Negroes Led Astray By
Their So-Called Leaders
George S. Schuyler, a Negro reporter and editor, writes
one of the most responsible stories we’ve seen about civil
rights. He sets forth that American Negroes have been led
astray by “power-hungry” civil rights leaders. He presents
people, and most of them deplore the bad reputation they
have been given by the excesses of the agitational and
criminal elements of their so-called race. They respect life
and property. They own millions of homes, automobiles
and modern utensils and do not cram the jails. Like their
white peers, they are eager to live in peace. They have no
illusions about the marching, mobbing, picketing, van
dalizing Negro element. They know there is a lot of law in
the end of a policeman’s nightstick, and they want it used.
"Above all, these Negroes wish white people in author
ity would stop flattering and encouraging the sorceror’s ap
prentices leading astray the mentally retarded and crimi
nally bent black minority.
"Phony prayers for the salvation of white ‘Oppressors’
and chanting slave songs fooled nobody except possibly
the Utopians and wishful thinkers.
"As many Negroes foresaw, the net result of this long
encouragement of civil disobedience, disdain for authority
d^d general disrespect for public morals, was to set the
stage for the successive disgraceful orgies of burning, loot
ing, vandalism and death, with the criminal elements of the
slum proletariat taking over. Ironically, when police called
upon these civil rights leaders to help control the ram
paging mobs, they were, if found, completely ineffective.
“With the recklessness of complete ignorance or irre
sponsibility, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference
(SCLC) sent its mobile gangs of young clergymen from
place to place to take over the revolution despite expressed
objections of local leaders, even mobilizing school children
to face police clubs, dogs and fire hoses, breeding ill will
and jeopardizing Negro jobs by promotion of nuisance tac
tics. No matter how many minions might be jugged by the
Police, Martin L. King always contrived to get out in time
for his next speaking engagement. /
"Ever since the long and futile Montgomery bus boy
cott (settled not by marching but by federal court order),
peripatetic King and his posse of political parsons in the
Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) have
roamed the country collection coin and infecting the men
tally retarded with the germs of civil disobedience, camou
flaged as nonviolence and love of white people.”
Schulyer had a lot more to say and he concluded by
saying that “now that the Civil Rights Law of 1965 and the
Voting Rights Law are operative, everybody had a right to
expect that we would see an end to demonstrations, picket
ing, arson, looting and vandalism. But these evils are easier
started than stopped, and they just don’t go away because
another law is on the books.’’
And that "craven politicians have contributed much to
the insurrectionary atmosphere by not standing up to the
intellectual authors of violence and subversion.” Schuyler
blamed mass media for giving too much publicity to a
shrewd civil rights leadership. "Otherwise,” he said, “they
would be unknown today. They could not have done their
evil deeds.”

In a story written for the North

Schuyler says . . .
“The current crop of antiwhite
disturbances, like those in the past,

increasing competition between rival
