In the realm of education ur system is now heroically struggling to hold its own against ‘hat of other countries. With “Albion. we doggedly vie for “the freedom of the seas. In the jazz and in medicine, in architecture snd transportation we face keen and determined competition. It Is only in the uncharted domain of barbarism that the United States safely enjoys the role of undisputed rulershlp.It has been said that race prejudice. whose legitimate child i s lynching— is an inherent human characteristic that the hostility a white person manifests toward a Negro or other non-white person and visa versa, is natural, and, consequently, will survive with man to the end of time (Unless, in the meantime, the Amalgamatlon-ists have, their way). This false philosophy has been preached so long that now it is accepted by an alarmingly high percentage of both whites and Negroes. It is the belief upon which Ku Kluxism on the one hand and Garveyism on the other is predicated.Inherent race antagonism is the religion of the Lathrop Stoddards, Madison Grants, Van Evries, Spears, Brans, Hefflins, et al.These men seem to believe that the white man is the sun that lights the world, that the-lustre of (other races is hut so much reflect-led glory, and that a Nordic is the i voice of the Almighty on earth.

The point of view they express are obviously the majority point of view today in the United States. Those white Americans who do not share the views o f these ragtime anthropologists are few and are considered dangerous radicals, even as John Brown, Wendell Phillips. Lovejoy. Eugene Debs, Norman Thomas and others, the majority of their countrymen shun and despise them while the Negro masses remain more or less hostile and indifferent.It is this strange attitude of the Negro in particular which makes thrice deserving the fulsome need of praise, encouragement lavished upon the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on the occasion of its 19th annual report. Founded largely by radicals aud socialists, the Association” is today without doubtI CCSi ret i glt;x! w.wit ! dyI St.: wfiiij wa: ;Mif f to Lalt; Thi ran on Cei A Th the Ralt; Ste * 1 Ste vis es Ma vis Pai Sat ingamG.CletislP.ZiomeRetheweserwitPeicieofdaiEtler,RichisRhdesMr
