_ THE OSHAWA TIMES, § Thursdey, August 15, 1963 Integration Not Easy For White Southerner What ts it like to be a white southerner in the United States today, to be a man of reason who is rapped by his own instincts and past but who knows integration must come? Here is a composite portrait which provides a glimpse into a world caught in the sweep of profound change, By RELMAN MORIN }} ATLANTA, Ga, AP)--For some 70 years after the re- construction, every southerner was born into a segregated so- > jclety. '| He beathed segregation, It was his way of life, deeply » jrooted in his consciousness, '|Moreover, it was clothed in \ legality, In 1896, the doctrine of "separate but equal' was tested, and the U.S, Supreme Court held it to be constitu- tional. Some may have felt twinges of conscience, even so. In The South and the South. 'jerner, Ralph McGill, publisher of the Atlanta Constitution, has written "The more sensitive south. CANNING religion. "I had to do some re-thinking," the letter says, "Lt was very difficult but I believe I can say now that I have freed myself from those prejudices." i A southern woman comments on racial disturbances in a nearby city and says: "When the troubles started, I tried to imagine myself in the position of a Negro. I tried to see things from his point of view. Frankly, it was a shock, But it still seems to me that if I were a Negro, it would be better to try to elevate my own race, not lose myself in another race." This dovetails with the posi. tion of southerners who deny any prejudice toward the Negro but say, "race-mixing is not the answer to the problem. For both races, it is better to de. velop separately." GIVE THEM WORK One man said he is convinced that "idleness" is causing the Negro unrest, North and South. Negro- unemployment, nation- ally, is more than double the figure for the whites, He said, "T've lived all my life with Negroes and I know that when they're idle they tend to get im trouble. Give them something to do and you won't have all this trouble." In Tuskegee, Ala., Negro leaders say there are enough registered Negro voters now to elect Negroes to public office in the community, How are the whites reacting to this fact? "We don't know what to ex- pect what to look forward to," said a city councilman. An executive of the Tuskegee Civie Association, a Negro or- ganization, sald: "I think there are some white people who fee! of letters. Some are favorable, more are abusive. MUST OBEY Between the two poles of thought, you find these figures: There is the southerner who opposes integration, but be- lieves in law and order, Re. luctantly, he says the courts must be obeyed, There is the person who says: "We were all getting along fine until outsiders came in and stirred up the Negroes, If the outsiders would go away, the Negroes -would be perfectly happy again," This is akin to the vague, amorphous hope that, some- how, the racial problem will vanish of itself, or that it can be swept under the rug. Then there is the man who says that, since the Supreme Court reversed itself once on segregation, it may do so again sometime, He wants the 1954 ruling tested, again and again, For years, the South has been working aggressively to attract new industries, The business- man knows--possibly from ex- perience--that violence will dis- ? courage the driven for northern erner often is self-embarrassed| industry, So, although segrega- by a realization that he has|tiqnists. some advocate an ac: accepted unquestionably s0Me| commodation with Negro de- aspect of his community life| mands. voting rgd age , ve "a The situation for the southern " a te P college student often is similar he has met, and been.
