No city, town or hamlet in this country today is secure against lawlessness and daily more and more people appear dedicated to resolving their differences in bar baric fashion. While the streets of our great cities become battlefields for expressions of disagreement, politicians and educators rush to the public speaking platforms to enhance their po sitions, either for votes or more money. History will record that both have failed miserably. It’s been too long now since politicians went after the colored vote with no more than promises of more civil rights and better living conditions, while, in fact, providing only lip services and creating bigger and broader systems whereby funds which could be used for improving the lot of many underprivileged Americans are consumed in administrative costs and salaries. Educators, at the same time, have cried out again and again for more funds with which to perpetrate a system of “permissive education” through which most previous moral and social institutions have been discarded. The dignity of man is no more In our Great Society of affluent young people it’s almost a crime against nature and man to be over 30 years of age. The trend is for self-expression without restraint and be damned with the rights or feelings of others. Too many schools today are so involved with courses in “advanced toe nail clipping” they have no time for basic education or teaching respect for authority. Parents, too, have shunned much of their responsibilities in the education of young people and must also be held accountable for these drastic deviations from human rights. Why do we point the finger at the young people? We offer such facts as the deplorable Detroit riots, the uprising this week in Portland, the Newark situation and others as proof positive that our nation’s youth led the uprisings. True, adults also were involved but their numbers was much smaller and reports from Detroit indicate they were the fol lowers, not the leaders. Teenagers figured greatly in the Portland incidents last Sunday. The colored people of this land, if they are to gain the goals they seek, must also shoulder considerably more re sponsibility than has been shown in recent weeks. It’s dif ficult to believe their cries of hunger when the first places looted in Detroit were liquor stores, the second places were for guns and ammunition and thirdly came clothing. Not a natural sequence for hungry people. Too, it’s one thing for the sociologist and many other Americans to be dreamers and unrealistically attempt to place the blame for these riots on poverty and a chain of events started more than 100 years ago, but still another thing to be realistic and conclude that looting, robbery, murder and other such crimes will not bring about solutions. Equal rights and civil rights are closely related but kill ing, looting and destruction in violation of all rights is no way related to either civil rights or equal rights. These things we must learn first before any of the other problems facing this great nation can now be resolved. Our young people must also learn that all rights are not totally vested in them but, equal rights are for young and old alike. Gresham Outlook.
