Segregation, discrimination, differentials,
ranl; outgrowth of hate and unreasonable
prejudice, produced strange and interest-
mg pranks. They have certain compen-
sations—shall we say; they ^possess the
property of bouncing back like a rubber j
ball, or returning to the sender like a
boomerrang. They exemplify the homely
philosophy of which the story of Mordecai
and Haaman is a good example. Build a
gallows? Build two. Dig a ditch?
two. The debate on Georgia’s, that proposed r j
white primary law revealed many
sage of the law would break
riers which have protected the j
against a two-party system, The white
primary law, aimed primarily at disfran¬
chising Negroes, has achieved at least two
things: it has done more than anything
else in recent years to make Georgians
aware of the insecurity of democracy in
Georgia; and it has made Negroes aware
of the importance of organization and
leadership.
It is gratifying to learn that the County
Commissioners are thinking favorably of
proposing a bond election for one million
dollars for school improvement. Besides
providing for the general needs of our
schools, such amount of money should be
sufficient to give Negroes a high school
that would lift education for them in Sa¬
vannah to a position comparable with the
best schools in the South. The Tribune will
support the calling of a bond election for
the purposes as outlined by Judge Houlihan.
Two educators appeared on the same
program. The first to speak struck a
favorable note when he laid emphasis up¬
on the fact he would consider his boy’s
education incomplete, if he did not learn to
milk a cow. This was following a familiar
line The other educator refused to be
at a disadvantage, and he said, “It is all
right to know how to milk a cow, but 1
want mv boy to know how to do something,
a calf can’t beat him doing.” Educator
number one. did did not get a chance to
press his advocacy of including a course
„„ hunting do g, in the colleg e
•pv,.. The gang was called into a it Vmddl* huddle
The wool-hat boys to befuddle
“A joke, my boy
Was all they done;—
’Twas a mess, that gubernatorial muddle.
‘As long as there is anywhere in the
world a center of infectious
intolerance for race or a sex, an age group
or occupation, a caste or a class, or for
those who profess one religion than an-
other, all of us are endangered, every day,
every hour.’
“Above the babble of fanatics one can
distinguished a few voices vainly shouting
that the notion of race is a myth which all
intelligent people should discard. Yet
quarrel about race is certainly not between
the uneducated, on the one hand, and the
cultural elite on the other. Brains, birth,
high station, or success in a particular
-profession do not prevent a man from hold-
ing fast to race prejudice.”
—Jacques Barzum
RAISING FUNDS TO FIGHT
WHITE PRIMARY
Continued from page one
eied by the Rev. Ralph Mark
Q .Ibert, president of the loca
branch and also head of th
| association’s state conference.
Rev. Gilbert impressively
| stressed the imperative need of
Negroes throughout the state
jo ning into a solid phalanx to
combat this new effort to eli-
Im nate them from the state i
Ip....
Responsive to a most enthu-!
Isiastic degree, the audience |
witch practically packed the
(church, laid on the table voi-
ir.tarry contributions w(hich
unounted to $950-00, the larg-
Et single donation to the cause
jeing $100 from Ezra Consis-
3ry, Masons, and several $25
lonations from individuals.
Aa a beginning of the local
rive the leaders are very^rr.uch;
plated jyannah over being the prospects of
able to secure.
THE LAST LEG
The “white primary,” the last or per¬
haps only the latest—device for bolstering
white supremacy, is one among a
line of efforts to keep Negro citizens from
voting which date back eighty years.
intimidation of violence, the Grand Fa¬
ther Clause and a military record in a par¬
ticular war were some of these devices,
demagogues have kept alive
fears of social equality, and Negro
nation. It is convenient to do so because
the people who are fed such notions are
among the least literate, who could never
understand that in part they are only from a
smoke screen used to keep them
knowing how largely the demagogues are
controlled by Big Business at home, and
from the outside—“furriners.” Of course,
there is a real reason why they fear for
“w h i t e supremacy,” unfortunately, not
too many years ago, there was not such a
revulsion to social equality, as is to be
noted in the variety of complexions seen
in any Negro audience, or on almost any
street in any southern city; as may be
gathered from a recent study of colored
p eo pi e w ho have “crossed over" in both the
North and South. Not so long ago, a re-
tiring judge in his valedictory address, re¬
minded his audience that it was difficult
for them to be sure they were not paa»-
ing by their cousins or other relatives,
when they walked the streets. * We can
understand how disturbing the thought
of what is happening to “white supremacy”
must be. It is interesting that this irre-
pressible ghost does not exist as tho result
any choice Negro women possessed in
those M days, ____ n Now their offspring had turn a
condition over which they no cohtrol,
with
ives and
w’hite
.Negroes have no design up-
on it, politically nor socially. They de¬
sire only to be'citizens just like other peo¬
ple. Racial inferiority in terms of men¬
tal, physical and spiritual incapacity is
outmoded. It has been refuted by science,
and labor, church, education and tho world
of sport are lining up with science, and are
gradually coming to proclaim “brother-
hood” as fundamental in the practice of
democracy. Even supported by the white
primary, “white supremacy” is a puny unci
dubious thing.
WIIAT IT MEANS
Many statements as to what the white
primary bill means have been made, so
many in fact that some people are confus¬
ed. There can be no confusion on ohe
point—it means that Talmadge's legisla¬
ture and his father’s followers intend to, ex¬
clude Negroes from having any part in the
selection of state officers. It denies them the
right to vote. We had a faint hope that the
pleading and admonitions of a few coura¬
geous legislators, and the high minded
advocates of justice and democracy, might
have influenced the Senate to vote against . .
it. But this hope went a-ghmmenng as
the days wore on. As things stand, Ne¬
1 lore roes the are Texas almost decision back.where■they and will .^bp- have .to
begin where almost in the from state, scratch. especially Negroes in Savannah ,every-
have developed an organization which they
must maintain, and they should easily raise
right right here here at at bonus. hortlO. • • Thel- The$- can
comfort in the fact that they are not
their battle only, for they are
for others who may at any mo-
b«-°me an excluded group. The
committee at its meeting in
gave evidence of its purpose to rend
persons out of the party, who dared
to obey Ith decrees. The events of the
six months have taught ua a lot
democracy, and the coniing Supreme
decision on the Georgia white pri-
law will have momentous signifi-
for democracy in America.
The observance of Brotherhood sponsor¬
by Jews and Christians is a step in the
direction, but it is only a step. No
of brotherhood can be complete
this democracy of ours that dees not
a representative minority or representatives that
one or more of the groups
more acutely the absence of it. Broth-
like democracy, must be practiced,
the token practice of it.
