Doers And Vndoers!
A critical time is at hand! The deTirvssion
that Is rmw upon the civr
lized world is no ordinary occurrence
and those who think su. are in for ft
rude awakening, The very foundation
of our social and economic order
is threatened, and nobody can tell
what a day. -may bring forth. The
Negro race is not a very powerful
force^tn shaping policies which must
guide the immediate future; the most
that the Negro can do, then, is to
watch the trend of affairs and strive
oi dy?Ht?tt< 1 just himself to these
perilous times. Negro leadership
has not even. yet realized that the
race is face to face, with a crisis unnarallelled
in the annals of mankind,
Negro leadership is not . addressing
itself to fundamentals, hut -for the
most part, to incidental. Hardly one
Negro in a thousand realizes that
the very survival of the Negro in this
country demands most scrioois
thought hv most serious men. In the
game of football it is sometimes easy
to make long gains in the middle of
the gridiron; hut as the goal posts are
approached, gains are moTe difficult.
Yardage is harder to make within
-Phc?frvt-^yiird liner-The-gafrrs?the
Negro has made in the economic
struggle-wore ma.de in mid-fields very
few Negroes realize that as we approach
the goal, the going is bound
to 1 >e harder. Teams have ' been
known "To gain 90 yards and then be
stopped within the five-yard line. We
hope this will not be true of the Nepro
race; hut unless our strategy is
readjusted we are a beaten people!
Ipsf , recently a white woman "Sat in
rt r,f ...u:*-? ??
- vvntit? women ana wepi
tie^aiise: impecunious white?women
were asking, to bo placed in positions
now hold by Negroes. Said this
white woman "Negro men are unemployed,
and are living upon the slight
wages earned by the Negro woman,
>nd wlu'ffthe lMwhvTftrity'wmnaTT'tgfc?s
the places of these Negro women,
.\?hat will the Negroes do?" The
.hing that disheartens one of serious
mind is how little this question of
'what will the Negroes do?" eon*erns
the average Negro leader!
The white woman may have wept
>ut of sympathy for the-" Negroes,
>ul she was weeping by her self.
Cerv few Negroes arc weeping. They
ire laughing'?*Tb#y-are not ready to
'ace the ugly fact that the race is
'itp against it"! Just ho^v Negro
eadership can bc jia complacent in
he farii of null ti eim-ndou ohollengr
s in itself a inarvel-a marvel perhaps
>f shame. The Urban League
wings forward the information that
he movement to displace- the Negro
vhenever and wherever possible is
lation-wide and .in almost-every sitlatiori
the Negro is unemployed out
.f all proportion to his numbers.
ru?
nit- iiium casual studint of economic
iffairs ought to see that in this sitmtion
is a threat not only to the Negro's
well-being hut to his survival
n this ...country. , Yet the Negro
aughs ar.d such mrtter as ti e hold,-our-job
gospel and the Double-duty
Dollar gospel are beneath the notice
if the so-called "Negro leader."
Such simple matters are for .pessimists
and kill-joys. lliev say.?Well
ve- are going to-see what happens.
Negroes are still degree-mad ancF
position-crazy, while the white man
h?.s waked up and is making a drive
for every job in sight! F'erhaps the
S'egro leader has some other way out;
put if he has, it is about time he was
showing it. Times are critical
whether we laugh or whether we
veep.
There are here and there thosie in
:ho humbler walks trying hard to
pelp matters. Some whites and some
Megroes .ace J.rying hard.lo majtc-thfi.

'very long the whole Negro race will

race becomes critninal and
j therefore will incur the sternest
J measures, of repression that an out|
raced and prejudiced public can de.
vise; that Negroes have no constitutional
right to work in the employ
,; of private persons who do not want
them7; that in?the last analysis the
.'so-called radical Negro is as helpless
Ja.s the humblest Negro in Dixie, when
I it comes to depending upon the white
, nian for employment; that nothing
matters s"0T much m Jobs in the^irspirations
of the Negro; that the Ne-?
gro race is almost hopelessly divid|;
i'd aniline itself because its leader,
ship is addreised to the classes whereas
the security of the masses is
threatened. There arc some who are
trying hard to face the ugly facts
and act accordingly! The Urban
League has come at last to a position
this column set forth three -vears!
ago. .The Urban League is trying to
meet the situation. Mr. Holsey in
his CMA movement is showing the
wav in Negro business.' Yet it must
be plain that unless the Gospel of
the Double-Duty Dollar is promulga?ted
to sustain the CMA program it
| canot avail. Unless the Negro tne^sses
are employed there can be no OMA
stores. This takes us back to the
Hold-Your-Job gospel. Then too. it
is almost useless for Mr. Holse/ and
"oTLers'Toda, jf there"are those who"
.undo! The Negro newspapers which
, play -up-white-black marriages, and
sofial escapades can undo more in a
day than the try-hard Negroes can
do in a month. For every account
that these papers carry of white-'
, black sex relations, the race will pay
] in Jobs. If the Negro newspaper
insists on publishing the black-white"
news which is an affront not only to
' decent Negroes but to the white em-'
.ptoyer-world, it is reasonable to supate
with .displacements. If the NcJgro
is bent on throwing his white,
black rail, the white man has a right
, to throw his "No-Negro-Need-ApI
ply" rail. These pseudo sensational
jWtfgru pafwrv fan uiulu IifO W in
| day than Mr. Holsey or the Urban
League can do in a year! Sooner or
j later constructive Negro agencies
[ must enter their protest against a
newspapers policy that means ultiI
mately the economic damnation' of
'the race. Just why these agencies
| are yet so indifferent to such vital
i matter is more than some can Under
Island. The Negro newspapers which
specialize in playing up white-black
love affairs are undoers and the sooner
the doers realize this fact the betjter.
