Does Black Man Want
White Man’s Woman?
“Yes the Black Man wants
the White Man’s White Wom
an” is the conclusive findings
of an investigation and analytic
study made by Uriah J. Fields.
DOES THE BLACK MAN
WANT THE WHITE MAN’S
WHITE WOMAN? proves
that the vast majority of the
American people have not
been permitted — because of
the “big lie” operation con
ducted by integrationists and
others—to know and/or accept
the truth about the Black
Man’s goal for the White
Man’s White Woman. How
ever, the failure of Americans
to be guided by the truth re
garding the perpetual sexual
rendezvous of the Black Man
and the White Woman does
not mean that Blacks and
Whites are unaware or un
concerned about this “hush-
hush, touchy-touchy” issue.
In this booklet, a descrip
tive analysis of the White
Man’s White Woman is made
which reveals that this woman
is a myth, misnomer and mon
strosity. The Black Man is
after her, and some of the
reasons why he wants her are
both shocking and disturbing.
The Black Man is pictured as
having a miscegenation para
noia which has him bent on
inter-ethnic sexual conglomer
ation and sexualization of
America.
In the “finale” the author
states: “Admittedly there is a
place for the Black Man-White
Woman or White Man-Black
Woman intimacy . . . Not every
person is called to courageous
race-purity and those who
think they are pure may be
lacking in self-knowledge.”

he broke with the leadership

embroiled in the conflict that
a withdrawal must be gradual.
Our nation is in a very un
fortunate position. When a
peace conference is finally
held, we may be forced to
make several unexpected con
cessions. It may be necessary
to form a coalition govern
ment, as Sen. Robert Kennedy
has suggested, with representa
tives of the Viet Cong in

cannot go on indefinitely with
continued escalation. More

that the fate of Vietnam is
not an issue to be decided by
the United States. That de
cision is for the Vietnamese,
however.
I am certain that until
Americans begin to challenge
or question the right of the
United States to suppress alien
national riots and to toppled
governments, Goldwater and
his fanatic doctrines will
reign, in effect, if not in name.

of knowledge cannot stand on
academic artificial segregation
because the pursuit of know
ledge is an integrative process
wherein the individual student
through sharing in many ex
periences meshes them all in
terms of her own aptitude and
personality and fashions for
herself a set of values and be
liefs. Involution (that is retro
grade of the personality and
degeneration) of the personal
ity and isolation and academic
escape from the exchange of
ideas and research within and
outside the college make it a
monastery or a nunnery—
precisely what Spelman is not.
Each of the individuals being
honored has discharged an im
portant function to the ongo
ing operation of the institu
tion.
“Why, then, do we pay tri
bute this afternoon to employ
ees of the college from differ
ent departments? We do so be
cause each of these persons
assists in making every mem
ber of the academic island a
priviledged person, many of
whom are partly removed at
this time of their development
from the pressures of making
a living. That privilege carries
obligations: to share insights
and the excitement of discov
ery; to be tolerant of opposing
points of view; to learn from
the least of men and women
as well as from the more im
portant; to be mindul of those
who serve behind the count
ers, in the kitchens, on the
grounds, in the infirmary, on
the Board of Trustees, in the
Alumnae Association, in ad
ministration, as well as the
secretaries and the gardeners.
In sum, to treat with honor all
who contribute to the college
process, like the heart that
beats life through the body,
but whose presence is not as
visible as our head and hands.
All of these people help to
make the college what it is.
“No member of this group
we honor this afternoon is an
unimportant person. Just as
every finger counts in the hu
man body; even the smallest
and weakest finger is needed
in the full functioning of the
hand.
“Like Thomas Carlyle’s
bookplate, a lighted candle,
with the inscription under it,
“I bum that I may be of use,”
the employees we are honor
ing this afternoon have work
ed diligently and have been
of use in making the college
function economically, effi
ciently, and effectively.”
Dr. Lynette Saine Gaines
assumed what she considered
the privileged task of discuss
ing the heritage of Spelman
College. After emphasizing the
importance of one’s heritage,
regardless of world succuss,
prestige, or present concern,
she summarized the tremen
dous heritage of Spelman by
using phrases which comprised
the spelling of the word, “Her
itage.”
Heroic altruism was des
cribed as a first characteristic
of the heritage of the College.
Elevating friendships repre-
s e n t e d another birthright
stressed by the speaker. From
the time Mr. Rockefeller,
Senior gave to the cause of
Spelman during the prayer
service at which Miss Giles,
the founder of Spelman, spoke
to the more recent sincere sup
port, such as that given by one
of the first graduates, Victoria
Simmons, Spelman has been
blessed by those who have
been and are now friends of
the College.
Religious faith was identi
fied as a priceless part of the
heritage of Spelman. Al
though, today there are many
groups where omission of al
legiance to a religious faith is
considered socially appropri
ate, the founders of Spelman
believed in one God and in
the spirit of Christ and, had
numerous validations of the
triumph of their faith.
Intrinsic beauty is another
characteristic of the heritage
of Spelman. Yes, the very con
stituency of the College is a
tribute to intrinsic beauty, yet
it goes even further.
True womanhood was em
phasized as a part of the heri
tage of the institution.
Aspirational horizons was
another area stressed in the
heritage of Spelman. Fine mu
sic, stress on broadenng one’s
vistas, wonderful personalities
—all have made for a kind of
aspiration which is always mo
tivational, always inspiring,
and never-ending in its call to
adventure and exploration.
Great moments in the life of
the college were characterized
as another aspect of the heri
tage of the College. The visit
of Marion Anderson, vocal
izing from the President’s res
idence, and Virgil Fox at the
organ and other rare moments
have been the heritage of each
generation and have heighten
ed the lives of all who would
accept them.
Education of quality was
identified as a final ingredient
of the heritage of Spelman.
In conclusion Dr. Gaines
paid tribute to the honorees of
the occasion and assured them
that they have done much
to make this HERITAGE a
meaningful one in a great
institution.
The Morehouse Man,
Of all the men I’ve ever met
Of any race or creed,
A “Tiger” is the worst one yet
In every thought and deed.
He pledges truth to only you
But when your back is turned,
He’s jiving with your best girlfriend—
His pledges he has spurned.
His sadness when you find him out
Gives that soft heart of yours a turn;
So you’ll go out tomorrow night
Maybe someday you will learn.
“I’ll pick you up at six,” he says
With that truthful look in his eyes;
But when, at last, he arrives at eight
His excuse is, “Doesn’t Time fly?”
“A meal fit for a queen,” he vows
And where do you end up?
Eating hot dogs in some greasy dump
Where rats do not even sup.
Learn well the art of opening doors
For, as you will very soon see,
He’ll hop right in and out of them
And holler for you impatiently.
And after such an evening as this
When you finally get to your door.
Do you know that he expects a kiss?
And a kiss he does skillfully implore.
Tomorrow he’s at his old tricks again
With your “former” friend at his side;
What will be his excuse this time
For taking her for that ride?
These and other faults of theirs
Make chances very dim
That I would ever trust one
As far as I could throw him.
But still, with all their tricks and faults
And though they lie and sham,
My life could never be complete
Without my Morehouse Man.
