THE CHANGING SOUTO
“The best friend the Negro has in America is the soutiiem
white man. ” Ther? was a time when the utterance of such
words would have b^n a signal for consternation, the drawing
of ETuns, and a challenge by Negroes in the North or South,
to mortal combat. While there are places in the south where
the truthfulness of the statement may be doubted, there are
more places where it has long since been ^cepted as an irre
futable fact. The statement might be improved upon if it
could be changed to read: The best friend the Negro has in
America is the NEW southern white man.
It will be a sunrise to many Negroes in the north, espe
cially those in New York, who boast of the liberality of the
northern white to learn that the gr^t New^Ypfk Univer

ball team, when asked about playing against Coward: “I have
no objections—We (North Carolina) would play according to
the policies and the traditions of the school with which we are
playing. ”
At the University of Alabama, students signed statement on
the same question had the following to say: "We, the students
of the University of Alabama, deplore the fact that N. Y. U.
follows a policy of racial discrimination by disqualifying Jim
Coward, a Negro student at N. Y. U., from the l^ketball
team, because two southern games are schedui^." Here at
Alabama, we have always looked to N. Y. U. as a liberal north
ern school, as a leader in breaking down of Negro discrimina
tion." .
On the matter of keeping Coward from playing in the game
against the University of Nort^ Carolina, Chancelor Chase
had the following to say: “The time has not arrived when we
can ask southern schools to play against Negro players on
■outhem eampus^.”
The attitude, as expressed by reprsentatives of these south
ern and northern schools, is significant. We think it denot^
,s change in the general attitude of the southern white man
toward the Negro for the better and a change in the northern
white man toward the Negro for the worse. We think the
pendulum is fast swinging in the opposite direction in both sec
tions from where it was 15 years ago.
If Chimeellor Chase represents the growing attitude of the
northern white man toward the Negro, then the /ate of those
N^Toes who go north with the hope of escaping racial discrim
ination is due for disappointment.
We^mmend the University of North Carolina for its true
American attitude on the question, and we commend Coach
Lang for his courageous stand on the matter. Both have added
another star to the crown a great people in a great state. North
Carolina has again pointed the way to better day in the SQUth
when racial discrimination will be a thing of the past.
We condemn with all our power the ancient and out-of-date
attitude of Chancelor Chase. He truly is living in the dead
past, and with all his scholastic achievements, is unaUe to dis
cern the direction in which the wind is blowing.
