ECONOMIC PRESSURE"

oriars can grow powerfully fast
in a southern climate.
ECONOMIC PRESSURE"
Did you read in the papersl
about Councils in other countiesI
Exercising Economic Pres-l
'ure?" Do you know what that
means? 1 didn't either till / hao
t explained 10 me. In our kind
If talk it means getting fired
from job or having your credit
cut off. Be fair. If you were
paying wages to a fellow and
found he was embarrassing
you, what would you do? You
would fire him so quick il
would make his head swim. He
would be lucky if he didn't get
a kick in the pants for good
measure. AS for giving him
credit, Who'll You'll
II you thing the NAACP will
set those lost jobs back get
somebody to explain the mean
ing of the news from Washing
ton in the papers with big
print in the top line saying,
Justice Department Lacking
Interest In Economic Pressure"
Listen my Colored Brethren
and Sisters: Come out into the
open and tell the world it's
equal schools you want, Not
mixed. If you are too bashful,
get somebody else to speak for
you. Get on the winning side
while you can. Forget the NAA
CP and the Supreme Court be-
fore they forget you. How long
do you thing they are going to
stay in lather trying to force
mixed schools on South Carolina
with all the Whites reared back
on their hind legs saying, I'VE
won't have them!" and three
fourths of the Negroes slipping
around to whisper, I'VE don't
want them" Take an open
stand with your white and col
ored friends so things can settle
) down.
j FOR EQUAL SCHOOLS
J. Let's all work together again
on the program to build equal
schools so your children can get
ia good education before they get
! grayheaded. Beg your Christian
leaders to furnish you with good
leadership. What this country
needs is more Christian leaders
on both sides who will teach
their people TO pray more and
work toward friendship and
peace and prosperity instead o.
, mixing breeds against God's
, plan.
My Friend let all the nit-wi;
talking about mixing races 60
in one ear and out the other. II
was God Almighty'S plan 10
. have n white Race and a Negro
! Race and when Gabriel blows mis-
last trump. the two races vii.
still be on earth 10 answer. Ii
sprlnklirg of miXcd-brccds will
only show that both races were
human and sinful and standing
in the need OF prayer.
! JOINERS. NOT STICKERS
If | were a betting man
would bet you that You'll sec
the day before too long that
Northern Big Shots in the
lNAACP will get so sick of South
Carolina Negroes, just The men
ton of one will make Their
Stocachs turn upside down.
Here's why. When they came
down here, we Negroes thought
they were paving the earth,
fairly kicking up gravel. They
must have worked hard enCagh
TO frazZlc an OK organIzarg
lNAACP chapters and sweet
talking suckers. They drew vi
petitions and got Negroes from
far and near TO sign them. The
must have felt sure they had tho
South by the tail for a down
hill drag. From the looks N
news in the papers they must
have felt mighty steady in theii
saddles for they sure startSi
irving their horses at a fast
gallop. Then somehow, their
horses began TO stumble. First
one and then another. What had
happened? Why were so many
Negroes suddenly yelling Their
heads off to take their names off
those petitions? What had hap
pcned. you ask? Nothing new
Our Negroes were just UP e
their old tricks. wonder if the
Northern Big Shots understand
ii yet. wonder if anybody Cvcr
told them that southern Negroes
are the best jOincrS on earth
but the poorest stickCrs whCl il
comes to following strange NJ
grocs. As for Whites who stcD
down on an equal footing with
colorcd folks, we might pretend
TO respect them but when VIC got
off to ourselves we call .hCm
Dressed Up White Trash or say
their grandpa must have had
some tar.in his blood.
AFTER THE NOVELTY
OF course southern Negroes
will follow any big talkcr lit
tie while if there's some excite
