1988 has not been the great
year Run-DMC expected it to
be. Sure the group sold a million
copies of its ~Tougher Than

leased the movie of the same
name. But selling only a million
LPs is a failure for rapTs so-

Our leaders need to come from among the unsung heroes
One of my favorite newspapers ran a letter to
the editor by a James E. Barnett that sounded a lot
like my column (~~The Black Leadership Syn-
dromeTT) that appeared on the same editorial
pages the following week.
~~Black leaders need to stop meeting and telling
us what we
Cnn 3a
| Tony
know.
The sad
Brown thing about
any one of
us at the
prassroots
level puts
together a
: program that would bring about self-help, we
would not get 10 pastors or five of the people who
make up the North Carolina Black Political
Caucus to support it,TT BarnettTs letter explained
in The Charlotte Post.
~If anyone of us gets up and tries to do
something, we are given no support by most of
those who call for self-help,TT he added.
BarnettTs remarks were precipitated by a recent
meeting in Charlotte of the North Carolina Black
Legislative Caucus, an organization of elected of.-
ficials that Barnett called the ~~PoliticalTT Caucus.
A Post article had previously criticized the group's
lack of a specific agenda and ~~bickering.?T
~~When we cut through the dense haze of black
leadership .rhetoric, do we find anything being
done? Not likely,TT Post editor Jalyne Strong
wrote in her column.
I know the feeling. ITve been promoting Buy
Freedom, an economic self-help campaign to keep
50 percent of our $230 billion in black hands, for
the last three years. With few exceptions, blacks in
leadership positions have been indifferent and
polite, but have avoided being of any substantial
help.
And, as Barnett points out, they are the very
ones who say we should help one another, But
please donTt think this is a case of sour grapes. |
never expected them to live up to their rhetoric,
therefore I. do not share BarnettTs frustration or
ITve learned to be more selective. Some blacks
are simply insincere. But those with a commitment
are real jewels. Which leads me to a young lawyer
in Wilmington, North Carolina, named Peter
Grear.
When we started Buy Freedom three years ago,
Peter Grear came to my attention because he was
spending his own money to buy advertising in The
Wilmington Journal to solicit help for the cam-
paign. He now heads our North Carolina Buy
Fréedom campaign.
Grear is also chairman of the North Carolina
Black Leadership Caucus " not to be confused
with the aforementioned ~~LegislativeTT Caucus
that BarnettTs letter referred to. And, through the
considerable influence of Grear and his member-
ship, both the North Carolina Democratic Party
and the Republican Party have endorsed the Buy
Freedom philosophy of circulating more money in
black hands.
When we produced our first Buy Freedom mo-
tion picture (~~The White GirlTT), it was Peter
Grear who made it possible for hundreds of North
Carolinians to get jobs as extras and others to
secure Speaking parts and technical jobs.
In Wilmington, Grear and the Buy Fredom
businesses have created a Buy Freedom Scholar-
ship Fund to assist underprivileged students.
| donTt want this to sound like a eulogy, but |
hope we don't throw out the baby with the bath
water. While many (too many) black organiza-
tions and leaders are rhetorical gymnasts, Peter
Grear and the North, Carolina Black Leadership
Caucus (leaders who do not necessarily hold of-
fice) are not.
So far, the Pete Grears, the AKA's, the Deltas,
the 100 Black Men of Atlanta, Meharry Medical
College, the Business and Professional WomenTs
Clubs, Norfolk Community Hospital, the Black
MBA's, etc. " and many other grassroots groups
" have raised over $600,000 utilizing our first Buy
Freedom motion picture.
In my opinion the leaders are only as good as
the followers. The kind of leaders we need can on-
ly come from the unsung heroes like Peter Grear
" those whose rhetoric is matched by commit-
ment.

CHRISTMAS POTPOURRI
1. Christmas is a Christian
Holiday that celebrates the birth
of Jesus Christ.
2. The story of Christmas
comes chiefly from the Gospels of
Saint Luke and Saint Matthew in
the New Testament. According to
Luke, an angel appeared to
shepherds outside the town of
Bethlehem and told them of
JesusT birth. Matthew tells how
the wise man, called Magi,
followed a bright start that led
them to Jesus.
3. The word Xmas _ is
sometimes used instead of
Christmas. This tradition began
in the early Christian Church. In
Greek, X is the first letter of
ChristTs name. It was prequent-
ly used as a holy symbol.
4. Eggnog is a popular
Christmas beverage in many
homes.
5. Christmas carolers provide
holiday entertainment in many
public places.
6. During the Christmas
season, many churches display a
~CrecheT (nativity scene). It
shows figures of Mary and
Joseph praying over the infant
Jesus in the stable. Figures of the
Magi, Angels, Shepherds, and
various animals surround the ho-
ly family.
7. A visit with Santa is a
Christmas treat for children
throughout the world. In many
department stores, youngsters
wait in line to tell Santa what
presents they would like for
Christmas.
8. The traditional colors of
Christmas are green and red.
Green represents the conti-

"nuance of life through the winter
and the Christian belief in eternal
life through Christ. Red sym-
bolizes the blood that Jesus shed
at his. crucifixion. Christmas
decorations that feature these
colors include the Christmas
Tree, the Christmas Wreath, Hol-
ly, and Mistletoe.
9. In the United States, a star
is mounted on top of many
Christmas trees and others
Christmas displays. It represents
the star that led the wise men to
the stable in Bethlehem where
Jesus was born.
10. The Christmas Wreath, like
the evergreens used as
Christmas Trees, symbolizes the
strength of life overcoming the
forces of winter.
11. The pointed Holly leaves
supposedly resembles the crown
of thorns that Jesus wore when he
was crucified. The red berries
symbolize the drops of blood he
shed.
12. The ~~mistletoeTT, an
evergreen plant with dark leaves
and shiny white berries, is con-
sidered the plant sacred.
13. Christmas carols, original-
ly considered hymns, were com-
posed in the 1800Ts. They include
oO Little Town of BethlehemTT,
oHark! The Herald Angels Sing?T,
oSilent NightT.
14. Popular nonreligious carols
include ~~Jingle BellsTT and
oWhite ChristmasTT.
15. The poem, ~~A visit from St.
Nicholas?T is read aloud in many
homes. ~~A Christmas CarolTT by
Charles Dickens is one of the
most famous tales ever written.
16. Several musical produc-
tions are also Christmas tradi-
tions. They include ~~The Nut-
crackerTT, a ballet by Peter Ilich
Tchaikovsky of Russia, and
~o~Amahl and the Night VisitorsT,
an opera by Gian Carlo Manotti
of Italy.
17. HandelTs ~~Messiah?T is one
of the most popular works in
music and it is usually sung ata
Christmas Church Service for it
is a sacred anthem.
18. The names of the three
kings of Orient who brought gifts
to Baby Jesus are Gaspar,
Melchoir, and Balthazar. The
gifts were Gold, Frankingense,
and Myrrh.
greatest love of all was born in a -
lowly manger. _
20. There can be no love of God
which is unattended with love for
man. The final test of a Christian
life is not the worship by God, but
always the love of man for man.
21. Clement Clarke Moore
wrote oTwas The Night Before
Christmas?. The poemTs proper
title is ~A Visit from St. NicholasT.
22. SantaTs eight reindeer
names are Dasher, Dancer,
Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid,
Donder and Blitzen.
23. The last line of ~o~A Visit
from St. Nicholas? is oHappy
Christmas To All, and To All a
Good-Night!?T
Merry Christmas!
FRIENDSHIPS: HANDLE
WITH CARE...
There are so many fine people
in Greenville/Pitt County, I
think. Mr. Matthew Lewis who
never likes a compliment or he
shies away from praise, but he
never, seemingly, gets upset, and
he never says any negative words
about anyone. He is at his post
each Sunday morning at
Sycamore Hill Baptist Church
and on time. All of us admire and
respect you, Mr. Lewis.
There is my beautician, Mrs.
Bessie Simpson"quiet, calm, an
unusually good listener, and she
guards her lips carefully.
Mr. George Davies, a
newcomer in our city. What he is
shows on his face and in his ac-
tions and deeds. He is the essence
of the ~~perfectT?T gentleman.
Who could ever forget the
Christian gentleman, Mr. Wade
Johnson, Pitt County SchoolTs
substance abuse educator, an
upright man, full of integrity,
with values and morals. The job
fits the man. Congratulations!
I admire the strength and
courage of our mayor, Mr. Ed
Carter.
Many of our youngsters would
do themselves a favor if theyTd
follow the example of Derek
Dickens. That young man is go-
ing places.
Surely there are many more
fine folks. LetTs talk about others

Holiday gifts become holiday
treasures when the gifts are
created by you. Making your own
holiday gifts does not have to be
difficult or expensive. In fact,
with a little creativity and the
oright package,T youTll easily
capture the Christmas spirit.
Here are a few ideas to make
your holiday gifts the merriest of
all:
*Use votives for more than
candles. Fill them with the red
and green holiday candlies, and
you've got a perfect gift for a
child.
*Fill an ice bucket with ice and
a bottle of wine. Surround the
wine bottle with pine sprigs and
secure them with a bright red
bow.
Include stemware and a platter
of cheese and fruit. Coordinate
with the ice bucket by using mat-
ching goblets and server, and you
have the ideal gift for your
favorite couple or family!
*Persent homebaked goodies in
special holiday containers, such
as crystal pine trees, crystal
snowmen or crystal bells. When
filled with layers of red and green
candies, or homemade cookies,
these make thoughtful and tasty
gifts.
Decorative platters, are also
perfect for presenting traditional
holiday baked goods"and they
make wonderful keepsakes!

Catalog shopping is becoming

alleviate some of the stress often

Procrastinating gift-givers are

Twas the day after Christmas
and all through the condo not a
creature was Stirring, not even
ole cat Bondo.
The children were sacked, and
snuggled in bed with visions of
robots and bicycles red.
Mom in the love seat and I on
the couch were resting our bodies
and heads, crying ouch!
When all of a sudden up stairs
rose a Clatter, we sprang from
Our seats to see what was the
matter.
Tony and Tim turned the toys
on With Ryan, hers wouldnTt
work, so Marissa was cryinT
The toys once nifty, humorous
and fun, were squeaking and
squawking and some didnTt run.
Away to the chimney like a
rocket I flew, and looked for the
stocking the one that said Lou.
I hopped over transformers, a
robot named Shorty, searching
my stocking for my multi-
purpose oil.
The wheels were all shrieking,
the gears were all stuck, the toys
that were talking had all run
amuck.
The starship from Gluddos that
was supposed to fly, its engines
were sputtering and choking to
die.
A dinosaurTs legs and arms on

ing and starting to smoke.

ers should have designated drivers
in order to drive his or her com-
panions to and from their destina-
tion safely.
oWe want this holiday season
to be an enjoyable time for
everyone, a time that is free of
alcohol and drug related ac-
cidents on our highways,? the
governor said. oI applaud the
team effort being put forth by
everyone involved in the
designated driver program.?T
The program is being coor-
dinated by the GovernorTs
Highway Safety Program, the
GovernorTs Highway Safety Com-
mission, the N. C. Restaurant
Association and the N. C.
Association of Broadcasters.
The purpose of the designated
driver program jis to get alcohol
and drug impaired drivers off the
highways. Last year, more than
half of all traffic fatalies involv-
ed drivers who were impaired by
alcohol or some other drug. In all,
some 655 people were killed and
19,000 more were seriously in-
jured by such accidents in North
Carolina.
Officials at the GovernorTs
Highway Safety Program and the
GovernorTs Highway Safety Com-
mission said the designated
driver program will save lives if
used consistently. Governor Mar-
tin strongly supported the pro-
gram last year, and reaffirmed
his commitment to it as this
yearTs holiday season gets into
full swing.

New columnist offers what she terms new solutions _
Dr. Lenora Fulani was a presidential candidate in 1988 and was the first woman ever to appear on ballots in all $0
states. She will be a featured columnist in the Iredell County/Piedmont News every week.
I became a psychologist because I wanted to
find a cure for the humiliation and the pain bred
by the murderous disrespect that our people en-
dure day in and day out.
I became a political activist because I Pa

New
Solutions
Dr. Lenora
is also our Fylani
fault. It
That doesnTt mean we canTt do anything about
our self-esteem. But it doesnTt come from our
heads " it comes from our activity " what we do.
What I am saying is that how much esteem, how
much respect we have for ourselves, is connected
to how we relate to the world. Self-esteem comes
from our willingness to speak out, to stand up for
what is right and what is righteous. |
I became a political activist because I realized
that in order to help our people I had to change
not their minds " how they think and feel " but
the conditions which create black peopleTs
degredation, their humiliation and self-hatred.
And I became a builder of the independent
political movement because I believe that a fun-
damental impediment to our self-esteem and our
empowerment is our dependence on a political
party " the Democratic Party " that has taken us
for granted for fifty years while giving us nothing
in return.
We saw that disrespect in action during the
presidential election this year. And next year "
with important municipal races coming up in
Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Jackson (Miss.),..
and New York City " we will get another look at
how much ~o~esteemTT the Democratic Party has for
the African-American people. New York City is a
case in point.
Two days after New York CityTs African-
American electorate gave the Democrats one of:
T their few election day victories, Mayor Ed Koch "
the leader of the Democratic Party in New York
City " once again showed his true colors: he toldT
Reverend Jesse Jackson to keep out of the 1989
mayoral race here. Koch wants us to know that he °
doesnTt have to give the black community or our
leaders any respect; his message to us is that the
black vote is owned by the Democratic Party
Unlike Ed Koch, I welcome Reverend Jackson's
presence in the mayoral race. I welcome not Jesse
the Democrat, but Jesse the black leader; not Jesse -
the advance man for Michael Dukakis, and not
Jesse the loyal opposition to the right wing who |
rushed to shake hands with George Bush, but
Jesse the spokesperson for the black agenda whom .
seven and a half million people passionately sup-
ported in the Democratic Party primaries. I look
forward to hearing his voice in the growing.
dialogue that is taking place in our community on
the all-important issues of independent politics.
Very soon the Democratic Party establishment, ..
white and black, in cities across the country is go-
ing to start giving us the business, just like they did
in the presidential election: give your votes to the
Democrats, theyTll say, and you'll be rewarded
later. Well, it wasnTt in our interests to vote for the
phony opposition to the right wing then, and it
wonTt be in our interests to fall for this line when
they try to ram a Dukakis clone down our throats:.::

STRESS REDUCTION TIPS
Stress can be good for you, get-

bad, perhaps making you ill.

Often. people under
stress have unrealistic ex-

and others.
1. Learn to oshut-off? self-
defeating or negative self-talks.
Many over-achievers feel that
unless they take on more tasks
and responsibilities, theyTre not

2. Listen to your feelings of
anger, anxiety and depression.
Try to recognize their sources
and take steps to eliminate them.
3. Set realistic goals for
yourself, If you recognize you can
only complete five tasks in one
day, donTt expect to complete ten.
4. Be pleased with ac-
complishing your goals, and
recognize that sometimes you
will fail.
5. Find humor in a situation.
Laughter can greatly alleviate
stress.
6. Try to place things in

*Keep your fuel tank full. This
helps avoid water condensation.
*Look for the busiest service
station around from which to buy
gas. ItTs more likely to have the
freshest gas. Such stations refill
their underground tanks more
often which reduces the chance of
water condensation getting into

*Add a bottle of gas line an-
tifreeze to every ten gallons of
gasoline when the temperature

actually blends with water to pre-

quality gas line anti-freezes are

This is an excerpt from a
popular poem by The Last
Poets (recorded 1970) from their
first album by the same name.
Back in the days when poetry
like that was written, poetry
was also defined, refined and
performed right here in Harlem.
Poetry back then was the
voice of the revolution that
never happened and the places
where this poetry was created
and nurtured was like a
revolutionary fort. The
homebase of the Last Poets was
a place called The East Wind. It
was an L-shaped loft on East
125 St. Poetry workshops as
well as workshops in theater
and politics were offered at the
East Wind.

doned. On this note, I'd like to
commend those sisters and
brothers who have continued to
perpetuate our African values
in whatever physical space they
have been able to maintain. "

In many ways, othe Rap? is like Black
poetry with the major exception that
instead of workshops for Rap there is
the illusion of money
Poetry workshops arenTt
usually popular whether in
school or the community. Al-
though there are thousands who
write poetry, many are ~closet
poetsTT and donTt really have a
desire to share their work or de-
velop their talents. Poetry has
been too often looked upon as
the writings of a oreclusive
fewTT.
When revolutionary Black
poetry exploded on to the scene
in the mid Sixties, it was a voice
unheard, but mentioned in
poetry by poets like Paul
Laurence Dunbar, Langston
Hughes, Phyllis Wheatly and
Gwendolyn Brooks. The poetry
workshops that developed in
hvsetdarlem jin the Sixties and
Sevehtties were workshops dedi-
cated tothe promotion of this
oNew Voice? this loud poem,
this raw and bitter truth with-
out metaphor.
Poetry was no longer for the
tea rooms and beatnik parties.
Poetry for Blacks in Harlem
took on a different meaning.
Poetry was no longer to be
read silently without eye con-
tact. Now it was to be per-
formed, used like a weapon.
Poetry became bullets that
Black Panthers wore across
~their chest. Poetry became
dashikis and afros and African
names and African drums beat-
ing to the rhythm of oThe
Word?T.
In the Seventies and the
Eighties this movement con-
tinued. However, The Revolu-
tion was co-opted and all the
volutionary forts were aban-
SA RIC CRON RS ACR RR BIO RR RT Rea ateng te 4

for Rap ...
Blvd. .
There were other workshops
that have come and gone.
Poetry workshops arenTt nearly
as popular (they never were) as
Rap parties are. Rap has taken
over. The once strong Black
Poetry movement has been
watered down to a loud, pom-
pous Rap Movement or Rap
non-movement. Even though
many of us Old-Heads would
consider Rap a bastardization
of Black poetry, the fact still re-
mains that Rap is a powerfully
influential communicator
among young i people
everywhere, Black and white.
In many ways, othe Rap?T is
very much like Black poetry
with a major exception that in-
stead' of workshops for Rap
there is the illusion of money for
Rap. There are millions of kids
who look forward to becoming
the next famous Rap artist.
Unfortunately many of the
Rap artist aren't committed to
the same revolutionary values
that the poets before were.
It is imperative that the Rap
artist become responsible for
trying to bring about positive
change in the community.
Maybe Rap workshops are
needed.
It is this writer's opinion that
we need to get back to redefin-
ing who we are and what we
stand for. When we donTt define
ourselves, others will define us
and things will be defined for
us,
The re-establishment of
poetry workshops is a move in
the right direction.

Q@ What kinds of income are not sub-
ject to withholding?
A. Federal income tax is generally not
withheld from self-employment earn-
ings, alimony, interest, dividends, rent,
and capital gains.
@ How do I know if I must make
estimated tax payments?
A. You must make estimated tax pay-
ments if you think your tax for 1988
will be $500 or more and you. expect
that the total amount of income tax
that will be withheld from your 1988
income will be less than the smaller of:
1. 90% of the tax to be shown on your
1988 income tax return, or
2. 100% of the tax shown on your
1987 income tax return (if your
1987 return covered all 12 months
of the year).
Q. How do I pay estimated taxes?
A. You must use Form 1040-ES, Esti-
mated Tax for Individuals. Form
1040-ES contains instructions, a work-
sheet to figure your estimated tax, and
four payment-vouchers. Generally, you
must make your first estimated tax
payment by April 15 (April 17, 1989)
and the balance in three installments.
Q. I have a job and my boss takes out
withholding from my salary. I also
have some interest income. Do | still
have to make estimated tax payments?
A. Possibly. Depending upon the
amount of tax not paid through with-
holding and the amount of your inter-
est income, you may need to make
estimated tax payments, or you may
give your employer a new Form W-4
requesting that more tax be withheld
from as salary.
