The Right Way I am a true patriot, but I was not always so. In being a good American, I did not realize that tolerance was essential. Because of their religion, | hated the Jews. Because of their color, I hated the Negro. When I progressed, I was clever; when they progressed, they were sly. I was ambitious, they were grasping. Even though I knew only a few representatives of each group, my prejudices against all of both groups were unshaken. But all this was before I saw that my way of thinking was contrary to the American way, that it was dangerous, that it is unjust to judge a race by a minority of its members, and, above all, that if I must hate a man, it should be for 'the evil in him, not for his country, color, or religion. If most of us were to think as I used to think, the ideal of liberty and justice for all will be betrayed. At least I have learned that for the well-being of myself, of my neighbors, and of my nation, I must not do that which, if everyone did it, would destroy society. SELMA Marcus
