Black Power is good in Chest8r, but bad in the ~ampus. The racism of the outer white society stops at the edge of college property~ because Swarthmore College, a small Co-educational LIBERAL liberal arts 11 miles southwest of Philadelphia, because the campus comrnunity is one big happy racial family~ How long can basically descent people lull th8mselves into the fragile and status quo "oomplacency of rosy-eyed sb.cchc..rino exist~nco, whe re everybody' is' suppoSed to be co1-or blind 'and , and unpre judiced?' , This fantasy world ,can never exist in a society that waS nutured on racism and in which it still runs rampant. Very few, if any, white people in contemporary America have or can elude the racist virus b e cause it is ," ubiquitous: cmd deep-seated. But there is one hope, there isa way to work ourseJves out of this sad dilemma -to faco the hard, cold, cruel reali ty of the racic~J cris is.Because tho vague and accusatory word racist· ", ~onnotes []D " otrert, virulent bigot clubbing poor def ensel e ss Negroes, whito liberals concerned with social justice, don't like to see the term bandied about. Doubtless, this is a typical Swarthmore reaction. Be'cause some of our best friends are white liberals, many SASS members are careful with their racial labels. Yet to many "Love me" liberals, the term white liberal itself must seem at times an epfthet. Whatever the label, all are members of the Master Race in a society in which the legitimllt~d belief in the inferiority of Blacks is deeply ingrained, and pervasive. Every white is not to blame for a racist America, but every white is in some degree responsible. , Thus to combat Smith an~ r~~BiS of Swarthmore Colle£A7 ~lle liberal Quaker school has a r8sponsible racism pn~ uqvance racial equality.

True illustrations may shecl light on. this point o In his Memoirs, Charles J.

Doubtless, this is a typical Swarthmore reaction. Be'cause some of our best friends are white liberals, many SASS members are careful with their racial labels. Yet to many "Love me" liberals, the term white liberal itself must seem at times an epfthet. Whatever the label, all are members of the Master Race in a society in which the legitimllt~d belief in the inferiority of Blacks is deeply ingrained, and pervasive. Every white is not to blame for a racist America, but every white is in some degree responsible. , Thus to combat Smith an~ r~~BiS of Swarthmore Colle£A7 ~lle liberal Quaker school has a r8sponsible racism pn~ uqvance racial equality.
