! make bold 20 venture the opinion
that the white ruling minority Of
the world has decided that the
world majority Of eolored people
may exist in the white mans world
II the latter will agree TO accept
the role Of q servant for the white
man rs the end Of their destiny,
on n RlobRl a. we'll Rs n local and
national basis.
Wherever and as long as the col.
ored people will accept this role
a. thslr place and way Of life. Ger
tain Of them will be permitted 20
succeed" In such n way as will
assist their masters 10 maintain and
profit most from the master serv-
ant relationship.
n the eOIOred peoples Of the
world elect not To be the white
mans servant In q white mans
civilization. I am convinced that
the white rulers may move 10
lIquldate them.
believe II IL clear 20 thinking
people everywhere that without OPP
GRAFTON Of the law Of opposites
there can be no justice, growth and
goOd-procreRtion. Without opera
ton Of the law Of oppOsites on the
basis Of absolute equality, insofar
~ including Representatives Of all
the peoples Of the world in the sf-
forts 20 build the peace, there can
be no equilibrium.
Always one thing exists because
~ the existence or non-eKistence
Of another thing. For instancei Ig-
noTancs In the want Of knowledge;
error, the want Of guidance; for
getfulness, the want Of memory
stupidity, the want Of good sense.
In the same way, ssnSibls T0ali-
ties are absolutely good, and evil
IL due 10 their non-sxistence, that
IL TO say, blindness Is the want Of
sight; deafness, the want Of hear
ing; poverty, the want Of wealth:
illness, the want Of health; death
Ia the want Of life, and weakness,
the want Of strength.
The great danger In the world
today 10 predieAtsd upon the pos.
sibility Of the white mans failure
10 realize that the colorsd peoples
Of the world are not going to elect
TO exist as his servants and that
II would be better to build a way
u life based upon Indignation Of
the oppositss and upon absolute
justice insofar a. races and ma
tionalitieA are concerned.
II he elects TO liquidate the col
ored peoples as he comes to realize
that they are not going to submit
TO being his servants and tools rs
AN end In itself. he viii thereby
further degenerate and degrade
himself and contribute to his own
destruction just as tho poisonous
adder who, when prodded into bit
ing at whatever prOds him. finally
bites himself and dies Of HIS own
poison.
Il is indeed already later than
We think. There IL such . thing
as n man going so far In the wrong
direction that II becomes impos-
Sible for him to turn around unless
stricken by some superior power
from above.
Already, 1 have heard white
people express the feeling that
God may have to use the eolored
people Of the world 10 save the
world. In another section OF our
country l often hear black men
Of goodwill say they do not be-
hsVS the white man a. such pos
sesses the ability and character
necessary TO save the world.
There seems TO bS u growing
unanimity Of thinking that only
those who are not guilty Of exploit
ing people because Of their weak
ness, color or gulllbility are At to
bS trusted with the making and
administration Of an inclusive peace
program for all the people Of the
world.
II all the eolored peoples Of the
world adopted this sort Of thinking
Il Is quite possible that they would
begin TO think that II the white
minority refuses conscient iously %
adopt migration As y means Of
achieving equilibrium. there can b
no sense Of security In the world
until the dominating white minority
Is stripped Of its power To domi.
nate.
An aroused people who have long
suffered oppression can be q most
dangerous people. They often de-
strOy others and thea themselves
when they acquire the power TO
dominate.
For both the ruling white min.
GRITTY and the dominated eolorsd
majority Of the world today, their
salvation lies along . free and
equitable path Of Indignation In the
field of human relations. This
should be the goal Of the sub
merged and awakening world ma
jority Of eolored peoples. As both
groups move in that direction the
peoples Of tho world are moved
from the Ares of liquidation into the
green pastures % equilibrium.
Herr in the United States. the
colorrd people do not want TO walk
ahead Of the white people or BE-
hind them. They want 60 walk BY
