CONCERNING RACIAL NTER-MARRIACE

Through many generations in through many
centuries Of world hsorythe above caption Racial Inter-
marriage has been of moot question: the discussion
Of which has usually avoided by conservative and tmd
defamation Of character and the likely monger
grade politicians, ETC.
In America the question has been avoided by Negro
Americans for fear that be DESIGNATED by the white
supremac of the goals Of the Negro American in his
equality all rights of citizenship Thsof
lis wise the Likewise the question has been
of the predominant Caucasian Except
ing the previously mentioned political balyhoo artists in the
Bibo and Tamadge clas) unthnkabe unmentionabe
simply because they have had the old idea Of racial
superiority scho0ed them through generations The
congena don't talk about it because they do not wish to insult
ticn-with the admitted exceptions had the least
ing Of any of the old bones Of contention in spite of the
known fact that nteracia marriage still goes onwth some
noted increase in this era.
Mrs J. wates waring wife of a known South Caro-
lima Judge dared in recent weeks to give her direct and
concise opinions the matter in radio press interview
in which very little left regarding her beliefs and
beliefs Of many like her In another recent instance Mrs
Warng has scored certain Chapter Of the NAACP for the
alleged snubbng of the present Mrs Walter White who
incidentally-is Caucasian.
Now we Of this department of the Northwest Enterprise
have somewhat liberal opinions the question OF
nermarrag which may be applicable or at any
of color more than others While remembering kings
lords other classes of long ageshave
frowned on marriages socaed lower classes and
have made issued edicts and the like against SUCH
and remembering these laws and edc have been
just frequently smashed and laughed at by the truly love
opinion that MARRIAGE Is PRIVATE AFFAIR and should
be reckoned entirely outside of State control.
We do not deny course, that families should be
cerned and should the right advise exert nuence
but in final analysis it is the prncipals and their OFF
spring who are directly concerned who should have
prior rights them? If to advise would counsel
EoUAL - DULY CONSIDERED and PROPERLY PLANNED
MARRIAGE for all = regardless Of race
But are remembering other indisputabe facts
here in States Of the fifteen million scaed (and
some caed) Negro American all native citizens are OF
mixed blood by nterracial marriage and many rom
their early orgn) not We have intention OF going back
into the history of this mixed blood and its origin 1t Is too
well known might be pleasing to view its existing
status progeny which includes statesmen soldiers Of
high rank educators scientists technologian business execu
tives and many others and in all manner OF
high places along with overall group with the blood Of two
or more proud its veins all of whom NO WORSE
or NO BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE AMERICAN - de-
pending environment and opportunity
We might even heorze that people of mixed blood are
probably more with somewhat wider understand
ing sides Of problems may be that they
encompass the keennes the and the human com
promise sides Of their ancestors Maybe some day they
will the PEACE MAKERS. Who knows?
Our only regrets today that Of these honorable
citizens of blood outstanding character cannot
claim of their grandparents and
THE HONOR OF NTERRACIAL MARRIAGE!
We want to insist that MARRIAGE is honorable and
PRIVATE AFFAIR interracial or not!
