Omaha's Synthetic
Southerners

Up here in the North, peo-
pie are inclined to wonder
what sort Of people Southern
ers must be, to be defending so
violently their freedom to
lynch Negroes.
Before any Omahan takes
too much of holier than thou
attitude toward the South, he
might look around and see
what sort of bigots and synthe'
tic Southerners there are in
Omaha.
A grade school basket ball
game scheduled for Florence
Community Center was can
ceied the other day because
some self-appointed guardians
of white supremacy" in the

fact that there were Negro
boys on one OF the Teams.

loud praise Of democracy
throughout the world, is be-
ginnig to look ridiculous be-
cause of the civil rights battle
in the South. 1t is looking rid
iculous, too, because OF such
