Other organizations which employ whites tend to feel that, as organizations, they are more mature and have conquered the fear that "whitey is trying to take over" when black and white are actually both working towards the same goals. Some, in this category, say that whites are a necessary evil in their groups and must be put up with until "they have worked themselves out of a job"--have trained a Negro replacement...

Restraint & Rejection. One irony of the program is that it brings out not only the fight against Whitey but the fight between the different generations of Negroes. Again and again, middle-aged and older Negroes sound the Uncle Tom-toms of caution and restraint (mother to S.N.C.C.-worker son: "You're endangering your daddy's job"), while the kids reject the older generation in toto ("We got to do it on our own; we can't take your word...
