<*, Dr.' Carter \Vocdson, in a recent
release, advises the Negro to think
bt,ack. This= is- possible only t>o a
limited degree. The Negro' is- large- "
ly confined by the walls of his racial
prison house. His mind is inevitably
distriiuted between the in-_
ner and outer circle- An cjd pro-.
-1 ->vfcrb says that a double niirided man
is linkable in all* his ways. Every
minority group labors under handi' cap
of this disadvantage. In our
cosmopolitan " population, we haye
three fairly well defined minority
groups?the Catholics, the .Tew nftd__
the Negro. The Ku? KIux Klanavers
that no one of them can, hsL American
citizens, in the one hundred percent
meaning of that term. The Negro
is by far the nnd
proscribed, cf these three. Ho alone
is*.-shunted and set aside in iim-ernw
cars, separate schools and sc-gregat
ed residential and social areas.
Wherever the proscribed group?has
a peculiar culture at variance with
that of the "general body social,
where racial arrogance sets up a
color bar, the despised and repectv
oed element is, thrown back 'upon itself
for such consolation of hope or
, resolution of despair, as may be fens*
ible. A Catholic can hardly be elected
'President of the United States
unless his- Catholicism is diluted to the,
point - of n'Oglibilify. ^Tho vast. Pxo-_
=v? tostnnt majority rose up in protest
agrrnst-the candidacy of A1 Smith,
on the ground that his^ allegiance
would be 'divided between the church
and state. The Jew can hardly be
?"?ardent adt ut at? ol FTTs religious
traditions and be accepted ^in full
measure, as an American. He may
conceal his Semitism and he accepted
as an American, hut then only
with reservations. On the twenty
second of February the voice of Solomon
Bloom, a Jew, was heard on
the air extolling the religious demotion
of Ggorge Washingtn," ~rh"
the little church which he founded
at Powhic, Virginia, But hp- mmtvmillTons
of gentile Afericamrfchought
cf the artificiality of a -V6ice alien
in tradition and-culture-to1 those~of~
the extolled Father of his Country?
Bergenn, the philosopher, visited
America, not as Jr-*tew, hut as a philosopher,
and was received abd accepted
as such. Gn the other hand
when I first saw and heard< Albert
Einstein, he ..came to our short"5, ""fi?
as?the world's most famous" mathematician
and physicist, hut as a
delegate to the Zionist Movontent.
. 1--once heaid Ratrtrt" Wise say that
?_ __no^_Jew- could he made?president of"
an American- college. His; Semitic
bias effectively forlrids. ^Unlike the.
Catholic "and the Jew, the Negro is
bound to the body of his-race frcm

as circumstances will permit
him to be. But in whateer

true in politics, business, oducatioi
