my first view ofthe South with all of ~ts Jim Crowism, segrege- |
tion and discrimination. | have come back. to Flint, much aged
in years from my service, somewhat brokenin realth and I
try to get the picture of what Flint means to me and what it
chould mean to me so that the two might be compared that I.
may draw afar conclusion. |
We are living in a city that is remote tothe. Mason and |
Dixon Ine and vet | do not find that our fortunes are not in~
anywise comparable to what our surroundings would demanc.
T om willingto grant that Flint is ctrictly an industrial town,. with a dearthof white collar jobs. I find too much reluctance
en the part of people who are in power to accord to our race;

anv jiohs of distinctio? recardless of the merit ofthe aspir2nts. |

It ~s an odd paradox trat if men are drafted to go to the four |
naencen of the world to ficht for their country, and I take great
#4. tn that: it ceeme thotithev would have somethi-g to aay
mlast th- anvernment oftheir citv etate and nation. We have!
Lan chented here andthere..We have been buffeted abont |
from pil'ar to post and now it seems. to me that it is time all
young men to step forward. Weishould not only serve but be: We gould, take: the reins and guide our perple to the
_ hatter thines ~n life. ettBer ioks, Retter educational opvortunities. better housing, more recreation and more: police and fire
protection. To acquire these blessings we w'll have to envage
in that moct complex of all American complexes, and that is
politics. We have got to get behind the right men and the
richt issues, with one idea ~n view and that is to serve the verv
hest interest of our community. state and nation. In many instances we can go wrong, but there is one instance: that we can
not eo wrong and that is in voting for George Friley for com"missioner from the Third Ward. To do this is to use voor!
sensc; anything else is madness.

A DISSERVICE TO A GOOD CAUSE

In keeping with a policy that is nat onal, the Community
Civic League. sent!etters to all of tre lhurches of Flint, requesting the pastors to impress upon their people the extreme urgency of registering so thatthey would be qualified to vote. Mention was made of the fact that a colored man was running ana
it was~implied that the comm~'ttee would be grateful for him to
be suported by the people ofthe Third Ward. ol

~It has been reported tothe writer that a very prominent
pastor made derogatory remarks concern'ng the canlidate and
that he reflected unfavorably upon the type of business that
this man conducts, or has conducted. This seems irrevelant to
the real issue. Tre league did not seek to usethe pulpit to further the centleman~s candidacy. It merely sdught to have the
nactor to use his good offices in urging that the people avail
thémselves ofthe greatest right of citizenship and that is the
right to vote We feel that a fa'lure to do thib is a disservice to
a good cause.

We realize that anyone who has the shaping of the lives
of youngsters is sensit ve about where they go or what they do.
We all would like: to have them in church on Sunday and refrain from all of those acts thatare a breach. of the Sabbath.
Just what to have must be perplexing to all of us and at the
same time give us some food for thought. __,

When our young people go to the moving picture shows
or any of the palaces of pleasure; itis like walking through ornated portals into crystal palaces to gaze upon jasper walls.
The program there is entertaining from beginningto end and
creates an incentive for the young patron to go back. This going back is a longine for something that has not been fulfilled.
In that alone lay the church~s greatest opportunity. Let us
make our churches more beautiful. Let us offer a program
that will be constructive as well as enjoyable to our youth from
beginn'rg to end. If the present day youth is apparently irreligjous some of the blame can be lain at the door of those who

carted,

to Negroes than to white workers for it usually gives Negroes
rights which both white workers and white employers were
not. willing to grant to Negroes
otherwise,

Nether. the J7IO nor the
AFL is going to be so foolish
and spendthrift as to offer Nefroes that vague something
called Social equality in the
south. They. haven~t done that
in.Chicago, Detroit or.New
ork. However, all CIO and
most AFL unions have and still
guarantee Negro workers.

More consistently the ~~guaralmost always means
equal pay for equal work, but
Negroes are uSually given the
run-ground when it comes to
promotions: on the basis of seniority and_ability, But the Negro with a beef on this point,
by virtue of his union card,
has grounds on which to fight;
grounds which arouse a more
sympathetic attitude in the
breasts -of his fellow white
workers, To that extent Negro2s. stop being a Negro and
becomes ~union members.~

But in 1944 there were 57
strikes itil, the U. S,
granting
groos. or according them eco
{ nomie equality, Most of these

against
promotions to Ne-{

were in union organized shops
and in the north. Less than
half a dozen were in the south,
~not only because the south had
fewer factories but fewer Negroes tried to get ahead in them.
Clearly, the Negro worker will
gain tremendously if CIO and
AFL can strengthen his claim
for economic equality as to
wages, promotions and _ seniority. Ae,
Writing in the May issue of
the American _ Federationist,
Sam J, Byers, president of the
AFL~s Laundry Workers International Union states:

- ~The issue in the south, as
elsewhere is not ~social~ equality, It is economic equality.
The majority of the Negro
members of our union have very
emphatically expressed themselves that they are not now
interested in social equality, but
~they do want economic equality
and they feel that the people
who are preaching social equality are doing a disservice to the
Negro people,

Our aim is higher wages and
better working conditions for
all our members, irrespective
cf race, creed or color. In time
Social equality will take care
of itself,

are directing our religious program. If we have nothing new
to offer why not dress the: old up and vresent it in an interestine way and make it a challenge to the dance ha'ls and the
- skatine party.
We cannot 'n realism eXpect our children to get un testifying singing and praying as their elders do, but we can have a
program that will keep trem at the church and if this is done,
when thev are older they will follow the same Christian traits of

their elders.

er, so much needs to be done
to raise the economic and cultural levels of the families which
produce the coal that is the
backbone of American industry. A great responSibility rests
upon the operators, but an even
greater responsibility rests upon
the industries and people of the

working conditions in this in
lines. This time because it has
been a contributing factor in
slowing up reconversion thruout the nation, I hasten here to
say that the operators have as
much to do with the critical situation now facing industry as the|
miners, In other articles I have

ed that operators have not_instituted: safety measures which
would save hundred of workers~ lives. All in all, this is the
reason for a John L. Lewis.

the man does not take it.~
Father had something: This
is equally true of the suffrage
of Negroes; for unless Negroes
avail themselves of the suffrage opportunities the sacrifices
of those who went before are
thereby nullified. The voting
privilege has been bought. with
a grat price and when it?is
spurned we commit not oly
political sacrilege but we lay.
the plans for future disaster,
In this late date Negroes are
in far too many caS8es far too
indifferent to the privileges of
the ballot, They are in very
truth nullificationists, They are
nullifying the supreme court de
cisions and they.are nullifying.

the sweat and tears and blood
of those who died that the voting privilege might be ours.
The story goes that in a certain city.of.the upyer. south, a
prominent Negro was urged to
offer as a candidate for the city
council. A campaign was. planned and prosecuted most vigorously, Enthusiasm ran high.

Negroes became ~certain~ of
700 votes at one phase of the
campaign. Just before election
~the said 700 votes dwindled to
about 300; and as one of the
campaign promo~ers wrote me:
~If a few hundred whites had

date, our campaign would have
looked silly.~ Thus the Negroes
who did not vote nullified the
politcal support offered by
sympathete whtes,
- The NAACP, has won decision after decision in the supreme court which gave political advantage to Negroes but
our very indifference is nullifying both the decisions and
the worthy efforts of the N,

Ultara-nationalism ~ the flag

race prejudice..The most ferocrace-mongers, the Gerald
L. K, Smiths, Bilbos, Ku Kluxers, et al, are also.:the most
ferocious nationalists. This is
a fact. pregnant. with significance, and -with a Significance,
alas, that is: not generally appreciated, For example:. Nationalism ~ national consciousness and the feeling that

races, That was around the end
of the eighteenth century. Up
to that time no one seemed to
have daubted that man formed
a single, indivisible species, As
the spirit of arrogant nationatiem ~spread; however, ' and -
people of each. country were
indoctrinated with the notion
that their own national character was the purest, their soldiers
the bravest, and their national
traditions.the most glorified,
distinctive racial bodies were discovered or invented tor every
national ~soul.~;

This is seen most clearly in
America where, despite the fact
that Negroes arrived. in large
numbers. in the seventeenth century~long before the ~ ancestors of most white Americans~
they are still regarded in every
other than a lIegal respect as
aliens. The ~American~ of play
and story is always white, Indeed, so deeply rooted in nationalist theology

that the native-born Negro is
habitually called an ~American
