Racial Prejudice

In some countries where racial prejudice is acute， violence has been taken for granted as a means of solving differences; and this is not even questioned. There are countries ___1___ the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by __2__ fire to cities and by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides， who would in other respects appear to be __3__ men， get up and calmly argue __4__ violence- ——as if it were a legitimate solution， like any other. What is really frightening， what really fills you __5__ despair， is the realization that when it comes to the crunch， we have made no actual progress __6__.

We have still not learnt that violence never __8__ a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror， the bloodshed and the suffering __9__ nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder __10_ hit us.

The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions __11__ are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised， mistrusted and even persecuted by their own __12__ because they advocate such apparently outrageous things __13__ law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were __14__， if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos， at improving living-standards and providing education and employment __15__ all， we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution.
