Mr-, Pickens'?letter?in theTribune reads as follows; - "A FEAR IN THE SOUTH" Infrequency of Attacks on White Women by Negroes. ~in your issue of September 11,1 Thelma Cudlipp Grosvenor, a Southern white woman, say a that white women in- the South da*-e-not go unarmed out of calling distance from their houses for fear of Netrro attack. The -statement somewhat "begs the question.'^ Even if it can be ? ?shewn- that?tens?of thousands-ruf, f * .v?^Southern-white women-are; along, with colored men for hours and- even for - still that-wouid-not prove that they logic- can do is to shoyr the unreasonableness of this fear if" it exits. In the South there are more than -five?million?Negro?men?and?more - than fifteen million white women: In the last five" years tt criminal assaults (includiiig_allthe alleged and all the "attempted" assaults" by these men- against thesd women averaged twelve a year. In a community-where all the officers of - law are white, all power in the~handsof whites and all newspaper reports made by whites, it is reasonable to suppose "that every case of- violent attack by a black man against a white woman is brought to light. r The fear, then, is not based on the aptnnl dangrpr r?r frequency of the attacks, but it is due to the American color-psychopathy caused by the playing up of this insignificant record of the black man. These sixty attacks by-colored men got, more feet of news ? popcr opaeo daring these five years than was given^to any 600 of 6,000 ! ' similar attacks by white men. Besides, frankly, the Negro is an oppressed people, especially in the South-.?Men as well as women readily conceive^ fear of those whom they 'oppress. In the British 'West Inmfl?dies-46<i hlaoks are relatively not oppressed, and consequenfIy."a handful of English, whites among a-multitude - uf the blnukrot^bteeks havg~no fear. - So iflr \yg have^grQnted- the tpnoo'.of-^thia alleged feat, BuLwdl know white Ivomen "who have Hived ior yeara- in tne aoum ana eecapea =r?
