aged
minister was shot down in cold
blood because some white men
wanted to steal his 225 acres Of
farm and timber land, located in
Negro community, are all the more
evidence that our biggest job is to
conquer fear Of the white man
before we can gain any of the
advantages we seek. The white man
is not going to give a coward any
first class citizenship ratings with
him despite any decisions of his
own Supreme Court.
