should have a menial status have
also accentuated the problem.
Discrimination and segregation
have sapped the very roots of our
nation. The tree grows, but it fails
to produce the best fruit because
of this diseased condition. Charles
Dickens described his age as "the
best of times and the worst Of
times" This description is certain
ly true of America today and her
attitude toward minority groups.
Our age is a paradox. America,
judged by the standards of living
in other countries, is the greatest
nation in the world; yet this ato-
mic age has brought more fear
and insecurity. Our age is grand
because our knowledge is so great;
our age is fearsome because our
ignorance is so vast. Thus, the
Negro faces a double paradox. On
one hand we are told that ignor-
ance of the laws, of our city, state
and country is no excuse; on the
other hand, there are those, who
for their own selfish gain, will
fully and maliciously transgress
the fundamental laws upon which
this country was founded $. the
American Constitution and the
Bill of Rights.
We are not in America on our
own accord. We were herded into
the ship which landed in James
town, Virginia in 1919 for the con-
venience of the other fellow. We
have no apologies to make for be-
ing here, nor do we seek sympa-
thy. The time has passed for us
to be humbly standing at the
white mans back door in grateful
appreciation for the crumbs which
he has so graciously given us
when we should be inside enjoy
ing the ample bread.

cannot allow ourselves to become
cynical, pessimistic, and compla-
cent. We cannot allow our hearts
and thoughts to become twisted
and warped because of the condi-
ton. A wholesome mental attitude
plus dilligent work for the correc-
ton of the evils seem to be the
key to the mastery of the situa-
ton. Freedom begins from within
the individual and is radiated with
out. It is this fact which should
give us an unshakable faith in
the democratic ideal, and we
should grid ourselves to work to-
ward the realization of true
democracy. 1 believe Claude Nc
Kay has adequately expressed the
feeling of Negroes when he wrote:
although she feeds me bread of
bitterness
And sinks into my cheek, her
tigers tooth
Stealing my breath of life, I must
confess
I love this cultured hell which
tests my youth"

A NEGRO LOOKS AT AMERICA
By Robert T. Frazier
IT hear America singing, the
varied carols I heard"
Walt Whitman was right. Amer
lea does sing, and her voice re-
sounds from east to west from
north to south and over oceans.
But, there is one chord which needs
Improvement. This chord pertains
to one tenth of the people of the
United States who form an integ-
raj part of American life.
The Negro in the United States
has developed more hapidly than
his opportunity for participation
in American life. He has been con-
ditioned through exposure to edu-
cation and propaganda to seek
the goals of Americans. He is de-
MED these goals and accused of
being impatient and unduly mill
tant when he exerts pressure to
achieve them. In demanding full
citizenship, the Negro is being a
typical American. Winning his
quest for more of the rights of
American citizenship, he encoun-
terS many limitations.
Let us analyze the crux of the
situation. The minority group pre-
sents a problem to the majority
group because the majority group
must decide whether it will change
the status quo. The majority group
presents a problem to the minority
group because the minority group
questions. the hesitancy in granting
them their full citizenship rights.
Prior to the outbreak of World
War II race relations in the south
had been gradually improving, but
race relations in the north had
begun to deteriorate. The deter
ioration in the north, as Arna
Bontemps has so vividly pointed
out in his book, "They Seek A
City," was due to an increase in
the Negro population. Both urban
and rural Negroes and whites of
lower cultural status migrated to
enjoy the privileges of the north.
Whites sought to establish south
ern customs. These factors have
tended to nationalize the prob
lem. The desire for revenge and
exploitation of cheap labor, greed,
and an apparent conviction that
God has decreed that the Negroes
