The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1959-10-22

Immediately after the Supreme
Court decision abolishing segre-
cation in school, the talk began in
Mississippi of ways and means to
increase taxes to raise the stand
ard of the Negro schools to match
the white ones. I wrote the fol-
lowing letter to the open forum
page of our most widely read
Memphis paper:
We Mississippians already know
that our present schools are not
good enough. Our young men and
women themselves prove that to
us every year by the fact that,
when the best of them want the
best of education which they are
entitled to and competent for, not
only in the humanities but in the
professions and crafts-law and
medicine and engineering-too,
they must go out of the state to
get it. And quite often, too often,
they don't come back.
So our present schools are not
even good enough for white peo-
pie; our present state reservoir OF
education is not of high enough
quality to assuage the thirst of
even our white young men and
women. In which case, how can
it possibly assuage the thirst and
need of the Negro, who obvious
ly is thirstier, needs it worse, else
the federal government would
not have had to pass a law COM
polling Mississippi (among 9TH
ers of course) to make the best
of our education available to him.
That is, our present schools are
not even good enough for white
people. So what do we do? Make
them good enough, improve them
to the best possible? No. We beat
the bushes, rake and scrape to
raise additional taxes to establish
another system at best only equal
to that one which is already not
good enough, which therefore
won't be good enough for Ne
groes either; we will have two
identical systems neither of which
are good enough for anybody.
A few days after my letter was
printed in the paper, l received
by post the carbon copy of a
letter addressed to the same TO-
rum page of the Memphis paper.
1t read as follows:
When Weeping Willie Faulkner
splashes his tears about the in
adequacy of Mississippi schools
we question his gumption in
these respects, etc.
From there it went on to cite
certain facts of which all South
erners are justly proud: that the
seed-stock Of education in our
land was preserved through the
evil times following the Civil
War when our land was defeat
ed and occupied country, by died.
icated teachers who got little in
return for their dedication. Then,
after brief sheer at the quality
of my writing and the profit mo-
tive which was the obvious rea-
cor, whv I was writer. he closed
by saying: Il suggest that Weep
ing Willie dry his tears and work
up a little thirst for knowledge
about the basic economy of his
state"
Later, after this letter was print
ed in the Memphis paper in its
turn, 1 received from the writer
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1959-10-22

of it letter addressed to him by
a correspondent in another small
Mississippi town, consisting in
general of a sheer at the Nobel
Prize which was awarded me, and
commencing the Weeping Willie
writer for his promptness in tax
ing to task anyone traitorous
enough to hold education more
important than the color of the
educatee's skin. Attached to it
was the Weeping Willie writer's
reply. It said in effect:
In my opinion Faulkner is the
m o st capable commentator on
Southern facts Of life to date.
-. If we could insult him into
acquiring an insight into the basic
economy of our region, he could
(sic) do us hell of a lot of good
in our fight against indignation.
My answer was that l didn't
believe that insult is very sound
method of teaching anybody
anything, of persuading anyone to
think or act as the insulter be-
lieves they should. / repeated that
what we needed Mississippi was
the best possible schools, to make
the best possible use Of the men
and women we produced, re-
CARELESS of what color they were.
And even if we could not have
school system which would do
that, at least let us have one
which would make no distinction
among pupils except that of sim
pie ability, since our principal and
perhaps desperate need in Amer
lea today was that all Americans
at least should be on the side of
America; that if all Americans
were on the same side, we would
not need to fear that other ma
tons and ideologies would doubt
us when we talked of human
| freedom.
Behind The Fact
But this is beside the point.
The point is, what is behind this.
The tragedy is not the impasse,
but what is behind the impasse
the impasse of the two appar-
emily irreconcilable facts which
we are faced with in the South;
the one being the degree of our
national government that there
be absolute equality in education
among all citizens, the other be-
ing the white people in the South
who say that white and Negro
pupils shall never sit in the same
classroom. Only apparently ire
concilable, because they must be
reconciled since the only alterna-
tive to change is death. In fact,
there are people in the South,
Southerners born, who not only
believe they can be reconciled
but who love our land-not love
white people specifically nor love
Negroe specifically, but our land,
our country, our climate and ge-
ography, the qualities in our peo-
pie, white and Negro too, for hon.
esty and fairness, the splendors
in our traditions, the glories in
our past-enough to try to recon-
Gle them, even at the cost of dis
pleasing both sides. These people
are willing to face the contempt
of the Northern radicals who be-
lieve we don't do enough, and the
contumely and threats of our own
Southern reactionaries who are
convinced that anything we do is

Letters
Gardena, Calf,

Gardena, Calf.
Dear Mr.. East:
I don't know whether you will
have either space or inclination to
publish this letter, but here goes
anyway. Normally I don't write
letters-to-editors, however your
publication is so damned thought
provoking that / feel obligated to
answer. Furthermore, you are do
ing very important work which is
based on either extreme courage
or severe insanity. We who are
about to dine salute you.
l feel that your paper tends to
give a false impression, Wis, that
bigotry is limited to the Southern
portion of the United States. I
realize that this is not your in
tention, but rather is caused by
the nature of your publication
which is a regional newspaper.
One thing, at least, can be said
for Southerners: they're honest
bigots. Northerners tend to cloud
their bigotry under such remarks
as ooh, I'm all for the Negroes -
as long as they stay in their
place." To Northerner Negroes
place is a. Any house - except
next door to me, (2.) Any job =
as long as it's not equal in pay or
prestige to mine, g. any auto
mobile = except a Cadillac, in
which case we remark cha! I'll
bet you anything he lives in a
chicken-house just so he can
drive that car"
/ do believe, however, that GER
tain things can be validity said a.
gainst the Negro. They are a. he
tends to be too thin-skinned, Of
ten seeing bigotry where none
exists; e. Negro children are IN
ferior to White children in the
level of schooI-work accomplish
ed;! (3.) he lacks a fighting inter-
est in politics and doesn't vote
when given the opportunity; a.
he is often a poor credit risk and
even worse on insurance company
loss-ratios; and o. on the job he
tends to be lazy.
If the above paragraph was
taken out of context / would ap-
pear bigot. Actually, the re-
verse is true. Hitler said: lie,
when repeated often enough, be-
comes the truth. 1t appears that
Negroes have come to believe the
lie promulgated by Whites, Wis.
that they are truly an inferior
race. Of course there is the more
obvious conclusion: Negroes feel
it isn't worth the effort to fight
back and move toward first-class
citizenship (the Whites would on
ly knock them down again). / be-
lieve that both the aforemention-
ed factors are important in con-
sidering the reasons behind the
concentrations made in the pre-
vious paragraph.
With the above in mind, / am
solidly behind organizations such
as the N.A.A.C.P. and publica-
tions like Ebony. They tend to
show the Negro that he's as good
as anyone else. Furthermore Eb-
ony often advises the Negro OF
his own shortcomings, and in adj
dition explains the Importance
(and firm possibility of gaining
first-class stature in America.
If the American Negro wanted
to do so, he could elect the next
President of the United States
This is due to heavy Negro popu-
lations in the larger Northern
cities and the strange manner in
which our electoral college was
designed. In other words, the
Negro already has much power
| if only he'd use it. This is true
even in the South where Martin
Luther King was so effective IN
Alabama.
The final solution to the prob
lem, however, cannot be handled
