Hiding the truth
White academicians and histo-

truth about American history from
the people. They have printed
books omitting our contributions

savored racist theories, giving
them a wide platform and due con-

This ugly theory of Murray,
Herrnstein and their friends is
nothing less than an arrogant and
evil misuse of science and power.
Murray and Herrnstein are little
more than a couple of smart asses!
Their theory, along with other at-
tacks, was designed to give direc-
tion, form and substance to free-
floating White resentments and
keep the focus on White supremacy
as. fanned by special interest
groups.
Answer this
The only questions I have for
Drs. Murray and Herrnstein are,
if Blacks are so inferior, why are
you so afraid of us?
Any why; if Blacks are too stu-
pid to help themselves, would you
suggest removing help fromthem?
Seeing as how they can Tt help them-
selves, is the plan to allow them to
die, or perhaps as Dr. Murray sug-
gests, they become wards of the
state, a/k/a slaves? These theories
were used to sterilize poor and so-
called mentally impaired patients
and by extension, Blacks. |

P.T. Barnum filled his early circus
only with Black oddities, thus per-
petuating theories of racial inferi- .

He knew what he was doing, as
does Murray. Their purpose is to
maim psychologically. Provide a
scientific basis for racial hatred, to
inflict mental, spiritual and emo-
tional harm. To make Black people
the subjects of pseudo-scientific
study and ridicule.
Murray advocates an end to af-
firmative action in job hiring, and
an end to Head Start for Black
children, calling it a waste of time
and an end to government pro-
grams like Aid for Mothers with
Dependent Children. All of this he
maintains is a waste of time be-
cause Blacks are genetically infe-

them.

You risk eroding your retirement

inflation from money market re-

from the five percent return). Take

Claude Sawyer, Mt. Olive was
upgraded to a station Church hold-

a decisibe achievement for the
members.
A major accomplishment took
place in July 1988 when Church
members established the Angie
and Tonya Holley Kidney Fund to
help pay for transplanting a kid-
ney from a teenager to her ailing
twin sister. A committee chaired
by Janice Gibbs aided by the Wash-
ington Daily News and former staff
writer Jim Green was able to raise
over $11,000 for the Holley family.

Zion Church in New Bern, NC was
founded. St. Peters, established in
1864 by Bishop Varick believed
that any truly Christian Church
must be dedicated to Christian
mission and world evangelism. He
also believed that a Church which
lives for itself is not truly Chris-
tian.
The Mother Church is making

Mt. Olive will celebrate it Ts 100

= Black men distorted as ogres
in Susan Smith murder case
By Herb Boyd |
Special to the AmNews
I was at a friend Ts house when
Susan Smith reported that her kids
had been abducted by a Black man.
While listening to this teary-eyed
White woman from Union, S.C.,
recount what had happened, we
looked at each other and simulta-
neously uttered, oHere we go
again. ? Once more a Black man
was fingered as the culprit. Now,
even after it has been disclosed
that Smith was lying, it only fur-
ther confirms how easy and conve- "
nient it is to lay the blame on a
Black man, to make himthe scape-
goat, the malevolent bogeyman.
But her confession is not clem-
ency, nor does it provide us with
comfort.
Rev. Al Sharpton put the inci- .
dent in perspective last Saturday
at P.S. 175. oShe knew that if she
claimed a Black did it, they would
go with it, ? Sharpton asserted.
oThey talk about how she was crazy
and didn Tt know what she was
doing; well, she was sane enough
to say a Black man did it. You see,
all of us Blacks are suspect in
America. ?
Sadly, there isnothing new about
Susan Smith Ts criminal reflexes,
her Medea-like action. The annals
of American history are overflow-
ing with case after case of Black
men being falsely accused of mur-
der, rape and other crimes. Check
- out Ralph Ginzburg Ts o100 Years
of Lynching ? (Black Classic Press,
1988) and witness some of the al-
leged rape charges that led to the
death of Black men.
Remember the Scottsboro boys
of the 1930s? These nine African-
Americans, from ages 13-21, were
snatched from a freight train in
1931in Alabama and charged with
the gang rape of two White women.
Spared the chair
Despite questionable evidence,
they were tried, found guilty and
sentenced to the electric chair.
After several years of trials and
the dedicated work of the Commu-
nist Party and the NAACP, they
were spared the chair, but half of
them served long jail sentences.
Add to this the case of Willie
McGee, a Mississippi truck driver
whose White lover accused him of
rape in 1945 after her husband
discovered the affair. He was elec-
trocuted in 1951.
And there were other noted cases
of Black men begin unjustly
charged and convicted on the ba-
sis of flimsy evidence. The Tren-
ton Sixin 1948 were condemned to
death for allegedly murdering a
White man. They were sentenced
to terms of life imprisonment.
The Martinsville Seven of Vir-
ginia were convicted by all White
jury for allegedly raping a White
woman in 1949. Nationwide pro-
test were to no avail, and by 1951
all of them were executed.
Alittle over five years ago, there
was the Stuart affair in Boston. In
this incident, asin the Smith hoax,
a Black man was blamed in a
carjacking and the death of Carol
Stuart. It was later discovered that
Charles Stuart had killed his preg-
nant wife as they returned home
from child birth class.
Unlike the Smith episode, sev-
eral Black men were apprehénded
and one, Willie Bennett, charged
with the crime. Stuart eventually
committed suicide when his big lie
began to fall apart.
The Stuart and Smith charges
unraveled, but how many other
Black men are incarcerated or dead
because of the lies perpetrated by
White men and women? So long as
this society is able to keep a fresh
veneer on the stereotype of the
Black man as beast, monster and
ogre, We can expect to be hounded
and hunted as fall guys.
And aracistclimate that bristles
with a Bob Grant, a Charles
Murray and his infamous oBell
Curve, ? and the racist confessions
of David Milch, co-creator of the
popular TV show oNYPD Blue, ?
signals that things will get much
worse before they get better.

Encouraging moves
After an election, its customary
for political and community lead-
ers to assess election results and
figure out where to go next. This
year was no exception. African
American leaders around thecoun-
try are beginning to analyze what
the Republican victory means for
the Black community, what it
means for the Democratic Party
and what it means for the future of
Black participation in independent
License
requirements
for pesticides
Application of certain pesticides
requires licensing. Here are some
recorninendations for proper use
of pesticides in North Carolina.
The Environmental Protection
Agency, or EPA, classifies some
pesticides as orestricted use, ?
which means they can only be pur-
chased and used by certified/i-
censed applicatots or under their
direct supervision. Except for re-
stricted use pesticides,
horneowners may apply pesticides
to property they own or lease with-
out a license. However, according
to state law, anyone who applies
any pesticide on olands or proper-
ties of another ? in North Carolina
rnust have a pesticide applicator
licellse. The term oland, ? as de-
fined by law, includes all land and
water areas, all plants, animals,
portant to follow label directions
for use, storage and disposal. In-
formation on the label must be
approved by the EPA and is en-
forceable by law. Following label
directions helps to prevent inju-
ries to people, animals, plants and
the environment.
Take the steps to obtain the ap-
politics.
On November 21 in New York,
three weeks after conservative
Republican George Pataki was
elected governor, Black leaders
met at the Memorial Baptist
Church in Harlem, at the invita-
tion of Reverend Al Sharpton. at-
tended by some 50 Black leaders
from around the state, the meet-
ing included Democrats (among
them State Senator David Pater-
son) Republicans (among them
Hempstead mayor Jim Gardner)
and independents (among them
myself, now the chair of the Com-
mittee for a Unified Independent
Party and an activist in Indepen-
dence Fusion, New York Ts newest
ballot status party; along with at-
3 towaed Black unity ¢
torney Colin Moore, a leader of the
Freedom Party). The independent
option has come of age for the
Black community over the last
year; its inclusion in the most criti-
cal dialogue on strategies for our
empowerment is, in my opinion, a
significant development.
The participants at the Novem-
ber 21 meeting decided to organize
for a statewide Black political con-
vention to be held within the next
few months. The organizing com-
mittee, led by Reverend Sharpton,
includes Democrats, Republicans
and independents.
Reverend Sharpton and I agreed
at the meeting that it was critical
that the Black convention create
an environment in which diverse

Unfortunately, such an environ-

recently completed election sea-
son in New York; in certain Black
leadership circles it was effectively
open season on me. I was attacked
for being an independent (some-
thing our community desperately
needs), for a rking with whites
(something every Black leader
does); and for not being a oreal

was working for the white incum-

attacks.

General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade (GATT) by a vote of 288 to
146. The Senate will voted on the
bill December 1.
oThe World Trade Organization
will not take away sovereignty and
will open up trade in agricultural
industries, ? said Clayton. oI be-
lieve that the Uruguay Round is
significant in providing United
States T industries with the oppor-
tunity to expand into markets
which have traditionally shunned
U.S. products through high tariffs
and non-tariff barriers. ?
A tariff suspension bill, H.R.

oThe inclusion of the tariff sus-
pension bill translates into hun-
dreds of jobs for textile workers for
the citizens of North Carolina, ?
said Clayton. oThe concerns I had
regarding the textile, peanut and
tobacco industries were satisfac-
torily answered and I think this
legislation will be beneficial to
North Carolinians. ?
The GATT Trade Agreement will
reduce overall international trade
barriers including tariffs, imports
quotas, and export subsidies. The
agreement is not scheduled$o take
effect until July 1, 1995. 3
