SHERIFF















lam very cuss sea hocelhiy @
announce that my cable television
a oFulani!"which is broadcast

eekly on public access stations in
20 cities around the country"has
become the venue for the first pub-
lic dialogue between Minister Louis
Farrakhan, the leader of the Na-
tion of Islam, and an important
Jewish leader.

In a special two-part edition of
the oFulani!? show, Minister
Farrakhan and Dr. Fred Newman,
the Jewish activist whois the chief
strategist of the independent New
Alliance Party, held an
unprecedentedly frank and wide-
ranging dialogue on the subject of
Blacks and Jews. I host the show,
which was taped in New York City
on March: 29 and is scheduled for
national cablecast throughout the
month of April.

This program is a continuation of
a conversation which took place
between Minister Farrakhan, Dr.
Newman and myself during a pri-
vate meeting in Harlem in early
February, set up at my request. I
have stood up for Minister
Farrakhan against the seemingly
endless attacks on him and the
Nation of Islam by the white estab-
lishment, and I have worked with
Dr. Newman for 15 years in build-
ing the Black-led, multiracial New
Alliance Party, which I chair. I am
proud to have played a partin bring-
ing them together for the purpose
of beginning this important dia-
logue.

Dr. Newman has argued publicly
that Jews must welcome Minister
Farrakhan into their homes so that
they can discover for themselves
who heis. Dr. Newman, an outspo-
ken anti-Zionist who has been at-
tacked by the ADL as oa self-hating
Jew.? is now being denigrated by
Nat Hentoff, the liberal Jewish col-
umnist who writes for the Village
Voice, for making such overtures to
the leader of the Nation of Islam.

In the course of the dialogue the
Minister consistently distinguished
between ocommon Jews.? who he
said had obeen made tobe afraid? of
him, and powerful Jews oat the
top? whose interest are served by
maintaining the ochasm? between
the Black and Jewish communi-
ties.

Dr. Newman, noting that thecor-
porate-owned media are so biased
that Minister Farrakhan is never
asked what he thinks about anti-
Semitism in this country, asked

Stell the ruth. ou (Dr.
Recas are the bad Jew,T Iam

of us appearing together"maybe
the news will say the three mis-
fits,T the three stoogesT"whatever
they choose to name us. But what-
ever we are, letthe American people
judge us for what we are-after giv-
ing us a fair hearing. Andif govern-
ment and the ruling clique have
nothing to fear from the truth, then
let us speak and let the American
people judge.?

Stop the violence
television set for at least three
hours, E. Look at your childrenTs
report card,? concluded Jackson.
He said leaders should work along
with parents to form a bond to
save the children in the communi-
ties.

oYoung Americans, we have the

power pledge not to kill each other,.

Young American, you should love
each other not kill each other,?
said Jackson.

Rep. Milton F. "Toby" Fitch would
like to thank the voters of House
District No. 70 for their support an¢
confidence in the past and would
like: your continued support and

10-THE oM"-VOICE-WEEK ENDING APRIL 15. 1994

Ballot or T-]
the bullet ad

By Askia Muhammed
Part two in a series

In 1964, Brother Malcolm Xgave
us a brilliant political analysis in
which he proposed a then oradical?
concept... Black representation in
the U.S. Congress proportional to
their numbers in population. Af-
ter 28 years, it looked like the
American body-politic had ap-
proached electoral parity when the
Congressional Black Caucus
swelled from 26 members to 40-39
of 435 members of the House (8.97
percent) and one of 100 members
in the Senate (one percent).

The 1990 census, with its re-
distribution of seats from the in-
dustrial mid-west and eastern
states in the North, to the Sunbelt
States of the South provided the
back-drop for this onew? Black
political power. And with the Bush
administration in power, enforc-
ing the provisions of the Voting
Rights Act, at least there would be
no hint of oliberal bias,? in the
resulting redistribution.

Indeed, as re-appointment took
shape, Republicans were gleeful
at the prospect of carving new
Black majority seats, because it
meant that the numbers of Black
(read liberal) voters in some Dis-
tricts occupied by White Demo-
crats would be decreased, making
it easier for Republicans to win the
seats. New majority Black Dis-
tricts were defined in Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, North Caro-
lina and Texas.

The changes produced a 50 per-
cent increase in the ranks of the
CBC, and all of a sudden it looked
like Blacks would at least have [i
power and political respect on i
Capitol Hill. But,itappears,some [ig
Whites were unhappy (to say the [ig 4%
least) with the new Black power. . h
_ never mind that these new Con-
gress Members were brief-toting a
well educated Blacks with a total $
of more than 100 years of legisla-
tive and government service un-
der their belts before they were
sent to Congress, and not gun-
toting militants!

with other trials pending in the

That Whites would challenge
Black voting power comes as no
surprise, because Blacks appear
to be without any other sources of,
or courses to power. What Whites
have forgotten, because blacks
have failed to remind them, is the
other strategy implicit in Brother
MalcolmTs oBallots or Bullets?
speech of the early 1960s. At that
time, Black civil disobedience and
riots, were at an all time fever
