Court Interference. Nixon shrewdly made use of some black complaints when he denounced the "smug paternalism" of whites who assume that a black school is automatically inferior to a white one. That assumption, he said, "inescapably carries racist overtones." Black separatists, in fact, do favor having their own schools, and some others have become skeptical of integration as a panacea. But most blacks still want it, or at least demand a genuine choice in the matter (see EDUCATION). Marian Wright Edelman, director of the Washington Research Project, found Nixon's "appeal to black separatists' feelings" clever but irrelevant...
...jobs and housing and terrified in many cities by the specter of black crime. It is not fair to attribute all this only to white racism. Conscious and unconscious racism is indeed widespread and cancerous in the country. But in many cases white Americans are not so much racist as selfish or indifferent or trapped in circumstance and history as much as the blacks themselves.

...Emotionally, I'm sure Arthur is very pleased with this result," said former U.S. Davis Cup Captain Donald Dell, after a seven-nation committee in London banned racist South Africa from this year's Davis Cup competition.

"How far can you go in not supporting the Administration?" inquired Oregon Republican Mark Hatfield. "How many times can you vote...
...that most people are so lethargic on the issue of racism. I generally write far more personal plays than that and deal with my own fantasies. (It's sexually not my milicu.) I try to attack the audience and say, 'Why are you laughing at this? That's racist!' Speeches come out on that subject, and we don't hear anything. We just sit there screaming Right on. Damn few people are willing to take the risk of doing a funny, funky show on that subject. It's disarming and glib; those are not good qualities for a writer...
