!. OUR OPINION :
Isn't II About Time?

Some where down the line the Negro has gotten off the
track. Al present, we don't seem to be getting anywhere, or
making any effort to get anywhere. We all seem to know where
we want to 90, but none of us seem to know just how, or
where to START to get to our destination.
It would appear with the turmoil we find ourselves in
here in Arkansas and Little Rock particular, that We would
find ourselves and get together for something constructive.
Since the sage of Greasy Creek, we often have to give
recognition to as the executive head of our commonwealth,
has turned the tide back to the reconstruction era, it is time
for us to exert some concrete action while the white people
are encouraged to hate Negroes.
While the white people are hating us. we cannot advance
ourselves any by hating them. Hold it :. don't get us wrong
the Good Book tells you to love your enemies But this is
not the Good Book. We say don't hate them. When you hate
you are more miserable than the ones you hate, and it is ma
tura1 for your initiative to be stiled which will prevent you
from thinking clearly.
What we need now is clear thinking and positive action.
IN Little Rock, hoodlums have taken over thus far. We do not
by any Interpretation mean that hoodlums are in the majority.
But for the time being they are in power, because they are
strongly organized and use the weapon Of false white SUI
premacy' which will attract the ego of the white man, not
only in Arkansas, but all over the world.
The method the hoodlums use to maintain control and
stay in power is based upon striking in the dark, intimlda-
ton and s%traightout lies.
We don't have to strike in the dark, and neither do we
have to intimidate or lie to pull ourselves from under the
pressure of this group. We don't even have to be subVerslVe
and disgrace our country. We can easily work within the
framework of the United States constitution.
But there is a catch. We have to change our practice. A
long with meeting in expensive edihces each Sunday preparing
ourselves to die, we must meet and prepare ourselves to live.
Living is one of our major goals, therefore it is necessary to
put emphasis on it.
In our preparation for dying, we have invested in excess
of a million dollars in church property, and for less than
one-tenth of that amount in recognized business enterprises.
There must be a reason for such discrepancies. 1t is not
sinful, unholy or illegal to own and operate legitimate bust
nesses. In spite of all the evils the south has and has prac-
ticed, it has never prevented the Negro from pioneering in the
field of business. So therefore the reason for our lack of en-
terprises must in all probability be charged to those who have
set themselves as our leaders.
The Negro in Little Rock alone spends in the excess of
forty million dollars annually for necessities alone. This a

-

in the form of pamphlets and
other printing matter pours for
ward a muddy jet of hatred and
offensive insults against the NAA
CP and its Arkansas leader, Mrs.
Daisy Bates, the Superintendent
of Little Rock Schools, Mr.. Vir-
gil T. Blossom and the entire
North of the United States OF
America. The content of the PAM
phlets defies description and con-
not be reproduced because of its
obscene character.
Some of the material is printed
by the Capital Citizens Council,
Julian Miller, Director. Among
the more subtle items we find
the envelope used for mailing.
They show pictures of American
soldiers with fixed bayonets at
lacking girls and kicking child
rem, and the captions are: Re-
member Little Rock" and BROTH
erhood by Bayonet'. The enve-
lope is further embellished by a
sticker Mailed from Occupied
Arkansas
One of the agitators on the
mailing side is an obese former
school teacher who has played
quite a role during the mob vlo-
lence in Little Rock, before Fed
eral troops restored law and or
der around Central High School.
This fat little mar carries a
heavy chip Of hatred on his
shoulders, hatred against every
thing not exactly his type of hui
man being: frustrated, physically
repulsive, anti-Negro, anti-JeWish'
anti-cultural, anti-eve-ything-de-
cent. He INDUCES in ~obscenities
and is at the same time complete

into difficulties with his enVlro-
ment. He is entirely emerged III
his commissions Of hatred, In the
most part against the Negro
which gives him a feeling of SUI
p-emacy which he SO badly needs
for his ego. All in all, he is quite
a picture Of human ~depravlty'
and rs so far remote from the
cultural level Of the rest Of the
American people as NeanderthaI

Magnon man of the famous
French and Spanish caves with
their extraordinary paintings OF
$4,000 years ago.

mount would not cover his pleasure, neither does 1t detract
from the Sunday morning collection plate which is vital to
our present way of life.
We say We want recognition and citizenship rights. What
is a better way to get recognition than to have something to
offer to the markets of the world?
We can not deny the fact that we have the money, we are
financing business for others. We will admit that it would be
practically impossible to find an individual who could finance
a reputable or inviting business. But neither do we have any
record where an individual financed any of our magnificent
church edifices.
There is such a thing in Arkansas as corporations where
trust in each other and a little cash can do wonders toward
eliminating us from the prejudices of the Capital Citizens
council.
