Law Undeniably Supreme
2I46 ST. ANTOINE
By JULIAN c. WYCHE

This space has been observing the Southerner's
battle to uphold white supremacy including the at
tude of many of the socaled Northern newspapers IN
reporting it, Both evidently have guilty conscience.
Senator Eastland of Mississippi tented ignorance
over meaning of white-supremacy recently on Meet
the Press TN series, implying that there was no sucn
thing.
If there isn't then why the Juror over desegre-
gated schools certainly there must be unscienthc
immoral and unconstitutional belief that the Negro is
an inferior human-beng
Supporting this belief is the hastily proposed state
legislation bills aimed chiefly at retardng the Negro
including one which would seek Federal funds to send
the unwaned to states that have racial restrictions
The latter is ludcrous because without the Negro
the Southerner would have none feel the sting of his
wrath melted by another white to do the aborous and
dirty daily chores or TO do the farm work for board
keep which at best sustains existence.
Most wrie.ups report that the Southerner is most
fearful Of disadvantages resulting from desegrated
schools. This is really ticker.
The reason there various hues in the so-called
Negro is chiefly because he co-habited surrepti-
tiously with colored girls or women
His conscience in this immoral practice evidently
must be playing tricks him. for he is actually con-
Tossing that DESPITE his superior characteristics, he is
scared silly that his cherished Southern Belle is gddy
and not fully satisfied by his amOrous and masterfu
charms therefore she will not only be promiscuous with
the Negro male but have his off-springs legally.
The fact that mixed-marriages are small in proper
ton to population in states where such wedlocks have
been legal for years has not been aired. But he has
weighed it. Here is why.
He rants about the North having more race riots
and disturbances, being supported in the same vein by
his foremost author William Faulkner writing in latest
edition Of Life magazine.
The Detroit race riot is among those cited while
Faulkner points-out the Trumbu Housing project dis
turbance in Chicago about two years There really
is comparison, since the South brazenly declares
white man can do wrong against coored man North
ern Negroes do have better chance in numbers and
weapons beside law and order enforcement
Latest examples are the failure to even formally
charge white Columbus, Ga store owner with the say
ing Of Dr. Thomas Brewer, and the Till murder
where the defendants appeared at mock court hear
ing. The Negro in the South has been suppressed with
such ron-fst that he rarely fights back
That is why the bus boycott in Montgomery
Ala is surprising being the only in history that
has gained national publicity Of Negroes seeking treat
ment as human beings rather than chatte property
This current protestation refutes the reiterated
boasts Of the Southerners that he alone understands the
Negro and gets along peacefully with him, adding that
the Negro WANTS sccondclass citizenship segrega-
ton.
The issue Of the South having to change its nfam-
Gus whitesupremacy way Of life has many Of the North
ern newspapers leaning backward in respect to their
Is it not strange, that in midst Of all said and at
tempted none has deemed it fitting to consider or hear
how the Negro feels about treatment an inferior.
Certainly. the initial lawsuits against Dixie were filed
by Southern Negroes plaintiffs.
Why the attempts to label the NAACP red-in-
fitrated or ban it unregistered in certain Dixie
states? Simply because it is the lone and only means
by which the suppressed Negro can legally seek his
constitutional rights. II costs money--ots of ito
legally fight in the courts. The NAACP is only able to
supply the money through fund which represents
thousands of contributions from members and support
ers the nation.
What about the tme-element in enforcing deseg-
regaton in public schools? This considered CLOSELY
by the highest tribunal in the nation which left II up TO
district state courts to that compliance made
in reasonable time with outlined program.
What about the South not being ready to change
its traditional way Of life? The Emancipation Procla-
nation issued in 1865 could not reason that
81 years is plenty Of time to start altering baseess
tradition
Actually desegregation Of public schools could
have earlier, say about twenty years ago. This is
why. One must remember that lawyers for a plaintiff
must have the right legal point 10 gain favorable de-
cison
