"America Get up off your
whiteness.
"We're not going back to
Africa. If we don't get a piece
of the nation's pie, there isn't
going to be any pie," said Olive
Taylor, black history professor
from Howard University, at the
Centennial College Thursday.
About 100 students laughed
with Miss Taylor as she noted
insinuations about her black
history class at Howard
University. "I've been accused
of inciting revolution," she
said. "They say everybody who
closes down Howard University
came out of my class . . . which
is true. But, I didn't do it, I'm
only trying to get them to think
critically."
Exposure and interaction
between blacks and whites is
the answer to racism, she said.
"Blacks and whites have to
verbally battle out their ideas if
we're going to come to an
understanding."
She said that bussing
students to achieve an in
tegrated educational system is
one way to achieve exposure.
"But bussing is like putting a
bandaid over a wound. We first

"Let whites keep moving out
they'll get tired of moving,
there's only so much space,
and eventually they'll be living
next to a soul brother."
Miss Taylor is visiting the
University as a guest lecturer
for the "Negro in American
Society" class. She noted that
historically racism has
manifested itself in white at
tempts to justify the attitude
that blacks are inferior beings.
"We're much too
sophisticated today to say
blacks are mentally inferior,"
Miss Taylor contended. In
stead, the idea is expressed
through subtle innuendos.
She pointed out the Poor
People's March on Washington
as an example of whites' in
ability to identify with blacks.
"There are more poor whites
than poor blacks in this coun
try," she said. "But who came
to the Poor People's March?
Blacks. Why? Because poor
whites would be embarrassed
to associate with poor blacks
even for a cause that could
benefit them."
American scholarship has
proselytized white racism, she
said, citing such historians as
William Dunning who justified
white superiority by attempting
to prove the "innate inferiority
and peculiar anatomy of
blacks."

Because historians of the past
believed blacks to be naturally
rhythmic, inherently humorous,
childlike and possessing a
strange odor, they portrayed
blacks as almost inhuman, she
said.
This inhumaness, presented
without evidence, was their
sole justification for slavery,
she explained. "Slavery was

The greatest fear in post
Civil War America was that
there would be an
"Africanization of America."
In this respect, slavery was
said to be doing the nation a
service by keeping the numbers
of blacks in control.

obsession of white men "to
protect white womanhood," she
said. "Their real fear of slave
freedom was that a black man
would be free to marry a white
woman," Miss Taylor con
tinued. "Actually the women of the
South were not really being
protected from anything," Miss
Taylor quipped, "their lack of
rights only made them a part
of the slavery system."
