t is 43 years since Gunnar
Myrdal presented the citi-
zens of this great nation
the fruits of his years of schol-
arly research on the persis-
tence of racism in a land once
stained by a bloody civil war
over slavery.
Since that time, distin-
guished scholars, numerous
civic leaders, thousands of
classroom teachers, public offi-
cials, civil rights activists and
just plain kind, caring people
have worked and prayed for an
end or at least a diminution of
racial strife.
In the past few weeks, re-
ports of racial incidents have
been especially bothersome. At
the Citadel, the four-year mili-
tary college in Charleston,
S.C., five white cadets simulat-
ing Klansmen carried a burn-
ing paper cross into the bar-
racks of a black cadet and
taunted him.

The
penalized, but not expelled.
The black cadet left the bastion
of intolerance. A Citadel offi-
cial haltingly explained that
today's Citadel trainees were,
to use his own peculiar term,
"ignorant of the civil rights
movement."
No child is born a bigot, but
every bigot was once a child," it
has been said.
On, a number of college cam-
puses, anti-apartheid students
have clashed with schoolmates
backing the South African
government, with deplorable
results.
"The mind of a bigot may be
compared with the pupil of the
eye," Dr. Oliver Wendell
Holmes reasoned, The more
light you pour on it, the more it
contracts."
In Philadelphia and other
large American cities, blacks
buying homes in so-called
white areas have watched
their dwellings put to the
torch. In Boston, a black U.S.
seaman was beaten severly
during shore leave, and new-
comers from Asia have been
threatened and assaulted.
"Prejudice is ill thinking
without warrant," said St.
Thomas Aquinas.
Conversely, in Jefferson
Parish, La., Harry Lee, a
Chinese-American perhaps
unaware that among the ear-
liest of U.S. harsh immigration
laws was the Chinese Exclu-
sion Law of 1878, is sheriff. Re-
cently he announced to the de-
light of most of the parish in-
habitants that his deputies
were under his order to stop
blacks seen in white neighbor-
hoods.
A slave dreams not only of
winning freedom but of the re-
solve some day to have a slave of
his own.
Robert E. Segal is a former
newspaper editor and director
of the Jewish community
relations councils of
Cincinnati and Boston.
And now we have the erup-
tion in the Howard Beach sec-
tion of Queens, N.Y. On the
night of Dec. 19 stretching into
the morning of Dec. 20 (when
the glad tidings of peace on
earth, good will to men were
inundating the airwaves), sev-
eral white teenagers, shortly
after leaving a party, learned
three black men were walking
on "their turf." With baseball
bats and a tree limb, the whites
did heavy physical damage;
and one black man, 23, was kil-
led by an auto as he fled on to
the Shore Parkway.
New York Mayor Ed Koch
referred to this tragedy as the
most horrendous incident of
violence in his nine years in
office and likened the attack to
the "kind of lynching party
that took place in the Deep
South." Mayor W.W. Godbold
of Brookhaven, Miss., retorted
that the trouble the South had
in the 1950s wouldn't have
happened "unless people like
Koch came down here and stir-
red things up." Godbold topped
off this analysis by referring to
Koch as "that Jew bastard."
Koch, with a nod to the holi-
day season, indicated he would
turn the other cheek. Soon
thereafter, the Mississippi
mayor said he had not intended
to slur all Jews and, for good
measure, added that "I have
some very good friends who are
Jewish."
Instead of thinking, he was
merely rearranging his prej-
udices.
As the German poet Johann
Friedrich Schiller wrote, "Hate
is a prolonged form of suicide."

Murphy Upbeat
About Peace
Jerusalem (JTA ► - U.S.
Assistant Secretary of State
Richard Murphy, winding up
a two-week tour of the Middle
East, said here last week that
he was "convinced" Israel,
Egypt and Jordan are serious
about advancing the peace
process, though they remain
at odds over how to go about
it.
Murphy briefed Prime Min-
ister Yitzhak Shamir on his
talks in Jordan and Egypt.
His stopover in Jerusalem
was his second since he came
to the region two weeks ago
on his first visit since
September.
He told reporters, "I am
returning to Washington con-
vinced of the seriousness of
purpose about advancing the
peace process here, in Jordan
and in Egypt." A spokesman
for Shamir said Murphy in-
formed the Prime Ministerr
that there was no change in
the basic disagreement
among the three countries
over how to revive the peace
process.
