won't quote him because his Ian
guage was a bit unprintable.
However, he did point out in
unequivocal language that Ital-
ians were nothing but thieves,
racketeers, and cut-throats". He
also had something to say about
Italian women as such. They were
a bunch of buns and loose wo-
men-at least in his book.
I took it. I guess I did it be-
cause 1 was a little bit speech
less.
My first impulse was to belt
him flush in the kisser. I'm not a
good street fighter. But I think
that this time I would have done
a pretty good job because Of sheer
emotion.
You see, my wife happens to be
Italian. Understand, she didn't
pick her parents, but she is Ital-
ian.
My wife's mother was born in
Italy, Her father was, too.
My wife and I have three Won
derful sons. This mans TRADE ap-
piled to them too, because they're
half italian.
I happen to love my wife. BY
sheer coincidence, I also love my
boys.
And here comes a guy who
says that my wife is a bum and a
loose woman and that my sons
will grow up to be thieves,
racketeers and cutthroats." This
will happen, he says, because
they are italian.
There should be a moral to this
story. I suppose there is But I'm
having a terrible time trying to
find the handle to it.
Certainly, I don't want to be
as blinded by sheer hate as this
man was. But it's not easy.
I don't know his nationality. ]
don't even care. And I don't hate
him. He has my utmost pity.
I would like to thank him.
I have never in my life been
hurt by prejudice-until now.
Now I know how a Jew feels, how
a Negro feels a little.
I don't like it.

any way whatsoever, harmed me
because of my race, creed, color
or national origin, Never before,
so help me.
AS the regular readers of this
paper must know, I'm a pretty
noisy guy when it comes to pre-
JUDGE or discrimination, And that
calls for some definition. Preju-
dice is only a warped conviction in
a mans heart. Discrimination is
an overt act-an attempt to
harm a man-economically or
otherwise, because of his race,
creed, color or national origin.
However, both to me are equally
reprehensible.
can't stand a Jew hater any
more than I can a Negro-hater,
or a Catholic-hater, or a Protest
ant-hater, etc.
I've fought conscientiously on
all sides of this myriad-sided
fence. I think my record with The
Citizen will prove that because it
has made me a lot of enemies who
are completely bigoted on all sides
Of minority issues. Not out-spoken
enemies, mind you, but guys who
just brush you off because they
agree with bigots generally.
And then 1t happened to me.
Remember, I had never been hurt
in one way or the other by preju-
dice or discrimination. I had
fought the fight as I saw it
against all Of the professional
haters, and I didn't feel very
heroic because my Bible tells me
there is no heroism in being right.
I thought I had taken a very
objective view of the whole prob
lem. I thought I had realized that
it meant a fight, purely and
simply, against bigots.
Then, it happened.
A man was in my office some
months ago. He launched an anti
Jewish TRADE. We argued. I lost.
A few weeks later, he stopped
in again. This time, he took off on
the Negroes. We argued. I lost,
again. And by losing I mean that
I didn't get him to change his
position one iota.
He was in again recently. This
time, he had a new tune to play.
