BEHIND THE HEADLINES
BT OHATWOOD HALL
NEGRO PRESS INTERNATIONAL
Some white Southerner* appear
to be letting their obsession with
miscegenation carry them to the
utter limit* of stupidity.
One among them, a Louisiana
Jailer, has become frightened, it
would appear, over miecegenation
by mail!
Correspondence between a
Negro prisoner and a eonunis
seratlve Swedish woman about
4,000 miles away In Sweden
hae been slopped.
Their exchange of letters, it
would seem, amounts to miscegena
tion!
One sometimes wonder what are
the thoughts of the antimlacegena
tionists when they look at groups
or group pictures of colored Ameri
cans.
What can be the explanation
for all those akin celor varia
tions and gradations dark
hrawN Kprwn ■*-*«*
low, light yellow and approxi
mate whiter
The explanation can be found
in one 13-letter word miscegena
tion. And this widespread living
proof of domestic miscegenation
didn't happen by mall.
In support of this axplanation,
the distinguished Swedish social
economist, Dr. Gunntr Myrdal,
wrote in his monumental work, "An
American Dilemma." that in Amer
ica "miscegenation has largely been
an affair oetween white man and
Negro women"
There is no escape. It is said,
from death end taxes <
Our country is now facing, with
growing urgency, another fact of
life from which there can be no
escape. It is the matter of equal
civil rights for all Americans.
Regardless of white backlash
era. racists and ether racial
phobia victims hemming and
hawing and blowing hot and
cold, the problem will not go
away. Nor are Negra Ameri
cana going away.
Like Banquos ghost, this prob
lem persists and will persist in tho
future until it is settled right.
Consequently, the only possible
escape is to dreg tthe worrisome
inequality skelton completely out
of the closet end bury it once and
for all.
Our country now has sharp legal
spades for doing this. They must
be used with greater determination
and vigor for digging the grave for
unequal civil rights in this country.
A South Korean friend has said
that some South Korean studenta
return home with strong anti- A
mertcan attitudes.
He cited the following examples
as among the causes:
One young South Korean waa
assigned to a small mid-west

dent One day he found the fol
lowing Ihsutt posted on tho
door of hla room: “Yellow baa*-

the building Janitor, but tho
Janitor, who was friendly told
him ho could not show him
tho apartment
The janitor explained that he
was only following orders from the
owner of and agent for the build
ing. What were these orders?
They were, the Janitor was good
enough to explain, not to show the
apartment to any prospective ten
ant of color, any color. -
The owner, the South Korean
found out, is a devout Catholic and
pillar of his church!
Such examples of racial bigotry,
