among all humans a seeking for

finds it, manifestation OF a
feeling of inferiority, not of su-
periority or even equality. 1t Is
a badge of immaturity.

who clung to the slight and
tenuouS status which sep
arated them from the slaves.
There were similar groups in
Washington, Phila hia
and other northern cities.
Security and status became con-
fused with color and with re-
Semblance to the dominant
group. This was very like the
status differential between "na-
tives" and "coloured" persons
in south Africa. The same is
true today in Indonesia where
the mixed Dutch-IndoneSianS
are being driven out by the In
ldonesian NationaliStS because,
like the Dutch, these mixed
Dutch -IndonesianS had, under
Dutch rule, enjoyed a higher
status than the mixed Indone-
slams and had taken advantage
of it. The Indonesians hate
these EuraSianS as much as
they hate the Dutch ruling
class.
Seeking status by right of
birth is as old as the dawn of
civilization. Just as old is the
belief that "all men are created
equal" and the attitude that
makes men refuse to accept, at
their own loss, a higher status
which they have not earned or
to deny to any man status he
has earned. There is nothing
racial about either attitude.
Both are human traits.
One happily finds little If
anything left among Negroes Of
the Status by color" attitude,
and it never was very wide
spread in spite of all the en-
couragement given it by the
master group in the south.
There is still among Negroes and

asked to talk to white churcn,
PTA, high school and college
groups about integration. The
questions always cover a range
of ideas, hear-say, stereotypes,
and prejudices. Some of them
are difficult to clarity briefly.
Their roots are in history or ira
dition. For instance, not long
ago was asked to talk to a
group of teachers in a graduate
school class. I found most Of
them sincerely interested and
some of them pretty sure they
had the answers before they
asked the questions. One per
son in the group quoted from
the "U. S. News and World Re-
port" a definitely biased and
widely read magazine that to
me doesn't seem to be too care
full about checking the authen-
ticity of some of the statements
it carries. The article in queS-
ton had stated that there is
among Negroes themselves
pattern of segregation based
upon skin color. This I as
sumed was intended to justify
segregation of the races.
There is some element Of
truth in almost any adverse
statement about Negroes even
by the most prejudiced non
Negro. The truth has no basis
in race. Since Negroes are hu-
man beings just as non-Ne-
groes are, the undesirable trait
is merely a human trait. Be
cause it is manifested within a
group, it is easy for one who
wants to do so, to consider the
trait a racial trait.
During slavery there were
small colonies" of free Ne
groes, who for security of many
kinds, isolated themselves. The
group often started out with
two or three free Negro families.
They were generally mulattoes
whose fathers permitted them
to gain their freedom. AS the
children in these families grew
up they sought SpouseS either
within the colony (often a rel
ative) or they sought other
free persons in nearby planta-
tions, or bought their spouseS
from their masters. The. stat
us of these groups depended
more or less upon their color so
they sought spouses whose col
or brought no threat to their
limited status in slave world.
For these people security, status
and opportunity were spelled
w-h-i-t-e.
There were numerous such
small communities which were
in time, to grow into quite large
communities in which there
were only a few family names
and nearly all are kin" There
were numerous such small COM
munities in the south, many in
North Carolina and Virginia
where slavery was somewhat
more humane. Some of them.
