The Way Out By Loren Miller (Specal to Crusader News Agency) ON THE WARPATH It isn’t modesty that prevents me from mentioning the fact that I once held a job as a sports writer, it’s the fear that somebody will turn back the pages of a certain newspaper and dig out the fact that I lost a good job for referring to Fritz Pol lard as a great piizefighter and to Howard Drew as one of our out standing' football players. The next week I was back on the police beat. Since that time my essays on sports have been strictly limited. But I think that the time has come for me to speak out again and throw caution to the winds. The recent ex ploits of Jesse Owens and Joe Louis demand it. There remains little doubt that Owens is the best sprinter in the business and that Louis is not chaippion simply because he hasn’t fought James Braddock. What I’m on the warpath about is the treat-: ment of these trumphs at the hands of the Brain Trusters who indict | columns for the Negro press. Dissenting Opinion The essence of the treatment is found in a recent column by Roy Wilkins, editor of the Crisis. Mr. Wilkins recently discovered that ath letes of this type are ambassadors of goodwill. “In a single afternoon”, he thrilled, “Jesse Orwens did more to advance the cause’ of race rela tions than a box-car of Du Boises.” There was more to the same effect. As the lawyers say, I want to enter my dissent. WiMns’ argument w based on the old notion that if you can prove to the whites that Negroes are not in ferior all will be peaches and cream down in nixie. He argues in effect that it is because of a belief in our j inferiority that we are lynched, | segregated and discriminated against Cart Before The Horse The cart is before the horse. Let ; sports commentators of this kind go their histories and learn that Ne groes were enslaved in America long before the theory of their inferiority was born. As slavery became more and more profitable in the South and subject to ever more bitter attacks from the North the theory of the inferiority was born to justify it. j Every conceivable argument was , seized on. The theory has been extended and kept alive since abolition because it fits .n with the present practice of keeping the Negro ti.d to the soil or at menial labor. And both of those things spell profits to a few Ameri cans. White workers partake of the nonsense because they have been i taught to believe that it is the Ne gro who keeps them poor. Down To Fundamentals It isn’t hard to see that if you de stroy the economic reasons for keep ing Negioes down you strike a body blow at the whole superstructure of inferiority theoAes. Side bf side j with this attack on the economics of our enslavement must go an attack on popular beliefs that we are less than human. But if you had a ma chine that was turning out imperfect products you wouldn’t waste all of your time on correcting each refec tive article; you would try to remedy the machine itself. That’s our case. I know dozens of Negroes who ex celled at sports. Most of them are having a pretty tough time making ends meet. And the students who fellow them at their schools are dis criminated against in the same old fashon. Eddie- Tolan was Michigan’s ace sprinter; Michigan turned right around and barred Willis Ward from the basketball team- Michigan is ] going to keep right on doing such things until the Negro people help destroy the foundations of the sys tem thrt holds them down.
