Gallagher then answeredthe question: Why do Negroesriot in their own areasand, therefore destroy theirhomes and businesses? He beganby relating a story of afactory worker who was firedfrom his job. "He comes homeand beats his wife, doesn't he?He doesn't try to shoot hisforeman," Dr. Gallagher remarked.It is a manifestation of "ingroupviolence," he continued.He cited the fact that aggravatedassault cases are morepredominant among Negroes,yet the murder rate is higheramong whites.Dr. Gallagher declared thatthe rioting has evinced twoforms of resentment. On theone hand, the lower class ofNegro is alarmed by the wayin which his middle class counterpartshave taken advantageof civil rights legislation.As of now the poorer blacksare unable to do so. Thus, althoughsome "soul brother"signs did prevent looting andburning, the lower class demonstratedits resentment forthe middle class.The riots also showed theblacks' resentment for thewhites. Dr. Gallagher relateda slave story to demonstratethis contention. During slaverythe Negroes were not allowedto speak to their owners.Therefore, they came topractice what was known as"talking at the big gate."On Saturday evenings whilethe plantation owner sippedhis mint juleps on the verandah,the slaves would congregateby the big gate. Therethey would speak in loud tonesairing their grievances. Theowner would hear these conversationsbut whether hewould do anything to rectify•the situation was debatable,Dr. Gallagher said.The riots display a similarform of communication butwhat the Negro says is oftenincoherent. After walkingthrough a riot torn area Dr.Gallagher said that young Negroeswould Say "We've reallyshown them now!" Yet Dr. Gallagherasked us what had theyshown?The implication of the riotingis clear. Dr. Gallagherstated that the powers that becould rectify the situation andameliorate the Negroes plight,and furthermore, unless theydo so then they Share theblame for the destruction.The preceding has beenmerely the recording of a fewmiles of Dr. Gallagher's conversation.TOM KINNEY'SHornell, NYt Sportsman Frank GlfTord \ 'J has the right idea about leisures \a Jantzen sweater of smartly styled *wo-p!y Shetland woof?j^Thls classic cardigan fills the billfrom flresiding to golf and back again.]Complete color chartThe Success cardigan, S-XL,SportswbAn rem sportsmsn(jantzeiijFrom $12.00
