“Will it make the devil cry?” — My grandmother

In 1944, William Terry Couch, a “fair-minded, progressive Southerner,” who served as the director of the University of North Carolina Press, along with white “racial liberal” sociologist Guy Johnson, had an idea for a book outlining the concerns of Black America. He enlisted Rayford Logan, a brilliant Howard University history professor, to compile a series of essays called What the Negro Wants. The list of contributors featured the who’s who of Black thinkers, including poet Langston Hughes, W.E.B Du Bois—one of the founders of modern sociology—and labor organizer A. Philip Randolph, who forced the U.S. military to desegregate and later went on to organize a little event called the March on Washington.

When the white liberals saw the initial draft of essays, they thought it was outrageous. The list of demands was insane. They had written about full equality, desegregation and even civil rights! There was no way these were the people who represented Black America.

“I had been hoping that at least two or three of the 15 authors would raise the question of how far the negroes is responsible for his condition and deal with the problem of what negroes can now, regardless of what white people may do,” Couch wrote to Logan. “The things negroes are represented as wanting seem to be far removed from what they ought to want. Most of the things they are represented as wanting can be summarized in the phrase: complete abolition of segregation. If this is what the negro wants, nothing could be clearer than that what he needs, and needs most urgently, is to revise his wants.”

So to balance the book from these radical left-leaning negroes, they sought out a prominent, “conservative, inter-racial cooperation type,” and settled on Mary McLeod Bethune. A reformer who worked with President Franklin Roosevelt for Black economic equality, Bethune was not known for being vocal about segregation or the “separate but equal” policy. She agreed to contribute an essay about the violent protests against police brutality in Detroit and Harlem. She began her essay by calling out the “band of hoodlums” who “challenge law and order to burn and pillage and rob.” Then she explained why this thuggish violence was an American tradition, writing:

Just as the Colonists at the Boston Tea Party wanted out from under tyranny and oppression and taxation without representation, the Chinese want “out,” The Indians want “out,” and the colored Americans want out.

Throughout America today, many people are alarmed and bewildered by the manifestation of this world ferment among the Negro masses. We say we are living in a period of “racial tension”... The tension rises out of the growing internal pressure of Negro masses to break through the wall of restrictions which restrains them from full American citizenship. This mounting power is met by the unwillingness of white Americans to allow any appreciable breach in this wall.

G/O Media may get a commission

And just like that, the woman who had built an entire university from $1.50, the woman who created the “Black Cabinet” that came up with many ideas for the New Deal, the woman who saved the program that gave us the Tuskegee Airmen, the best friend of the president’s wife, just because she said racism existed, Mary McLeod Bethune became a communist.

Bethune’s name appeared in six reports in the House Committee on Un-American Activities and five times in Senate reports on people suspected of communist activity. While she was cleared of any involvement, the message was clear: Confronting racism and white supremacy is un-American.

This is why white people are my bellwether.

Whenever I am trying to decide whether or not a particular movement, policy or person benefits Black America, I wait and see what white people think. While that might sound racist, there has never been a movement, policy or person that benefitted Black America who was simultaneously embraced by white America. In this country, a stance against the trauma-inducing brickbat of whiteness is perceived as a stance against America. And anyone who disagrees can feel free to prove me wrong. Name one person who fought for Black liberation who white people agreed with.

Don’t worry; I’ll wait.

But while I’m waiting, I came up with a list of Black movements, people and ideas who were called anti-white, communist, Marxist or Un-American simply for wanting Black people to exist.

Anti-Lynching Movement
Why white people didn’t like it: It hurts white people. Plus, Black people be raping.
In 1938, during congressional debates against H.R. 1507, a bill outlawing the extrajudicial murder of Black people, Rep. Theodore Bilbo (D-Miss.) stated this about the “Prevention and Punishment For Lynching”:

Why is it now, after three-quarters of a century, at the instance of a few, politicians, a few negrophilists or Negro lovers, and a handful of mulatto Negro voters, that an attempt is made at this late date to cram down the throats of the South this insulting, undemocratic, and un-American piece of legislation?

...But I want to tell the advocates of the bill one thing: If you succeed in the passage of this bill, you will open the floodgates of hell in the South. Raping, mobbing, lynching, race riots, and crime will be increased a thousandfold; and upon your garments and the garments of those who are responsible for the passage of this measure will be the blood of the raped and outraged daughters of Dixie, as well as the blood of the perpetrators of these crimes that the red-blooded Anglo-Saxon white southern men will not tolerate.

Affirmative Action
Why white people didn’t like it: It was anti-white, communist and would take white people’s jobs.
Ronald Reagan won the presidency partly by stoking white fears that affirmative action was anti-white reverse racism, fighting it all the way to the Supreme Court. Donald Trump feels the same way. Jesse Helms called it a “gateway to communism” that hurt qualified white people.

Black Lives Matter
Why white people didn’t like it: It was racist, communist and Marxist because all lives matter.
Whenever anyone does anything that includes the word “Black,” it immediately falls under the classification of Marxist and anti-whiteness. White people hate being left out, even though they are acutely aware that there is nothing more valuable in the known universe than a white life. White people will slit a Black baby’s neck for a white woman’s life.

OK, maybe that’s a little harsh.

Let’s just say they will beat a Black baby to a bloody pulp, tie him to an industrial fan with barbed wire and toss his lifeless body off a bridge. Is that better?

But I understand why they vilify Black movements with Marxism.

White people don’t know what Marxism is.

The Black Panther Party
Why white people didn’t like it: It was scary. Also, the word “Black” is right there.
According to a 1970 Harris Poll, 64 percent of Black Americans had a favorable view of the Panthers, while 92 percent of white Americans had a negative view. It’s probably because a lot of members of the Black Panther were Marxists, which is different from communism. Basically, Marxism is a way to examine history, economics and societies through the lens of class, while communism is actually Marx’s economic and political theory in which...wait. For a second I started to believe that there was some logic to white supremacy.

White people hated the Panthers because they had guns and pushed for armed self-defense. For some reason, those America-hating negroes believed “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.”

I have no idea where they got that crazy idea from.

Black People Voting
Why white people don’t like it: States’ rights, something something, communism, something something it was a different time.
When Black people marched on Selma for voting rights, they were called “communists.” The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was called “Un-American.” Of course, the 2020 election was about “socialism” because so many Black people voted.

Southerners, conservatives and white people, in general, have never pushed for a single law to expand the electorate because they are the only true Americans.

Black Women
Why white people don’t like them: Because they are un-American, communist, anti-white and don’t keep their mouths shut.
Amelia Boynton. Callie Guy House. Ida B. Wells. Mary McLeod Bethune. Ilhan Omar. Rosa Parks. Ella Baker. Josephine Baker. Michelle, Sasha and Malia Obama. Nikole Hannah-Jones. Serena Williams. Young Black girls. Old Black women. Pregnant Black women. Babies who aren’t just born.

Critical Race Theory
Why white people didn’t like it: Because they don’t know what it is.
This one is easy.

The one thing that dumbfounds me about white supremacy is how much white people trust each other. They just trust the explanations for their fellow white people. In all this debate about CRT, I have yet to see one person who opposes CRT who can also explain what CRT is. And many of the legislators who are against funding K-12 teachers who absolutely do not teach CRT are already funding the leaders’ movement, such as Richard Delgado, the professor at state-supported Alabama Law School who wrote a little book called Critical Race Theory: An Introduction.

All they know is that it has the word “race” in it, so it must be bad.
