Ernest Rodriguez' "Impressions," 1960s-1980s

To anyone familiar with his ultra-conservative "makeup" he was "predestined to bring forth a preconceived document" critical of the Kerner report. I venture to say he plunged into the Kerner report with an uncontrolable yen to ferret out descrepencies and having found none invented them. When a way of life of "jealously quarded customs, faiths, ambitions and preferences of association" manifests itself in discriminatory practices which livit the educational and job opportunities and freedom of residence of the Negro to his social and economic disadvantage and relegates him to a debasing caste status then science and common knowledge" tells us that it is humanly and morally right to change that way of life. Thus the Derner commission did not recommend-- in Alexander's inverse language -- "to accomodate" the Negro minority but to include the Negro sans racial bias in the national social structure of the land of opportunity. 
In Alexander' concluding paragraph he adds insult to injury by throwing a blanket over all Negroes saying "the Negro must change if his to live happily in America invironment. Evidently he had the Negro rioter not [?] to disassociate in his mind the from the negro majority and he nullifies the whole of his critical analysis.
