The Tightrope Of
Color And Race
BY DANIEL BELL

Mr.. William F. Buckley, Jr, Is of the racial
right"-not in the political sense of an extremist
who would disrupt constitutional processes, but in
the original literal paradox of the term. He seeks to
go to the root of the matter (as radical does) and
las is the conservative habit) always comes up with
the same answer: You can't change human nature"
This is Bucldeys finding, in a recent issue Of
the National Review, concerning the color question
Reflecting on James Baldwns essay, The Fire Next
Time, Buckley says that what the Negro wants Is
an "evanescence of color and that this Is impos
sible demand. He cites two instances of Balwin's
humiliations-the first involving Irish policeman
who yelled at him a child 60 back to Harlem
where the Niggers belong' and the second which
occurred more recently, involving bartender at a
Chicago airport who refused him drink the dis
ingenious ground that he under 21. Then Buck
ley asks: How can such meanness be cured by egis
lation?" What shall we do in the new order
to that policeman and that bartender? Shoot them?
1t is to the point to shoot human nature,
whence the troubles really come :" And in his
far-out fashion, Buckley concludes: pass law that
forbids bartenders from being rude to Negroes and
you have passed a law forbdding human beings
from being human beings :"
The trouble with this reasoning is that it eludes
a basic distinction between prejudice and discrim-
nation. Prejudice is attitude" which is not east
be barred. II policeman Is brutal to an individ
ual strip him Of his badge; true 1t may not
stop him from being sadstc but it restricts his op
portunties for being Similarly can say that
a teacher who is to a child Is not fit to be
teacher. The answer, though, Is not TO shoot him
(which is what Russian has seriously proposed)
but to fire him. BY penalzing discrimination, one is
asserting the moral judgment Of the community
against these wrongdoes.
The problem Of discrimination Is a problem of
law because 1t involves the cardinal principle Of the
rule Of law"-the principle Of generality. In pub
lie place, or a place open to the public every indi
vdual should be treated equally So while one does
not "cure" meanness by legislation, one certainly
can penalize those who guilty Of 1t, just
penalties any act of cruelty.
A different kind Of radical right" with apol-
ogies to Mr.. Buckley Is the Black Muslin move
ment It is index Of the fever pitch Of the color
issue that few Negro spokesman are now willing
openly to condemn the Black Muslims although
they were six months ago. Last winter, Kenneth
Clark the Negro psychologist Of the city College Of
New York. opposed Malcolm x, the Black Muslin
leader, on a televdsion program. Today, Professor
Clark ts quiet. James Baldwin has expressed some
sympathy for the Black Muslin movement; 20 has

WRONG BLOOD NO
BAR TO EXTRADInON

Oklahoma City (ANP) - Tom
my Lee Knott dreamed up a novel
excuse in an attempt to beat ex-
tradition to Texas, but it didn't
work. Knott, serving the last days
Of a seven-year term in state pen
ftentiary for burglary, sued for his
release from custody on the
grounds that he had participated
in penitentiary plasma program
and had given two pints of blood
The program called for blood to be
removed from prisoners, plasma
drawn off, and his own cells re-
turned TO his body by TRANSMISSION.
Knott claimed that he was meg
Hgently and carelessly" given an
other mans blood cells which were
not compatible with his own blood
He said that extradition TO Texas
would cause "irreparable damage
to his health since he would be re-
moved from the care of local ply
sicians who have his case history.
However, the court of criminal ap-
peals ignored the health" angle
and ruled he must be extradited.
Minneapolis spokesman., 1963-12-26

Clayton Powell, that political chameleon has open
ly allied himself with the Black Muslms.
Ideologicaly, Black Muslimism is a form of
"chiliastic racism." To the Black Muslims as c.
Eric Lincoln has pointed out in his book, The Black
Muslin in America "every white man Is a devil
the personficaton of evil In Muslin mythology
Black Man-'the Original Man - was created by
Allah, the one true God. The white man, however is
a made thing beast, synthetic man called into
being by Ya1ub, the evil principle E. Since the
white is the of the devil, the white man
himself is devil by nature and incapable of doing
good"
In paper he delivered to the Society for the
Psychological Study of Social Issues Lincoln cites
press reports Of Malcolm KS reaction last June to
the that 120 people from Atlanta, Georgia
killed in a crash flight out of Paris Speak
ing to a gathering Of Black Muslims in Los Angeles
Malcolm x declared:
IT would like to announce a very beautiful
thing that has happened got wire from God
today Caughter). Wait, all right, well somebody
came and told me that he really had answered our
prayers in France. He dropped an airplane out of
the sky with 120 white people 1t because the
Muslims believe in an eye for eye and a tooth
for tooth. But thanks to God Jehovah, or Allah
will continue to pray and we hope that every day
another plane falls out of the sky"
In this respect, Hike every form of lower-class
millenariansm, Black Muslimism's twisted hate
creates elan for its followers by inverted form
of superiority. It promises TO its adherents a new
order which will arise after the spilling Of blood
For the moment, the Black Musfms are in an
enWabe position They preach a rhetorical mintancy,
but at risk 10 themselves, since they will not en-
gage in st-downs, demonstrate for jobs voting
rights, conduct any other 'integrationist" acti-
ty. Yet the movement constitutes latent danger
that could prove far serious because breaches
righteous violence: When one can harness anger
and aggression that derive from deep Illustrations
and resentment with an ideology that grasses any
guilt for murderous acts, has all the passion Of
a jehad or holy war BY lending respectabihty to
such a movement the Negro intenigentsa is badly
compromising itself.
When searches FOR the answer to the rele-
want question about the Negro agitation-why at
this time and not before? becomes apparent that
several elements have conjoned to precpitate racial
tensions.
The context Is economic For more than Is
years-during the period Of relatively high employ
ment from 1913 until roughly 1s5s-the Negro had
begun to make economic gains which were reflected
in the increasing stability Of Negro working class
family life. There was new sense Of expectation
among Negroes for the education and advancement

they be?
Is there not in this instance the
rival claim of human personality
not to be degraded by considera-
tions (of race, color and class)
which negate persons right to be
treated as an Individual? Telling
storekeeper that he must serve
everyone is an infringement on his
use of property. But how ludicrous
an infringement when weighed
against the rival claim of equal
treatment in a place of commerce!
Today, different rights are re-
stricting the exercise Of older, es-
tablished property rights. This is
not an abridgement Of freedom;
it is an abridgement Of property,
But the change has come about
through free debate and through
democratic consensus, and the leg
islative means of redress are still
open. What we have, then, is not
a loss of freedom, for we are being
asked to choose freely between
two rights.

AS changed, the ordinance bans
housing discrimination except in
rental units Of UP to four apart
ments where the owner occupies
one apartment, and except in sale

would like its successor to be
identical in every way.
Even If we are fortunate
enough to find one that
looks like our departed
friend, it is rare indeed that
: the personality and DISPOSE
ton are the same.
I have been a dog owner
for over 40 years. During
much Of this time, I have
done volunteer work for our
local animal shelter where
literally thousands Of dogs
have been received. Many of
these dogs are purebred, but
a larger number are mixed
breeds.
One Of the most important
functions at our shelter is
placing animals in new
homes. When we do this, we
always contact the new
owner after a few weeks to
inquire about the dogs adj
justment to its new environ
ment.
I just wish that your read
ers could see some of the
wonderful letters we have
received from thankful.
happy people who have
adopted their pet from our
shelter. The owners of the
mixed breeds are every bit
as enthusiastic as those who
take the purebred.
From the many letters we
have received over the years,
I would certainly state that
the mongrels rate just as
high in health, intelligence,
and devotion.
I know too that many an
obedience class has had as
its star pupil a specimen that
could never take any prize
for looks.
AS for replacing Imp"
why not take a copy of your
letter and a snapshot of him
to you local shelter2 See If
the manager will keep it for
reference, to let you know
when q look-alike comes in.
My guess is that it might
not take too long. Any shell
ter should be happy to place
an animal with people who
gave their pet such devoted
care.
