To get around being called anti
Semitic and, at the same time,
bring into the open the ramifca-
tons of the question, one has to be
somewhat careful in the use of
words as well as a bit reckless in
walking where angels fear to tread.
Right now the Negro is being
pressed on all sides by other min
ority groups which wish to make
common cause with him in these
difficult times when cooperation
among minority groups for unity
and strength are necessary to ad-
vance the aspirations and aims of
such groups.
l think American minorities,
such as Jews, Italians, Irish, and
Germans, really have the secret
envy of the Negro because of his
possession of the one thing that
all of them lack. The Negro is a
native American-not foreign-born
as are many of the others. The
American Negro, being native to
the soil, were he white, could CAPT
.alize to the fullest extent on this
link to the soil but, being black, he
has to live as a ward, more or less
tolerated through the good graces
of the white man, and the white
man is in power. Had most Jews
the prize possession of the Ameri-
can Negro, native heritage, he
would probably be the strongest
force in American life today But,
since he does not have it, there is
reason for his seeking unity and
common cause with the American
Negro.
The charges that Jews exploit
Negroes wherever they meet them
has been made ever since l can
remember and probably will con-
tinue to be made after l am dead
and gone. The exploitation charge
was based on economic dealings;
it stems from certain practices that
obtain in the poorer neighborhoods
where the small storekeeper grocer,
butcher, haberdasher, jeweler, etc.,
pitches his camp. The so-called
sharp" driving practices of the
Jew in this connection have been so
exaggerated and played upon that
it is small wonder that there does
not exist actual hatred of him by
Negroes. The facts of the matter
are, however, Negroes don't hate
anybody. You hear professional
leaders holler from the hilltops
that they hate this and hate that,
but, in the main, the great ma
jority of Negroes don't have the
time or the inclination to develop
healthy hates for opposite races
and most certainly, not the Jew.
However, as Negroes slowly be-
come more articulate, they attempt
to fight back against the alleged
SHARP" trading practices of the
Jew by name calling and, in some
instances, whispering campaigns.
Again, all this can be regarded as
harmless as there are few instances
where Negroes put on hoods, ride
white horses, and burn fiery crosses
in the front yards of people.
The Negro lowest down feels a
sort of kinship with the Jews that
is as natural and homely as that
which might exist between cousins.
To the Jewish grocer or druggist

Gardner on the
Question of Anti-Semitism
Among Negroes
By Dan Gardner

AntSemitiSm is delicate subject. In fact, the term
become almost explosive and uncomfortable Fear of be-
ing identified Jew-bater" antSemite has all but
banned frank discussion of the matter and would look for
days before he found professional Negro leader willing
publicly to air his views the subject.
