IS Wf NOT ~ QUR FAULT? IT 4s easy for us to condemn white folk to the “bottomless pit” for thett inhuman and unfair treatment of col ored people, It requites very: ltl . courage to write scathing editorials and make fiery speeches about the un Christian attitude of our white broth. ers, We do not need much brain to denounce the evils of segregation, disfranchisement and lynching. But it does take courage and brains te check up on our own shortcomings. It is hard to face facts «when thoso facts prove us to be the culprits, And we, hike all other human beings, will endeavor to put the blame on some- body else and shift the responsibility tor our failures on somebody other than ourselves, But denying the facts and shifting the burden will certainly not help us in our fight for justice and right. Eventually the American Negro must take his share of the burden and march forward with it hke a man, why not now? If he would only try it, there 1s no pow- er under Heaven strong enough to stop him. For more than a half century, we have becn talking about the unfair- ness of the dominant group. Hun- dreds of books have been written, A few more or leas effective protests have been made. Lukewarm appeals by the thousands have fallen short of their mark. Orators by the score have howled themselvat hoarse about the iniquity of their oppressors. And the whole time we have been begging for the crumbs that fall from the white man’s table. Is it to be won- dered at that he has paid no atten- tion to our appeals and our threats? Politically the Negro is losing the little Influence he had. The white man pays for the political campaign, naturally he is the beneficiary. Be- fore the campaign gets under way, colored citizens talk about what they are going to do, We say we believe the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bull is a nedessary law—But we will vote for the man who ignores a request to tell us where he stands on that, issue. The last Pennsylvania Primary election is & good illustration of that fact. Then we expect Mr. Vare to take us Be- tiously, It is not ME, Vare's fault it is ours, ted! While we are riding around in high powered automobiles and throwing away our money in foolish amusements even those rights we now have are being taken away. We spend vo much time trying to impress folk with what we do not have that we do not have time to look out for the sub- stantial things of hfe. The white man is responsible for some of our sufferings but we are to blame icr a lot of It ourselves. Let us be brave enough to admit it, and begin with all of our strength to do what we should for our own eleva- tion Philadelphia Tribune. E. B. B. Club Notes.
