The Thought Exchange
By Gordon B. Hancock
THE NEGRO NEWSPAPER—
OUR LAST HOPE
Out of the confusion and frustrations
cf the hour, three towering Negro per
sonalities have emerged, namely, Mar
tin Luther King, Adam Clayton Powell,
and of course, A. Phillip Randolph. King
sparked the civil rights movement and
gave it world-wide connotations. His
non-violent preachments gave it a moral
power that commanded the attention of
thinking people everywhere. The non
violent appeal stirred the nation relig
iously and pplitically, and above all.
such approach won the support of our
great government, administered by such
as the lamented John F. Kennedy, and
by Lyndon B. Johnson. By its civil
rights legislation, Congress added to the
great Supreme Court decision of 1954,
the Negro received a tremendous thrust
forward in his quest for full citizenship.
Then came the riots that, in too many
instances, stemmed from King-led civil
rights marches; and although disclaim
ing that the riots were a part of his pro
gram, Dr. King was rather faint in his
appeal for these riots to cease. Instead
of openly and soundly denouncing these
riots, he more and more prophesied that
there would be riots, thus indirectly sug
gesting to the unruly masses that riots
might initmidate the white structures.
If I am not hr error, Dr. King him
self passed along the slogan that there
would be a “long hot summer,” which
was using “riot language.” The riots
gave the anti-Negro elements in this
country just the leverage they wanted
to set in motion in a terrible white back
lash. This back-lash is gathering mo
mentum as talks of rioting and riots did
not awe the bellicose whites of the South
and nation, of whom there are more than
a few. The election of the racist Maddox
in Georgia as a candidate for governor
came upon the white back-lash tide that
had as its excuse, the rioting Negroes.
One of the Negro newspapers quoted Dr.
King as saying that Maddox's election
might bring on a race war. To talk of
riots now is being added talk of a race
war. Such talk is pure bunk and blus
ter. Who is going to fight the war, and
with what are they going to fight? The
Negro leaders are not going to fight any
race war, and the poverty stricken Ne
gro masses have nothing with which to
'White Backlash’ Cutting
Into Candidates’ Champs
May Affect
Brooke In
Mass.. Others
WASHINGTON (NPlj - The
“white backlash” hurt Negro
candidates for public office all
over the nation last week and
aided white candidates playing
on racial fears.
.Likely to be defeated by
“white backlash” feelings was
Massachusetts Atty. Gen. Ed
ward N. Brooke, whose oppo
nent, Gov. Endicott Peabody,
is an even stronger civil rights
advocate than he.
Brooke, who seeks to become
the North’s first U. S. Senator,
has tried to save himself from
the backlash by declaring that
he has never been involved
with “demonstrations or vio
lence,” not distinguishing be
tween the two.
“I am the law enforcement
officer of the commonwealth,”
he asserted.
Statements such as these fail
ed to save him from probable
defeat after leading Peabody
early in the campaign by a
2-to-l margin.
Os the two candidates, Pea
body has more active civil
rights record. Peabody signed
a Massachusetts housing bill
stronger than the housing provi
sion of the 1966 Civil Rights
Bill which failed in the Senate.
Brooke, meanwhile, disso
ciated himself from civil rights
demonstrations and denounced

Youth, 18, Visits Newspaper Offices,
Later Attacks Deputy, Then Committed
An 18-year-old Raleigh youth
who was on his way to a Ma
rine training camp at Parris
Island, S. C., Monday, and who
jumped from the Greyhound bus

recruits to the facility Monday
of this week, allegedly attacked
a Wake County Deputy Sheriff,
sometime after leaving the of
fices of The CAROLINIAN the
same day.
Rongy Vernon Washington, of
fight; and in the end, it will be a Negro
massacre, as in so many instances in the
past. Recently, Randolph said that a
race w’ar was possible with disastrous re
sults in prospect for Negroes and the na
tion. Powell is allying himself whth
Black Power, and has already called for
such a meeting. Try how he will, Pow
ell, however shrewd and resourceful he
may be, cannot disassociate Black Pow
er from the philosophy of the Muslems
and Malcolm X. However, veiled, it is,
a power threat against the white man.
Threatening the white man with pow
er is not going to frighten the white Pha
raohs into letting the Negroes go. Power
threats against the white man is so much
time lost Such talk is empty and smacks
of poor judgments. It is like unto a quar
terback with a light, inexperienced team
calling for power plays against a strong
er and more experienced team! When we
riot with and talk about race wars, we
are trying to frighten the white opposi
tion wih our “power plays.” The white
man knc. our strength and bur weak
nesses much better than we do ourselves.
Just as riots and rioting have strength
ened and stiffened the white opposition,
so the newest talk about impending race
war will further increase the advancing
tide of white back-lash. Negro leaders
who refuse to use common sense and or
dinary judgment cannot lead the Negro
in these critical times. In proportion as
they inspire Negroes to use force they
do not have, is the extent they are mis
leadtrs instead cu leaders. Great courage
is one thw . a; 1 poor judgment is an
other. The bull which met the flying lo
co min’: he d-on and had great cour
age nut uSi i poor judgment. We need
a program rri less bluff and bluster
such or . leaders are employing in
their cun: .*. tactics. Just as the white
back-I.* :h ■„u the riots is a fierce and
dishearte ;i.v- thing, so will be the back
lash from our race war talk.
The anti-Negro white man refuses to
be bluffed by riots and talk of race war.
We need some program .to exploit the
gains we have made. Our leaders as
quarterbacks of a light, inexperienced
team err grievously yhen they resort to
power plays against a heavier and more
experienced team. THE NEGRO
NEWSPAPER TS OUR ONLY HOPE.
Our leaders are confused!

AJC Going
To Court
For Bond
W A S HINGTON, D.C. -The
American Jewish Congress has
filed an amicus curiae (friend
of-the-court) brief with the U.S.
Supreme Court supporting Ju
lian Bond’s right to be seated
by the Georgia House of Re
presentatives.
Bond, elected twice from
House District 136 in Fulton
County (Atlanta), has been bar
red from taking his seat on
charges that his endorsement
of SNCC statements on Viet
nam cast doubt on his ability
to uphold the State and Fede
ral Constitutions.
The American Jewish Con
gress brief asserts that the
charges against Bond have no
basis in law.
The brief of the Jewish civil
rights body makes these points:
1) The Georgia House of Rep
resentatives has “impaired
Bond’s freedom of speech in
violation of the United States
Constitution.” 2) The Geor
gia House “has impaired the
'right of Julian Bond’s consti
tuents to be represented in the
Georgia Legislature in viola
tion of the Equal Protection
Clause of the 14th Amendment.”
3) The Georgia House in ex
cluding Bond, yvho was elected
the first time by 82 per cent
of the votes cast and the sec
ond time as an uncontested
candidate, has violated “the
guarantee of a republican form
of government contained in Ar
ticle IV, Section 4 of the Con
stitution.”
