(BY DAN GARDNER)

Of all the races in the great minority groups that
make up these United States, the Negro is the only
one that puts American first before his name in a
hyphenated relationship to the land Of his birth.
by that L mean we say American-Negro but the
German says German-American, the Jews say Jew
lsh-American, the Chinese says Characterization,
the Italian says the Greek says
G~recO-American, the Spaniard says Span1sh-Amer-
lean, and the Pole says Polish-American. In other
words, we seem to be the only race in America's
vast melting pot with a determined policy of dis
carding a racial designation in favor of the place
where we happen to be or the land Of our birth,
German-Americanso of many generations still regard
themselves as German-Americans, although born
IN the U.S.A. So do the others in this hyphenated
series. They think in the terms of the native faith
erland and when great national or international
crisis arise such as the one engendered by Adolph
Hitler, the reason for the emphasis on the father
land first in the hyphenation Of the name here in
America is plainly seen.
All these people have native lands or countries.
Their loyalties to the land Of their forefathers is
never allowed to die. In fact, it is kept alive by
the mere fact of the hyphenatiOn of the name when
they come to America. The American-Negr by
perslSt1ng IN being called that does himself no tang
Idle good IN gaining respect from America and the
rest Of the world. Of all the minorities in the coun-
try, the largest, the Negro, gets the least respect as
a people. Although he alone insists that he is first
OF all an American and second a Negro.
On the other hand, the German wants to be Ger
man first and then American. The Italian does the
same:-The Green, the Pole, the Hungarian,
the Czech, the Irish and on down the line. They
play the game that way and gain status to the point
where some of these foreign-born stock become
senators, congressman, ambassadors, heads Of great
corporations, and so forth. The best the Negro
can hope for if he is in the South, is not to be event
ually lynched or chased away from his home, and in
the North to eat in an exclusive restaurant, sleep in
a nationally known hotel, and to send his children
to an accredited school Of his choice without dis
elimination.
This situation came to mind following the pub
hshed story in the Amsterdam News several weeks
ago of how the American Negro stands in the eyes
of the Indian people. The question was asked by a
wealthy Indian eff Ethiopia were a world power,
had a powerful army, iavy, and air force, and be-
came engaged in a major conflict with the. United
States, what would the American Negro do?'
The question has but one ~answer-because the A
merican Negro would find himself in the front lines
with rifles and guns and other implements Of war
