This would be good advice to any com
munity OF Negroes that was capable OF d..
ing its own thinking. Its first thought would
be to turn away from segregation For seq
regation is a force that keeps people from
becoming united and understanding each
other
This is undoubtedly the finest educa-
ton building in the state today. 1t was Votea
by the electors of the Little Rock School
District rs percent of whom do not belong
to the race which will use this building 1t
will be paid from taxes from the entire dis
trict and yet the Negroes pay less than III
percent of the taxes. -. This was spoken
by the superintendent Of schools.
It is not within our power to say wheth-
er the superintendent forgot about the
building several blocks west from where he
was speaking that was built for whites or
whether he assumed that the Negroes were
overshadowed with fantastic reveries that
they would forget. Some instances, nsycholo-
ey works that way The Negroes pay less
than ten percent of the taxes when VIII
pay for the building points out the speaker.
The white man has unique way OF calculat-
ing expenses when it comes to Negroes, so
what he says might be true, ard again II
might not But his statement is accepted
by making a comparison of what Arkansas
paws into the federal treasury, and what
Arkansas receives from the federal treas
ury No one hears the eastern industrial CEN
tiers Boosting how they take care of a pau
pered south.
The superintendent continues: "f any
one tells you that Little Rock is discriminat-
ing against Negro youth, bring him to see
this building - When we see intelligent
Negroes lauding people who ram such rea-
soning down their Threats, this is when we
hate ourselves
Arkansas State press. [volume] (Little Rock, Ark.) 1941-1959, 1951-09-28
When We Hate Ourselves

There are certain times when we are
subjected to hate. These are the times when
we can appreciate nothing white man says,
when he is speaking from jimcro platform,
and then our hate is confined to ourselves,
for wasting our time listening.
II is our sincere belief that the Negro
citizenry of Little Rock would be much
closer toward the goal of first class citi-
zenship if it would do its own thinking, IN
stead of letting the white man think for H.
This is in no way an insinuation that
the white man is entirely dumb. However,
his dumbness is displayed to certain eX-
tent when he thinks that all Negroes are
damn fools But that part becomes natural
when the whites and Negroes are kept apart.
The white man judges the Negro by those he
has to come in contact with, and neither of
them represents the true Negro. The Negro
who serves him is naturally acquiescence in
any and all of the boss's ideologies, and on
the other hand, the learned Negro whose head
is always bowed with the hyena grin does that
for his own personal benefit, thus leaving
the white man under the impression that
his knowledge of the Negro is superb.
Neither of these mentioned groups is
of much benefit TO the Negroes program of
Indignation in the American way of doing
things.
We have on our desk two speeches de-
livered Sunday. These speeches were deliver
ed by school board officials. One speech is
a presentation of a jimcrow gymnasium to
the Negro people. The other speech is dedi-
eating the gymnasium.
Let me urge you to turn aside from
any would-be leader who seeks to divide ds
and to exault every force that tends to unite
us and promote good will and understand
ing" Thus spoke the president of the Little
Rock school board.

We are winning the battle against seerega-
ton and we'll keep on fighting. But can't
see the proposed game as a drawback Are
we ashamed of being Negroes?
The proposal causes me much more
thought than the simple question of segre-
cation. We can recall post-season games be-
tween major leaguers and teams made up Of
players from the Negro leagues. These were
attractions which produced little extra
cash for the players and the promoters. To
say the least. the Parker-Winchel idea is
novel and should pack Yankee stadium.
The segregation angle doesn't worry me
so much, but frankly, / am sorry il has not
been possible to scare up game of this
sort or some other major promotion for the
support of an organization like the NAACP
in its fight against discrimination and seq
regation, or for the Urban league in its fight
for better Jobs for Negroes.
Like Mr.. Smith, am all for the Cancer
fund, and have applauded the contributions
made by Ray Robinson and others toward
that work. | applauded the contributions
Joe Louis made to the Army and Navy Re-
lief societies. AZ the same time | see many
organizations which contributed so much to
Fastening the day Of Jackie Robinson. Joe
Louis and Ray Robinson still struggling
without adequate funds to carry on the
struggle. The records don't show where any
of the successful individuals have given
much of their talents to help any of the
groups that helped them reach the top.
Whether one feels the NAACp or the
Urban league is worthwhile or not. or
whether he feels the YMCA or the United
Negro college fund ought to be supported
or not. these institutions ARE serving
useful purpose While II must be admitted
that many whites contribute heavily To the
support Of all these organizations. IL would
be mighty refreshing to witness some tanri-
bic expression Of gratitude from the people
these organizations have served
Although Negroes and Negro oreaniza-
tons fought for years to break down the i'm

It has been reported that Walter VIM
chell doesn't like Westbrook Pegler and
that the feeling is mutual with Peg, but
that they would never engage in fuses via
their respective columns. The answer to
that. the report further says is that Will
liam Randolph Hearst. the chief, frowned
upon members of the Hearst family taking
issue with one another.
One wonders whether the lid will be
off now that the Chief is dead. What brings
this to mind, although il might not be con-
crete, is column written last week by
columnist Wendell Smith, Hearst writer
who doubles as columnist for weekly
Newspaper, or vice versa
Mr.. Smith mildly jumped on Dan Park
er and Walter Winchell, Hearst men who
have in the works an exhibition baseball
game between Negro and white stars of the
major leagues for the benefit of the Damon
Runyan Cancer fund.
Mr.. Smith objects. He sees the project
as a throwback to the pre-Jackie Robinson
days In the majors and believes the past
ought to be allowed to lie buried He brands
the idea as one of segregation and he doesn't
like II.
Mr.. Smith / believe, is little too sensl-
tive. He seems TO be carving his position
rather thin when he stresses the
point that the game would be un.
equal because there would be only II Ne.
groes In the majors from which TO choose.
while the white stars could be drawn from
3s0-odd players
In the first place, | wouldn't regard
the game as an actual test of skill-no suncr

Radio Hong Kong
Drops Voice Talks
BY the Associated Press

HONG KONG, Jan. 25.-The
crown colony's government this
week discontinued 15-minute
Voice of America news broadcast
IN Cantonese dialect and substi-
tuted a British Broadcasting Co.
newscast in Mandarin dialect.
Mandarin, sometimes called
Kuoyu dialect, is the Northern
China dialect favored by the Chi
nese Communists. They are try
ing to make it a universal dialect
for China. although few south
ern Chinese can speak it.
The government press Office
said the BIC had gone to great
expense to develop its own Chinese
newscast and that the changeover
was routine.
The pro-Communist Chinese
press in Hong Kong praised Radio
Hong Kong for eliminating the
Voice of America because sit con-
tanned all blasts of United States
imperialists."
The Voice Of Americas main
broadcasts are beamed to Red
China from Manila, but In some
South China areas it is easier to
receive Radio Hong Kong.
