being free. And we will have to
choose completely and for good.
The time is already past when
we can choose a little of each, a
little Of both.
We can choose a state of slave
dom, and if we are powerful
enough TO be among the top two
or three or 10. we can have a
certain amount of Hcense-until
someone more powerful rises and
has US machine-gunned against
cellar wall. But we cannot choose
freedom established on HER
archy of degree Of freedom, on
caste system of equality like mill
tary rank.
We must be free not because we
claim freedom, but because we
practice IT. Our freedom must be
buttressed by homogeny equally
and unchallengeably free, no mat
ter what color they are, SO that
all the other inimical forces every
where-systems political or rei-
gious or racial or national, will not
Just respect us because we prac-
tice freedom. They viii fear US be-

Of colonial expansion and exploit
tation based and morally condoned
on the promise of inequality not
because of individual incompe-
tence, but Of mass race or color.
AS a result of which, in only
10 years we have watched the
non-white peoples expel, by bloody
violence when necessary, the white
man from all of the Middle East
and Asia which he once dominated.
And into the vacuum has already
begun to move that other and in
imical power which people who be-
lieve in freedom are at war with
that power which says to the non
white man: I'VE don't offer you
freedom because there is no such
thing as freedom; your white
overlords whom you just threw
out have already proved that to
you. But we offer you equality; at
least equality in slavedom; If you
are TO be slaves, at least you can
be slaves to your own color and
race and religion"
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1955-11-18
Best Chance Is Here

We, the Western white man who
does believe that there exists an
individual freedom above and be-
yond this mere equality of slave
dom. must teach the non-white
people this while there is yet a
little time left. We, America, who
are the strongest force opposing
communism and monolithicism,
must teach all other people, white
and non-white, slave or (for a
little while yeti still free.
We, America. have the best
chance to do this because we can
do it here, at home, without need
ing to send costly freedom ex-
petitions into alien and inimical
places already convinced that
there Is no such thing as freedom
and liberty and equality and peace
for all people, or we would prac-
tice 1t at home.
The best chance and the easiest
job, because our non-white minor
ity is already on our side; we
don't need to sell them on America
and freedom because they are al
ready sold; even when ignorant
from inferior or no education, even
despite the record and history Of
inequality, they still believe in our
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1955-11-18

concepts Of freedom and demo-
cracy.
That is what America has done
for them in only 300 years. Not to
them: for them, because to our
shame. we have made little effort
so far to teach them 10 be Amerl-
cans, let alone 10 use their capa-
cities to make ourselves a strong
er and unified America the peo-
pie who, only 800 years ago. were
eating rotten elephant and hippo
meat in Africa rain-forests, who
lived beside one Of the biggest
bodies of inland water on earth
and never thought of a sail, who
yearly had to move by whole vii
lagos and tribes from famine and
pestilence and human enemies
without once thinking Of a wheel,
yet in only 300 years America
produced Ralph Bunche and
George Washington Carver and
Booker T. Washington, who have
yet to produce a Fuchs or Rosen-
berg. or Gold or Greenglass or
Burgess or Meredith or Hiss, and
for every prominent communist or
fellow-traveler like Robson or
Richard Wright, there are a
thousand white ones.

Equality Is Desire

/ am not convinced that the
Negro wants indignation in the
sense that some of us claim to
fear he does. 1 believe he is Ameri-

our opinion would be harmless if
we did il, and which we probably
would not want to do anyway.

equality, and / believe that he too
knows there is no such thing as
equality per Sc, but only equality

to make the best one can of ones
life within ones capacity and cap
ability. without fear of injustice or
oppression or threat of violence.
II we had given him this equal
right to opportunity 90 or so or
even 10 years ago. there would
have been no Supreme Court de-
cision about how we run our
schools.
II is our white mans shame
that in our present Southern
economy, the Negro must not have
economic equality; our double
shame that we fear that giving
him more social equality will jeo-
pardize his present economic stat

then, to justify ourselves, we must

Not theological Fight

we think OF the world situation
today as a precarious and explo-
sive balance OF two irreconciliable
ideologies confronting each other;
which precarious balance, once it
totters, win drag the whole world
into the abyss along with il.
That's not so. Only one Of the
forces is an theology, an idea. Be
cause the second force is the
simple fact OF man, the simple
belief of individual man that he
can and should and will be free.
And IL we who so far are still
free, want TO continue TO be free,
all Of us who are still free had
better confederate, and confed-
crate fast, with all others who
still have a choice to be free
confederate not as black people
nor white people nor pink nor
blue nor green people, but as
people who still are free with all
other people who still are free;
confederate together and stick to-
gether, too, II we want a world or
even a part of a world in which in
divdual man can be free, to con-
tinue TO endure.
And we had better take in with
us as many as we can get of the
non-white peoples of the earth
who are not completely free yet
but who want to be and intend to
be. before that other force which
Is opposed to individual freedom.
