Friday, February 17, 1956 THB SOUTHERN ISRAELITE Pace Nine A Personal Disgrace by Virginius Dabney Editor, Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch A Personal Disgrace The fact that racial and re ligious prejudice should, in any form., exist in a great de mocracy, is an incredible mockery of the very word democracy. It should be con- MAKE EVERY WEEK BROTHERHOOD WEEK C and S Employment Exchange 75% Hunter St., S. W.

A disgrace as shocking and as tragic as that of the dis covery that a near and dear member of one’s family has become a hardened criminal. For prejudice is a crime. It is a crime against the demo cratic ideal, a crime against the teachings of Christianity, Judaism and the other great religions, a crime against hu man decency and a crime against just plain common sense. Furthermore, it is a crime for which every Ameri can citizen, directly or indi-, rectly, is responsible, if not for its inception at least for the continuance of its pres ence in our world today. We are responsible because of our apathy in side-stepping the issue, because of our out moded give-i t-t i m e-i t-will- cure-itself attitude, because ^ ••• «j* ••• ••• ••• ••• ••• ••• ••• ••• ••• ••• #j» •*« «*• ••• •** ••• ••• ••• upd and CjownA (Role,) | RENTAL BASIS FOR ALL OCCASIONS | Black-Blue-White f SALES 1 Various Styles and Colors TY STOKES 261 Walker St, S. W. LA. 4388 BROTHERHOOD LEXICON by Joseph T. Shipley KIN applies to all of us. Words, like human bellies, are related. Kinship Is a fellow-feeling that should underlie our thoughts of other folk. HUMANITY means both human kind and human kindness. Kind ness should be as widespread as our kind—mankind. RESPECT is rooted in self-respect. When a man has a basic as surance of his own worth, he does not have to feel “superior,” he has no need of looking down on others so that he may look up at himself. A man who has self-respect respects others. HUMILITY is bred of true-respect, for It enables one to look at the whole responsive world with neither superiority nor Inferiority— but with the warm equality of neighbor and friend. CONSIDERATION, regard for others, and esteem, follow in this train. UNDERSTANDING of oneself increases one’s understanding of others. This may bring down the self-estimate of the unthinking; it will bring nearer the sense of the equal worth of all human spirits. DEMOCRACY rests upon belief in the worth of man. This means the worth of all men. The champions of democracy must therefore be armed not merely with pride but with humility; with a sense of responsibility, of brotherhood and human equality. BROTHERHOOD should be not merely a word but an attitude.

The problem is our problem, and, as long as pre judice exists in our land, we are the persons affected. The solving of it must be done by us all, each and every man, woman and child of this nation, of every walk of life and of every race, creed or color. It must be solved by our actions, by our words and by our thinking. And if we and our children are to survive as living creatures worthy of the name of hu man beings, it must be solved not in a theoretical future, not tomorrow, but now, this very instant. Common to all Christians and Jews and any creature created by God is the great Commandment of Love . . . True charity admits of no substitute. If we prostitute our love by admitting some and excluding others from our affections be cause they differ from us in race, religion, color political be liefs, then we are counterfeit religionists and traitorous Ameri cans. —Bishop Mark K.
