Alexander Barnes Gives His
Analysis On 1966 Elections
(Editor’s Note: This analysis of the Negro's
relationship to the 1960 elections in North Car
olina is written by Alexander Barnes, veteran
newspaperman and former field representative
of the National Republican Committee, for the
National Negro Republican Assembly, headed by
Jackie Robinson and former legal consultant to the
National Republican Committee, Grant Reynolds.
The Republican Party, In N. C., like many
other states, lost its charm for the Negro in
1932 and since that time has either been pressur
ed by self-aggrandized Negro leaders, or white
politicians, agents of the Democrat Party, who
told them that if they were to ever reach politi
cal freedom, it was only through the Democratic
Party. These same political leaders have
seen to it that the Negro went just so far and
no further in the realm of politics.
It must lie noted that a chosen few have been

A MAMMOTH MISTAKE
Great men are not without their faults
and shortcomings. Greatness does not
mean infallibility. When great Dr. Mar
tin Luther King moved into Chicago to
dean out its slums and ghettoes, he was
leaving behind an Atlanta long known
for its jim-crowism and its ghettoed Ne
groes numbering thousands. Just wheth
er Dr. King was conscientiously trying
to clean up the North, and West or was
making a grand-stand move, we have
no way of knowing, and conjecture is
beside the point. But this we do know—
the Chicago adventure boomeranged
badly. The Nt gro-hating South looked
upon it as uncovering the “hypocrisy”
of the North and the North looked up
on it as moving the South’s problems
North tor solution, and the move was
met with stubborn and stern resentment
The move gave the white back-lash a
mighty thru ’ forward. If the move to
Chicago was iestined to pull the cloak
from the North s hypocrisy, it was poor
ly conceive ; h die first place None but
the most naive of Negroes and whites
ever look upon the North as being to
tally pro-N( gro and the South totally
anti-Negro. There are friends of the Ne
gro in the South just as there are ene
mies of the Negro in the North. It has
ever been the ml care must be tak nin
evaluating the'Situation North and
South. Then, too it must be frankly ac
knowledged that wherever an anti-N gro
Southerner goes he carries h.s rabid race
prejudice with him, and he becomes an
evangel to spread the doctrine: of anti-
Negroism. A lot of the hatred found in
the North and East and West was car
ried there by Negro-hating Southerner:;
But only the misguided and misinform
ed would deny that there is some hy
pocrisy in the North even as there is
brutality‘in the South. The kettle can
ill afford to call the pot black. If. there
fore, Dr. King was airping to “uncover”
the hypocrisy of the North, his plans
were poorly conceived. Granting that
there is and has been hypocrisy in the
North it must be admitted that this
“hypocritical” North is responsible for
the Negro’s Emancipaion. This hypo
critical North afforded a refuge for the

The presumption that an individual
who is registered and goes to the polls to
vote, but is inadequately informed to the
extent that he needs to be guided by a
slate, is an insult to the system of choos
ing an office-holder by balloting. This
procedure also insults the intellect of
the voting public However, until the
voting public rises up in indignation a
gainst such practice, paid poll workers
will continue to administer such insults.

the “slate” it proposed by those unat

N irth afforded standing room for the
fighting Negroes ch sed out of the
South. This hypocritical North gave
birth to the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People. It was
the hypocritical North that provided a
haven for Negroes who fled the brutal
S uth during World War I and gave
re 'put to the off-smitten Negroes. It
was the hypocritical North that lifted
our Negro stars to stardom such as Ma
an Anderson, Roland Hayes, Leontyne
Price: and last but not least, the amaz
ing Willie Mays, and Sammy Davis, the
inimitable. It was the hypocritical North
t. at sponsored and backed the Supreme
Court, decision of 1954, and engineered
the enactment of civil rights legislation
of ' 965 If the. North could thus befriend
th< Negro in its hydrocrisy, to show
them up is an unworthy undertaking.
Os course the Negro-hating South gloat
ed over this seeming pulling the cover
off the “hypocritical” North. The anti-
Negro newspapers had a field day in
publicizing the matter. But if the re
moval of racial disorders North was de
signed to uncover the hypocritical North
and indirectly placate the brutal South,
it was a most inglorious failure, for to
day, anti-Negro dements of the South
seemed more determined than ever to
hold the Negro down. There is nothing
more popular at the South than anti-
Negro propaganda, and the Negro-hat
ing Demagogue is having such a field
day as he never had before. In fact, he
has never had it so good! We hope that
th*. us; icion that our more recent inter- ,
racial disorders were carried North in

it has boomeranged badly. Negroes have !

the same level as the South with its pro

the South and disheartens the North;
~nd a North-South coalition is the in
evitable result, and that is exactly what
has happened as evidenced in the last
attempt at civil rights legislation in Con

been in the North!
