From Behind
The Curtain
By A White southerner

Segregation is Americas iron curtain.
Its greatest evil has been that il pre-
vents us from understanding each other
and from being conscious of the others
growth. On both sides of the curtain we
are about fifty years behind in our in
terpretations of the other. Write in ques-
tons concerning racial attitudes of the
educated white Southerner Of today.
Names will be withheld.

Dear White Southerner: Sin white
people are SO intelligent, how can they
fail to see that keeping the Negro in his
pace will hurt them as much in the long
run as it does us?
Brother-under- tl.~.-'s1Nlli
ANSWER: Watch "a, brother! Ion
fall for tho white mans propaganda that
he's so intelligent" Most white people
are stupid as all heck just as most Negroes
are. AS race we specialize in faulty rea-
soning--and l mean the human race.
This keep him in his place" attitude is
d survival of mental habit pattern hand
ed down from two generations ago. AT
that time the caste system was accepted
the world over irrespective of race 1t still
exists full strength in England and il,
many other nations, where several classes
are recognized and members of each are
expected to "know their place."
When was a child, FFV's were still
regarded BY many in Virginia as the only
people not expected to look up. l recall
having heard the accusation "He doesn't
know his place. directed toward store
owners, undertalsers and dentists as vel
as Negroes. Americans have made trernen
s'ous strides in democracy in 40 years.
One still hears this statement applied
to Negroes, it's tr lie, but chiefly from
members of the older generation--inevi
tably from those of my mothers genera

rarely from the younger generation. Sucl
change has taken place in the South IL
two generations that my mother and hel
friends can hardly converse on many top
