We've Come A Long Way

REMEMBERING WHEN
GO BACK AND TAKE INVENTORY
BY SANDRA DUPREE BOYD

God has tremendously blessed
the Black race of this nation. He
has brought us from disgrace to
amazing grace.

But as a black race, a lot of us
seem to have forgotten just how
far we have come.

Some of us have even turned a
little white along the way. But go
back and take a look in the
mirror.

Our ancestors and forefathers
didn ~t go through beatings, rapes,
and killings for us to forget where
we ~ve come from. So we need to
go back occasionally and take
inventory of our lives, just as
businesses and the retail stores
do to see how much progress they
have made.

I ~ve taken the time to go back
and take inventory to the best of
my knowledge and ability on how
far the black race has come.

First of all we have come from:
Nigger to Colored. Colored to
Negro. Negro to Black. And now
we want to go from Black to
African-American.

I recently read a magazine ar-
ticle that states that our first
name was nigger. Our middle
name was boy or gal. And our
last name was John.

Need I say more on racism.

Secondly, we have gone
through: Slavery to Freedom.
Emancipation Proclamation to
the Declaration of Independence.
Declaration of Independence to
the Civil Rights Amendment and
Equal Rights. Cotton fields to fac-
tories. Schools to Universities.
Segregation to Intergration.
Mid "Wives to OB/GYN.
Woodstove to the microwave
oven. Mule and wagon to the

Debate over debates rages on

By PAUL DINUCCI
of the Potomac News ,

Gubernatorial candidates Lt.
Gov. L. Douglas Wilder and Re-
publican nominee J. Marshall
Coleman exchanged sharp criti-
cisms Thursday about their de-
bate schedules.

The heightened campaign hos-
tilities between the candidates
arrives in the wake of last week's
abandoned debate between Wil-
der and Coleman.

In Virginia Beach last week,

| Wilder refused to debate Cole-

man because he said Republican

| campaign workers had violated a
| pre-debate agreement prohibit-
' ing videotaping debates between

the candidates.
Wilder feared that Coleman,
Virginia's former attorney gen-

Ve peectae ada T tt ded Cb thaw 2 ae eR a ow clits cid beled nails odo to ca

eral, would use the videotape to
his disadvantage in campaign
commercials.

In a letter to Wilder dated
Thursday, Coleman said the
Democratic nominee was trying
to oduck the tough questions �
about his record.

oYour insistence on rebroad-
cast restrictions suggests to
many observers that you are re-
luctant to respond to questions
about your record before a mass
audience of Virginia voters, �

. Coleman said in the letter.

oThis is not the last time you
have canceled a scheduled joint
appearance in a fit of pique, and |
do not intend to permit such an
episode to occur again, � Cole-
man said.

Wilder, also in a letter dated
Thursday, had asked Coleman to
attend a scheduled debate be-
tween the two candidates at the
Fairfax County Chamber of
Commerce on Aug. 18.

Coleman, in lieu of all pre-
viously scheduled debates be-
tween the candidates, has chal-
lenged Wilder to two televised
debates in the fall.

Wilder, in a letter dated Thurs-
day to the Fairfax County Cham-
ber of Commerce, said Coleman

Constitutional Ignorance

BY: WALTER E. WILLIAMS

Congress has been rocked by
scandals; but, we have little
understanding of, much less a
desire to eliminate, the fun-
damental causes of the mess. At
the root of former House Speaker
Jim Wright Ts scandal, among
others, is a national contempt for
constitutional principles and
equality before the law.

A couple of months ago, I
received an exchange of letters
between a private citizen and
Rep. Augustus Hawkins, D-Calif.
Hawkins was asked to cite the

for candidates

had agreed not to film debates
and he expects him to honor that
agreement during the Fairfax de-
bate.

oBoth campaigns apoed to the

format and rules ... Mr. Coleman
changed his mind and now con-
tends that he will not agree to re-
strictions on the broadcast or re-
broadcast of debates, � Wilder
said. oI am confident that an
agreement can be reached to the
mutual satisfaction of all par-
ties. �

But agreement seems unlikely
in the Coleman camp.

To avoid future debate cancel-
lations, Coleman said he would
not rebroadcast the debates if

Wilder a to debate him
twice in the fall on television.

SPEAKING/ORATORY

It is advantageous that anyone
who prepares a speech to listen to
him or herself on tape. Voice will
be tempered down, enunciation
and pronunciation can be improv-
ed. To speak before a mirror is
necessary, too, for personality
and audience contact purposes. A
timer or a watch or clock to stay
within the time limit is a must
also.

William Raspberry Ts Tues-
day Ts article, ~Save the Boys. . .
Please ~ (Daily Reflector) stated
~that children unlucky enough to
be born into single-parent
households are, if not doomed, at

least at serious disadvantage;
that so much of what has gone
wrong in America, including the
frightening growth of the
poverty-stricken, crime-ridden
and black underclass,
can be traced to the disintegra-
tion of the family structure and
we can Tt rescue America Ts
families unless we make up our
minds to save the boys ~.

ANGER CAN KILL YOU.

Parents, teach your children
about birth, babies and sex
before they hear it from misin-
formed sources. Remember, too,
that a large portiion of your
child Ts understanding of sex and
love in marriage will come from
their viewing the relationship bet-
ween you and your spouse. If you
are unaffectionate with your
spouse- if your child never sees
you hug, kiss or hold hands with
each other "chances are that he
or she will grow up to be
undemonstrative and unaffe-
cionate adult. Set the right exam-
ple! A level headed approach to
sex from the early years will pro-
duce an adult able to handle his
or her sexuality wisely and
responsibly.

If a father treats his young
daughter with respect as a
fem.inine young woman - opening
doors for her, respecting her
privacy, treating her with love
and kindness "this is the type of
behavioir she will look for and ex-
spect in a man later on. If her
father does not show love and
fatherly affection and concern
toward her, she will have no stan-
dards by which to judge proper
masculine behavior.

Mothers, too, must exhibit the

traits to their sons "traits tt
they would like to see in th
future daughters-in-law.
One way to tell if your are
fat is to squeeze a fold on your ab- |
domen. It should be no thicker "
than your thumb for women or "
your little finger for men. 4
This summer we encourage the '
nation Ts youth to enjoy their time -
off and have fun, but be careful. |
Never drink and drive. Obey the ©
speed limit. Don Tt show off when
you are behind the wheel. :
Cliff and Claire Huxtable of "
~The Cosby Show ~ have an ~ideal T
family. In the Huxtable |
household, consistent rules
govern family relationships. Hus- "

band and wife lovingly cooperate,

yet each is free to be an in-

dividual. Each child feels that he
or she matters. And all problems
are solved before the last
commercial.

Wouldn Tt it be great if all
families functioned that way?
But real-life conflict is not so easi-
ly resolved. The home increas-
ingly has become a center of
discord and trouble. Child abuse,
spouse abuse, hidden crimes and
domestic violence, divorce, affect
both Christian and non-Christian
families. Too many homes are on
outpost of hell, instead of a parcel
of paradise.

When Christ is the center of the
life of each family member, he
can be Lord in the fammily. Rela-
tionships at home can be har-
monious as each person loves the
other with God Ts love. ~The
greatest thing that a father can

, do for his children is to love their

mother ~.

Why put off making your will?
Making a will offers two advan-
tages: It spares your family the
agony of months spent settling
your estate, and it ensures that
your decisions will be carried out
to the letter.

STRESS-FREE VACATION
TRAVEL {

The idea of the perfect vacation
is to leave all of your anxieties
behind and relax. But how many
of us arrange vacation travel to
include too many sightseeing
trips to crowded tourist traps that
require standing in long lines in
the heat? If you want to eliminate
as many travel-induced anxieties
as possible, follow these
guidelines as outlined by mental
health professionals.

Don Tt over schedule your vaca-
tion. Enjoy the luxury of wasting
time. Leave your frantic
schedule at home and don Tt try to
do too much sightseeing in any
one day.

Don Tt take too much luggage.
Keeping track of bags (and lugg-
ing them around) will only add
stress to your vacation.

Don Tt wait until the last minute
to pack. Avoid pretravel jitters
by organizing what you will take
at least a day before-hand.

Get plenty of rest the night
before your vacation begins and
include lots of good sleep while
traveling. Nothing helps
eliminate stress like a good
night Ts sleep.

Don Tt let rude salespeople,
waiting in lines or delayed flights
anger you. Save your energy for
sightseeing and don Tt let little an-
noyances ruin your trip.

If you have strong fears about
flying, discuss the need for mild

sedation with your physician

prior to the trip.

EXERCISE
If you are feeling guilty

q ~ing ten miles a day or following
| @ strict exercise program-

DON TT! Exercise can be fun and

_ easily integrated into your nor-

mal everyday lifestyle. Walking
is one the easiest forms of exer-
cise to participate in everyday.
By simply parking your car a lit-
tle further away from your office
or the mall, or just by walking
more and using your car less, you
are exercising. While you are
walking, pay close attention to
your posture keeping your
shoulders back and swinging
your arms back and forth. Dur-
ing your walk, smile and look
around taking in new sights,
sounds and smells. Make walking
a fun part of your day!

day activities and how they help

QUESTIONS: How common is
scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a curvature of the
spine that affects approximately
four percent of children between
ages 9 and 14. More girls are af-
fected than boys. Scoliosis can be
treated, and if detected early can
be controlled.

What causes the brittle bones
that older people get?

~Osteoporosis ~ literally means
bones thinning. It actually starts
at about age 35 when the body
begins taking away more bone
cells than it replaces. The process
speeds up with advancing years-
particularly in women after
menopause. It makes older peo-
ple susceptible to broken hips and
other fractures.

NUTRITION
In recent years, nutrition has
become a major focus in the lives

of many Americans, There have _

been thousands of books, maga-
zine articles, television programs
and commercials concerning
nutrition and diet. Yet, each one
of us must be aware that much of
this information may be conflict-
ing and prejudice. Many Ameri-
cans have made great strives
toward better health and health
and nutrition. There are proven
advantages to charging your life-
style towards better nutrition.
These include a thinner body,
more energy, lower blood pres-
sure, lower cholesterol levels, less
risk of heart disease, stroke and
some types of cancer There are
seven major guidelines that were
issued by the U.S. Departments
of Agriculture and Health and
Human Services:

1, Eat a variety of food.

2. Maintain a desirable weight.

3. Avoid too much fat, satu-
rated fat and cholesterol.

4. Eat foods with: adequate

. fiber and starch.

5. Avoid too much sugar.
6. Avoid too much salt.

DRUGS

What does Black History Month
have to do with drug usage?

Everything. It becomes clearer
and clearer that there is a rela-
tionship between cultural pride,
self-esteem and drug usage.

Last week, a panel of very dis-
tinguished Black doctors, includ-
ing Dr. Carl C. Bell, one of the
nation Ts leading psychiatrists and
director of the Community Mental
Health Council in Chicago, an-
nounced at the annual meeting of
the National Medical Association
that the poor health, mental as
well as physical, of Blacks is due
in part to low self-esteem.

Take illegal drugs, forexample.
Black Americans T drug usage is 30
percent higher than the popula-
tion as a whole.

If you accept the fact that hun-
dreds of years of psychological
damage from slavery, Jim Crow,

Blacks get instead is racial anxi-
ety.

This syndrome leads to suicide.
This suicide can be immediate a
gun to the head or sleeping pills;
or it can be gradual drug addic-
tion, for example.

People use drugs, drugs don Tt
use people. Drug abuse is not the
real problem; it Ts what therapists
call the presenting problem what
others see and recognize as inap-
propriate or destructive behavior.
Policy-makers have recognized
that anti-drug efforts must attack
the demand for, as well as the
supply of, drugs.

Therefore, it is really just com-
mon sense that a strong sense of
cultural identity may prevent
Blacks from being victims of drug
abuse.

A lack of pride in cultural heri-
tage leads to poor self-esteem
which predisposes one to drug
addiction. Conversely, pride in

cultural heritage is the basis of
pride in oneself and this feeling of
pride is the basis of a self-deter
mined decision to say ono � todrugs.

My movie, ~The White Girl, �
dealing with the same theme Black
self-hatred and drug addiction will
open in theaters during Black
History Month in February.

Our slogan: oIf you love your
self, you won Tt abuse yourself with
drugs. And Black History Mont!
is atime of year that youcan learn
tolove yourself. � T

For Black History Month, let's
remember: ~It Ts time we learne
to love ourselves.

are dying of poverty and repres-
sion under the brutal dictatorship
of Mobutu Sese Seko?

This past Sunday morning the
Abyssinian Baptist Church in
Harlem played host to the
Gevakin Choir, which is on an ex-
tensive tour of Black and white
Baptist churches throughout the
United States. The tour is spon-

ed by the American Baptist
~oreign Missionary Society. The
choir Ts name is derived from the
first letters of Gospel Evangelical

{ inshasa, the capital of Zaire.

The tour is part of a propagan-

a campaign by the regime of

lobutu Sese Seko designed 1)
convince the American people
that this brutal dictator and
friend of apartheid is a humane
and progressive African leader
who deserves our support and
respect. Nothing could be further
from the truth.

In 1961 Mobutu Sese Seko aid-
ed the CIA in its assassination of
the beloved Congolese in-

The American Baptist Foreign
Missionary Society, which is
sponsoring the tour, operates a
large number of missions in
Zaire. Unlike many of the US-
based churches there, the Socie-
ty has a reputation not only for
refusing to take a stand against
the atrocities committed by
Mobutu but for working hand in
glove with this murderer of
African people.

The explicitly political nature
of the Gevakin Choir tour became
evident during its appearance at
the 19th Street Baptist Church in
Washington, DC (whose pastor,
Reverend Moore, was recently
appointed US ambassador to the
southern African country of
Lesotho by President George
Bush). At that event Con-
gressman Mervyn Dymally
made a statement in support of
the Mobutu regime. Mr.
Dymally "Mobutu Ts best friend
on Capitol Hill "is an adamant
opponent of HR 1899, legislation

ment in the dismal human rights
situation there. So far 14 of the
CBC Ts 23 members have agreed
to co-sponsor the bill with Mr.
Dellums. But Mr. Dymally "
anxious to maintain his position
as the main broker between a cir-
cle of Black Los Angeles in-
vestors on the make and
members of the Zairian elite
looking to sell their country to the
highest bidders "doesn Tt want to

~ o ~When you get right down to it,
many of our problems can be
traced to poor self-esteem, � T said
Dr. John Chissell of Boston. ~ o ~We
live in an intensely racist society
that teaches us to hate
ourselves. �

Evidence? Blacks largely pre-
fer to go to a school that is con-

As a matter of fact, two Black

how much energy you use?

Both are important. But, the

Cheesecake is not a low-fat

CHILDHOOD FEARS
Childhood fears "of bugs, of the
dark, of being left alone " are a
normal part of child develop-
ment. In fact, certain fears are
characteristic of age and stage of

development.

For example: Birth to 1 year
old fears include: separation
from parents; loud noises such as
fire alarms, vacuum cleaners,
and sirens; strangers, and
heights. 2 year old fears include:
separation from parents, loud
noises, unfamiliar people,
flashing lights, changes in en-
vironment, doctors, dark rooms,

oand large objects such as heavy

equipment. 3 to 5 year old fears
include: darkness, monsters,
ghosts, animals, thunder and
lightning, being alone, getting
lost, injury to self and parents
and death.

Finding out the cause of the
fears is half the battle for
parents. Very young children,
however, do not have the words
to communicate what they are
afraid of. They just know
something is scary. Their
behavior will give you clues
about their fears.

For example: If your child is
expressing fear of separation
when you must leave him or her

THE ~M T VOICE-THURSDAY, AUGUST 3-WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1989-7

with a babysitter or at a day care
center, you can help in the follow-
ing ways:

1) Let your child know you will
be back (after school or work),
and be consistent in returning on
time.

2) Leave something of yours
with them. This way the child has
a reminder of you that is
available for reasurance. Also,
something of yours lets your child
know for sure that you will
return.

3) Help your child by talking
about all the fun things (s)he will
do each day while you ~re away.

BUGS AWAY!

Mosiquitoes, gnats and flies
can aggravate your child during
warm weather. If your child will
be playing outside, a little insect
repellent is a good way to keep
the bugs away. Don ~t go over-
board with the repellent by using
too much. If your child does get
bitten, apply a mixture of
lukewarm water and a few drops
of baking soda to the affected
area.

Bees can usually be found near
flower beds, bripe fruit, outdoor
garbage cans, and near people.
Bright colored clothing, cologne,
or scented lotions attract bees. It
is a good idea to have your child

and not the Old and New
Testaments? As long as God was
sending prophets to remind us of
our duties, there wasn Tt a need to

oprotect the written word.

Especially since most of it came
about through oral tradition.
When Jesus came, he verified the
portions of scripture which were
true. He also made it clear that
there was much to come after
him, that even what he brought
was incomplete. So it stands to
reason that what was revealed
before him was also incomplete
and vulnerable.

None can say with certainty
that Jesus wrote his Gospel.
General belief is he did write a
Gospel, which his disciples
followed and taught from. They
clustered close together after he
left them teaching in and near the
temple. They had a strong Jewish
following. This alone suggests
that the disciples taught the
oneness of god and did not place
Jesus on an equal footing with
god.

The disciples were instructed
by Jesus to teach only the
Israelites. The burden of teaching
and spreading God Ts word was
the responsibility of Abraham Ts
descendants. They had paid the
price for the privilege "they
knew how strongly God hated
pagan worship. In the pagan at-
mosphere of the Romans, the
teachings of Christ and all of his
miracles came into the hands of
the Gentiles. The Gentiles could
only comprehend the teachings of
Christ by comparing his
teachings to their pagan con-

When Jerusalem was
destroyed in 70 AD, many of
Jesus T followers were killed, and
much of their writings including
the Gospel of Jesus were lost or
destroyed with the city. This was
an unfortunate circumstance for
Christianity because T the
teachings of Christ had not yet
solidified into a true New Testa-
ment. However, the destruction
of Jerusalem caused many Jews
to flee into Arabia. There
amongst the Arab tribes they

There are three basic types of mortgage loans available to the consumer:
Federal Housing Administration, Veterans Administration and conventional.
Below is a brief explanation of each.

FHA Mortgage

An FHA mortgage loan is made by a lender and insured
by the Federal Housing Administration. A borrower pays
FHA a fee to insure the mortgage. Normally, this fee is
financed as part of the mortgage payment.

Two advantages of this type of mortgage can be a lower
interest rate and a lower down payment. Also, you have the
option to finance your closing costs. FHA loans can have
either a fixed or adjustable interest rate.

VA Mortgage
A VA mortgage loan is made by a lender to eligible military veterans. It is
guaranteed by the Veterans Administration. To determine eligibility, contact the

A conventional mortgage is not insured or guaranteed by a government agency.
It is available for all qualified borrowers at the market interest rate. The maximum
% loan-to-value ratio allowed is 95 percent, which means loans can be secured with
a 5 percent down payment. Loans secured with less than a 20 percent down
payment, however, require the borrower to purchase private mortgage insurance,
which protects the lender in the event the borrower defaults on the loan.

Several mortgage loan variations are available. The three most popular are the

head injuries in case of falls or

HEALTH TIP: SUMMER
COLDS AND EAR INFECTIONS

Colds and ear infections in the
summer should be cared for as
carefully as in the winter. Often,
because the weather is so warm,
parents may have a tendency to
let such conditions go untreated.
Early detection and treatment
are important to your child ~s
good health.

ties. Hawkins T constitutional in-
terpretation permits Congress
and the courts to do anything they

from saying: If a person wants
something that he cannot afford,
Congress shall take someone
else Ts earnings in order to pro-
vide it.

I don Tt want to single out
foodstamps or Rep. Hawkins for
special ridicule; it is just a con-
crete example of widespread ig-
norance and contempt for rule of

they expect to get something in
return. So long as we permit our
lawmakers to use their positions
to give certain Americans money
earned by other Americans and
grant special privileges, no mat-
ter how much we strengthen
ethics rules, we are going to have
corruption of public officials. The
only change we can expect is
greater efforts to avoid the app-
pearance of wrongdoing and get-
ting caught.

Charity is one of man Ts noblest
virtues. With America doing
about 85 percent of all world giv-
ing, we can rightfully be proud of
ourselves. ~Public charity ~ is a sin
which trashes both the concept
and spirit of true charity. After
all, charity is a voluntary act of

conscience, but what Congress
gives away is obtained through
threats, intimidation, and
coercion.

To my knowledge, only one
congressman saw government
largesse for what it is. Rep.
David Crockett, Democrat from
Tennessee who later died defen-
ding the Alamo, challenged Con-
gress T wish to assist the widow of
