^{page 133 note 1} This figure can be arrived at from statistics given in the 1968 White Paper,Old Houses Into New Homes, Cmnd.3602.See ‘Housing:Policies and Prospects’, Greve,Political Quarterly, Jan.‐Mar.1969.

^{page 133 note 2} Or for that matter pushed them out of the ghetto.It is not often realized that one of the major problems in race relations is that immigrants, especially Asians, may have extensive kinship obligations or may make special arrangements which mean that three or four households are dependent on one owner‐occupier.If an immigrant area is re‐ developed a council may in good faith rehouse the owner‐occupiers and their families (as the official residents of the housing) but may have no obligations at all to the other households made homeless.Thus an authority acting in all good faith may create an explosive situation when trying to provide decent housing for immigrants.This is one of the examples of situations where we have to make serious efforts to come to terms with cultural differences. To say that the immigrants will have to accept our way of doing things is to commit against themonce again the type of cultural aggression that characterized many well‐meant efforts in education, etc., in the colonies.

^{page 133 note 3} This is the course exemplified, for example, in To Sir With Love (Braithwaite), where a black teacher wins acceptance by being exceptionally courageous, intelligent, friendly, clean, etc.Whatever we may think of this approach, one thing is clear and that is that we whites cannot urge it on black people.Of course, black people should be saints, but one can only urge people to sanctity when making a serious, which among other things meansdangerous, effort at it oneself.You can tell a man to turn the other cheek if you are prepared to be crucified, but not if you are doing the slapping, even when pointing out that you are trying hard to reduce the frequency of the slaps.

^{page 134 note 1} The best book on the Black Muslims is Black Nationalism, by Essien‐Udom.A more journalistic account is given in Lomax When The Word Is Given (U.S.A.). See also the account of his interview with Mr Mohammed in Baldwin's essay, The Fire Next Time.

^{page 135 note 1} This is a thesis that many Black Power leaders will not accept, but it is clear that the developed world is coming to depend less in sheer economic terms on the Third World than it has in the past.Improved techniques cut down the quantity of raw materials needed and often these can be replaced altogether by artificial products.The amount of trade betweenthe developed countries is increasing in relation to the amount of their trade with the underdeveloped world.The expansionist dynamic of capitalism which once found its outlet incolonies, can now find an outlet in gigantic, technologically developed, military projects, such as MIRV and the moon landing.For all these reasons the straightforward exploitation of the third world countries may slow down, though the damage will have been done and the political and military domination will remain.

^{page 136 note 1} Every schoolboy knows by now that the immigrants take less per capita out of the welfare state than they put in it.This is because of the age structure of the immigrant population, i.e. they are mainly young and healthy married couples, with few old people.Reliance on this argument by liberals is extremely dangerous, quite simply because in a few years time it will no longer be true.The immigrants will become elderly. When their age structure approximates more cloeely to that of the population as a whole they may in factbegin to take more out of the welfare state because of their past exposure to certain diseases, or because of their lack of western education. While lies about immigrants coming to scrounge off the welfare state must be exposed, we must be quite honest in recognizing the cost of accepting the immigrants as human beings. When all is said and done it is likely to be less than the cost to the black countries of such white immigrants as the staff of the British East India Company or the traders who came to live off the slave states of Africa.

^{page 137 note 1} It may shock many people to see how far Martin Luther King accepted this thesis in his book,Chaos or Community?, written in 1967 when Stokeley Carmichael's movement was at its height.He differs from Carmichael only in dealing with the role of violent resistance, and with the usefulness of the slogan ‘Black Power’: cf.‘There is nothing essentially wrong with power. The problem is that in America power is unequally distributed. … In his struggle for racial justice, the Negro must seek to transform his condition of powerlessness into creative and positive power. … This self‐affirmation is the black man's need made compelling by the white man's crimes against him. This is positive and necessarypower for black people' (pp. 42, 43 and 48, Penguin edition).
