Arizona sun., 1956-12-06

How many people realize what
a hazard it is to be a Negro in
America, not only behind the
segregation curtain" but even
in a western city like our own
Phoenix? What kind of hazard?
Well, let's see.
A nineteen year old neighbor
of mine, whom I have known
as an honest and trustworthy
boy for much of his young life,
was coming home from his work
not long ago at about 800 AM.
He was employed at one Of the
downtown hotels on a night
shift.
In segregated schools, we used
to discuss such situations in the
classroom. Advice to boys who
had to be on the streets late
and in similar situations was
to stay always when possible
on the well-lighted streets; to
take no chances of being charg-
ed with something they hadn't
done. That was what we called
professionally survival tech
niques" Don't misunderstood.
There are no regrets that
schools are desegregated. De-
segregated schools should event.
ually be the most effective
survival technique" of all. Such
advice should be good advice in
any school attended by young
people from working homes.
My nineteen year old neighbor
was picked up by police officers
who claimed they were called
at that hour, by two women up
stairs in a two-story house
across the street, who said they
saw man peeping in the win
dows of a row of one story shot
gun" apartments. My neighbor
told the officers why he was on
the street at that hour; the two
women who made the call were
not asked to identify him; he
was a Negro in a white neigh
borhood, and he was carried to
jail.
An all-night bondsman was
ready to "go his bond" of $500
for $40 fee and my frightened
young neighbor sent the bonds
man to his mother who with $40
of the boys savings paid him
OUT. 1t was costly but the only
way to save the job that the
boy had finally acquired after

FACING THE FACTS
BY w. A. Robinson

days of walking the streets in
search of work to support him
and his mother.
The young man tells me, and
I believe him for the fact that.
I have never known him to lie,.
that the jailer said to him: "If
you were in Georgia, they
wouldn't arrest you. They would
just shoot you." This the same
jailer that another Negro boy
fought a few days later. Our
taxes pay his wages to make
such insulting statements to-
Negro prisoners.
From every side my neighbor
was urged NOT TO PLEAD
GUILTY unless he was guilty.
1t is very common practice for
our boys when arrested on sus--
picion, to be told that when they
have no support but their own
word, pleading guilty on a
chance of getting probation, is
the best way out of a tight
place. They find later to their
sorrow, that the record faces.
them at every turn in later life.
My own advice to the young
man, after going with another
of his adult friends to see the,
judge, was that evidently the
judge was of the opinion that
he was guilty and he had better
get a good lawyer who could
see that all favorable evidence
was brought to the courts at
tention. This he did, inspite of
the additional expense that he
and his mother could i'll afford.
The case was finally thrown out
in the judges chambers, in view
of strong evidence in the boys
favor.
The boy has thirteen year
old cousin who not long before
this was sent to the store in
her neighborhood. AS she left
the store an elderly white man
drove his car to the curb, open
ed the door and called her to
him. When she started away he
drove along the street increaS-
ing his speed as she ran home.
A call to the police brought an
officer who found the man still
in the neighborhood and stop
ped him. When the man said he
was looking for a woman to
work and called the little girl
to ask about her, the officer
sent him packing and told him
to stay out of that neighbor-
hood. The officer told the fright
ened child and her mother not
to worry; that man wouldn't be
back again.
Was the difference in the two
cases different officers, or diff
ferent races of the suspects? We
will never know. We do know
that for one it was arrest, bond,
insult by the jailer, cost of a
lawyer, and possible loss of en-
ployment. Justice isn't color
blind evidently. We aren't claim
ing either, that we do not have
our share of criminals. And as
our poverty, lack of employ
ment, poor housing, etc., are
disproportionate, so are our
criminals. But why should our
color make the miscarriage of
justice a hazard?

PROPERTY RIGHTS VS..
DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS

perience with the Supreme Court
ruling against segregation in
public schools, and prepare for
the fight ahead.
The rulers of the Deep South
states have succeeded in pre-
venting desegregation of schools
in the areas where the ruling
would affect the most children,
and they have announced their
intention of doing the same
thing with the latest ruling
"outlawing" Jim Crow buses.
Why is it possible for the
Southern ruling class to get
away with it? The answer lies
in the contradictions in CAPT.
talist democracy itself.
Liberal defenders of American
democracy try to tell us-and
the world that we have a sys-
tenn of government "of the peo-
pie, by the people, and for the
people" That we elect our re-
presentatives to legiSlate, ad-
minister and enforce the laws
with liberty and justice for
ALL"
PROPERTY RIGHTS SUPREME
But we, and the rest of the
world, know that the realty is
quite different from this one
side picture of capitalist demo-
cracy.
The other side, the decisive
factor, is that our economy and
all our social institutions based
on it, are capitalist, that is, our
economy operates on the basis
of production for private profit,
or not at all.
Whenever there is conflict
of interest between democratic
rights and property rights, the
government, a capitalist insti-
tuition, defends property.
Montgomery, Ala. and Talla-
iassee, Fla. are good examples.
IN both cases Negroes are SIM
ply demanding their democratic
right to equality of treatment
on the city buses. When they
pay their fare, they want the
right to pick one of the avail
able seats, the same as anyone
else.
Denied that democratic right,
they chose not to pay their fare,
and to organize a substitute
means of transportation. But
when they did that they came
in conflict with a higher right"
under capitalism, the right of
the bus companies to own pro-
perty and make a profit from
it.
That is why, on Oct. 20, a
Tallahassee city judge fines 81
Negroes $500 each and gave
them suspended sixty-day jail
sentences for operating car pool
to boycott city buses. They were
convicted of running an illegal
public transportation system
without a city permit or a state
'for hire" license.
The defense pointed out that
no evidence had been presented
to show that the riders in the
car pool paid the drivers, or that
the pool was in actuality busi-
ness activity.
But that was precisely the
"crine" of the Negroes of Tai
lahassee: they hurt the profit
system by organizing and oper-
ating transportation on a non
