Strangely, most people with
violent preiudices are unable to
advance a logical reason for
their declaration. If you ask
them why they nurture a dis
like for a particular group, the
stock answer will be, Il just
don't like them, that's ALL" This
Is where propaganda feeds it
self and extends it's vicious ten
tacles.
Just what do we mean any
way when we label these groups
"minorities"? All of us are
Americans whether our fore
fathers came from Austria, Ire
land, Finland or Greece, or
Greece, or whether we were
foreign-bo and became nat
uralized citizens. Let's analyze
this a bit.
There are 1,2370OO natural
lied Germans as compared with
621,975 from England and 1881
900 from Denmark. Now would
we call the English a minority
group to the Germans, and the
Danes a minority so far as the
English are concerned? There
are more ProteStants than
Catholics in the United States,
but would we consider a Ger
man Catholic as a minority to
the Dane, who although out
numbered, belongs to a Protes-
tant church? In the last four
presidential elections, the Dem
ocratS outnumbered the Repub-
licans, but would we catalogue
the Republicans as a minority?
These are ridiculous COM
parsons, of course, but no more
so than when we single out a
race or a religious group of sew
eral millions and stamp them
with the detestable brand of
minority"

Racial discrimination wa S
born and nourished by the lack
of knowledge and true under

and the problems of other
peoples. If, for instance, we
knew other racial and religious
groups as vel as we do our
own, much of the discord in our
country and throughout the
rest of the world would be
eliminated. Each group acquires
ideas about other groups which,
more often than not are entire

frequently accept as truth,
without taking the trouble to

In the larger cities there are
usually several sections, or lit

of a preponderance Of one ma
tionality or another. One group
perhaps will dislike another for
some petty reason, and the Sec

use for the first, most likely for
the same cause, The idea takes
root and continues to grow until
it becomes a mean, ugly mon

History reveals that no one

PRAISE FOR
BAY STATE LADIES
BY Abe Attacks

Among the nations news items
last week was the rather ordn-
airy notation that representatives
of Massachusetts, had joined the
Clubs, guided by DR.. Mary Nc
Leod Bethune noted educator
and one who holds the conf
dence of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
HELPED BUILD AMERICA
Off hand, this news item may
seem a trivial thing to most of
us male readers who take the
club activities of women as a
matter of course. But probing
deeper, we who have seen our
mothers and grandmothers
busily devote their lives in Or
ganizing church and community
we who have seen or recorded
the history of the Queen of
Sheba, Wheatleys, Harriet Tub
mans, Charlotte Hawkins Browns
DR.. Bethunes, and all the illus
brious rest, begin to realize the
potent power of colored women
whose energies courage and deep
religious faiths have lifted an
entire race from an abyss of
deep degradation and dispair
back to freedom and untold
future greatness. Mrs. Emma
Clarissa Clement, American
Mother of 1916, was but a SYM
boil of this colored calvacade.
There are numerous others. It
is well always to remember that
no race can rise above the
health, well being and faith of
its women. Even in bondage,
these virtues were great in color
ed women; their energy was
prodigious, almost unbelievable
their spirit and faith could not
be beaten by a thousand lashes,
and their humble pride and
ability to laugh in defiance of
their masters is one of the great
true stories of all time. Their
husbands and sons helped to
create and build America, labor
ed, suffered and died for Amer

I believe the coIored women of
America and the world are ap-
preaching many vital questions
which call for unity. Other
groups have women's clubs
which can afford to meet with
lesser responsibilities and which
can devote more "Tea Times" to
social good times. This is not
true of the National Council
which is slated to be received at
Washington by Mrs Truman and
which no longer plans to be
known as strictly colored

and the Mexicans are hoping for
SOC, 900 for 1947.

They will walk through a semi

the other side of the ramp into

the hotel inclosure.
The Del Prado, the 10 other new
