The Negro Need To Work Towards
Becoming The Man OF Character

In an editorial in the current isue of Ebony mag
azine in which the Negro is again pictured blaming
everybody particularly white folks for all of the ills
which beset him, without mentioning the fact that Ne
groes have failed to exert themselves, take advan
of their present opportunities in the fullest thus
exhibiting erybaby attitude that is arousng increas-
ing disgust among many thinking Negroes, as we'll as
among the white friends of the race there is reference
to Vance Packard's book, THE STATUS SEEKERS, in
which he says, white person sometimes work up
to the top of the social ladder but Negro can not
work up to being white man.
Up in New York, few years back we were talking
to of the nations top Negro figures in the enter
tainment field who had already forseen the possibility
of serious crisis in relations in this country which
he asserted would be provoked by small group of Ne
groes in high places who he pointed too as suffering
from the white Fever, described pre-occupation
for the company Of and association with white people
regardless.
One thing that see that will keep the Negro
from working up to being white man, is the total
lack of the possibility of such caacysmic biological
phenomenon, that will change the Negroes skin from
black to white such lamentation, in the Ebony ed-
tora being only another contribution the psychological
turmoil that is rapidly destroying the spirit and will to
progress of the American Negro.
Character is the making of the man. The virtues
out of which character is developed is not limited by
skin color.
We Negroes will find ourselves making far great
er progress in all directions when pay less attention
to those amongst worried because they cannot work
up to being white man. and devote more of our time
to working towards becoming of character who
ultimately finds place among like men of the world
regardless of the color of the skin.
