That Alabama Mob
Anybody still wondering what happens when the indi
vidual loses himself in the clutches of mob hysteria?
If so, a quick glance at the situation in Alabama should j
be fairly convincing. How sickening can anything get when
such events occur in a nation that professes to be Christian,
that professes to be democratic? Or just what is that mob
there professing ? ;
We don’t know—unless it’s murder.
The majority of the persons that composed that mob
probably would be the first to be indignant at the idea of
subversion. But subversion it is that they are dealing in:
subversion of any faith in humanity and, a superficiality in
relation to the basic question of humanity, subversion of the
best interests of the United States in this troubled world.
Just how popular do these people, and most people,
think the United States is in the eyes of the rest of the
world? We have about one-half of the world against us on,
a question of ideologies. And for the other half of the
world, those countries now on our side and those countries
who could be termed “neutral”, just what does democracy
mean as expressed in our actions ?
For it isn’t the good things that are remembered about
us; all of our aid, which is necessary and humane, has not
bought us friends in all of the countries to whom we have
extended help. It’s the evil that occurs here that the rest
of the world sees.
The United States, and for that matter the white race,
is a minority in this world. The yellow race and the black
race far outnumber us, together or by themselves. And
oppression of the one, in our country, the Negro, is seen as
oppression of any minority. In their eyes, as public opinion
polls in many of those countries have shown, we—the United
States—are the tyrant, the war-mongers.
We see ourselves as a peace-loving nation. But we’re
kidding ourselves if we think that other nations see us in the
same light.
But, as said before, even so important a question as our
appearance in the sights of other nations fades before the
problem of the oppression of mankind. The entire “dark
world” is slowly awakening; desegregation will soon be a
world problem.
We’ve got a lot to think about, a lot of adjustments to
make. We’ve got to prove to the world that we really are
the democracy we claim to be; we’ve got to prove that dem
ocracy is a workable peace, both within our nation and with
our neighbors of the world.
