The Tyson fight: A TKO
for the Black community
By Dr. Lenora Fulani
There has been a lot of hype in
the New York media recently about
whether Harlem should have wel-
comed Mike Tyson home from
prison with a parade or the cold
shoulder.
Journalist and activist Jill
Nelson spearheaded the campaign
to shut down the Mike Tyson
ohomecoming. ? In the New York
Times on Saturday, June 17,
Nelson explained this position in
an article entitled, oNot Ready for
Redemption ? which protested the
use of the Black community oas a
backdrop to promote and celebrate
Mike Tyson. ? The problem with
Nelson Ts remarks and her cam-
paign is that it overlooks the fact
that the Black community is in-
deed the backdrop to Black men
coming home from prison every-
o
day "in many cases having cem-
mitted violent crimes, rape in-
cluded. They are not heavyweight
champion of the world. Nor are
they Malcolm X. They are just our
sons, fathers, husbands, brothers
and neighbors.
Whatever my feelings about
rape, in general, and the abuse of
Black women, in particular (and,
believe me, they are unequivocally
enraged), as a Black woman I am
not prepared to lay down condi-
tions under which a Black man "
any Black man "can be consid-
ered oredeemed ? and thereby eli-
gible for re-admittance to our com-
munity.
The issue is not Mike Tyson,
either. Tyson is one young Black
male with a lot more going for him
than most, in or out of prison. If he

It Ts time for the Black community
to draw some new lines
The U.S. Supreme Court deci-
sion on racial redistricting was a
political one. After several decades
in which oidentity ? politics has
shaped the political landscape, and
has gone hand-in-glove with the
growth of Big Government, a back-
lash against so-called ospecial in-
terests ? spurred the court Ts ruling.
Where does this leave the Black
community? For 25 years we have
pursued a strategy of getting more
Black elected officials in office,
pushing Black political represen-
tation as the key to our empower-
ment. Within the framework of
that strategy, the political / legal
pursuit of drawing district lines to
favor maximal Black representa-
tion was coherent. But from the
very start, in my opinion, this strat-
egy was seriously flawed. Since it
equated having Black voters elect-
ing Black officials with having
political power, it necessarily lim-
ited the scope of our influence. We
are still a minority of the Ameri-
can population. To impact more
broadly we, of course, have to par-
ticipate in coalitions with other
voters not just around issues, but
at the voting booth itself.
Those Black leaders who attack
coalitional politics on separatist
grounds or who insist that the
Black community has to oget itself
together first ? are usually disin-
genuous. Every Black leader and
every Black community relates
coalitionally to other groups, in-
cluding those who pretend not to.
It Ts simply a reality of American
political and economic life. The
question is not whether we should
engage in coalitional politics, but
who it is we Tre in a coalition with
and what.the terms are.
Since the strategy to increase
the number of Black elected offi-
cials first evolved in the early 1
970s, our singular political part-
nership has been with white liber-
als in the Democratic Party, who
saw great political benefit to them-
selves from this arrangement.
Even the passage of the Voting
Rights Act in 1965, by a majority
Democratic Party Congress, was
both a product of our fierce struggle
for civil rights and a practical rec-
ognition on the part of the Demo-
cratic Party that the empower-
ment and activation of Black vot-
ers would shore up national party
strength, particularly in the South.
Consequently, the accelerated pro-
cess of redrawing district lines to
enhance Black participation and
representation was strongly sup-
ported by the white liberal Demo-
crats. Given that those districts
would surely yield Black Demo-
cratic Congresspersons, it helped
secure the continuing Democratic
majority in Congress. Once elected,
these Black Democrats would act
as a voice of the Black community
in government. But more impor-
tantly, from the party's point of
view, it established an expanding
chain of Black elected Democrats
who could be counted on to pull
Black votes for white Democratic
statewide and national candidates.
This plan worked
Now to the problem. Thusly situ-
ated, Black voters, encouraged to
reinforce our Black oidentity ? by
electing Black Democrats, had ar-
guably become more oDemocrat ?
than Black. Militant rhetoric about
electoral self-determination and
Black empowerment notwith-
standing, we had given up our
political independence and our
ability to coalitionize with whom-
ever it made sense, because we
obelonged ? to the Democrats.
Then, as political polarization in
Clayton In Response to the
Ofcourse, I am disappointed that
the Supreme Court, in the case of
Miller vs, Johnson, used the United
States Constitution and the Equal
Protection Clause "the very docu-
ment that gives us rights " to
take certain rights away. Racial
minorities, particularly in the
South, will suffer as a result of this
decision. I remain committed to
representative democracy. And, I
am confident that the District I
represent, the First Congressional
District in North Carolina, will
not be affected by Miller.
It is my belief, based upon a
reading of Miller and preliminary
judgments, that my Congressional
District, as currently drawn, can
withstand the standards set out
by the Supreme Court. Indeed, I
would expect the Court to affirm
the state legislature's action and
the Lower Court's decision in my
case. I would have preferred the
Court to have disposed of the cases
of Shaw ys, Hunt and Pope ys,
Hunt, the North Carolina cases,
without further consideration.
However, the Court, in its wis-
dom, decided to take a second look
at those cases, and we expect con-
sideration in October. Nonethe-
less, the First Congressional Dis-
trict, I believe, is a community.
There are many common inter-
ests. The population is homog-
enous, with cultural, social and
economic similarities throughout.
The District can withstand the
strict scrutiny test andits creation
was based upon acompelling state
interest. While there may well be
challenges, we will be prepared to
meet those challenges.
The Court, through Miller has
unfolded a new chapter in the on-
going struggle to expand the fran-
chise for racial minorities. Three
decades ago, with passage of the
Voting Rights Act of 1965, America
opened a new book on the most
precious right that we possess "
the right to vote. Through the Vot-
ing Rights Act, this Nation recog-
nized that special efforts were
needed to ensure that minorities
have an opportunity to meaning-
fully participate in the voting pro-
cess and to elect candidates of their
choice.
In Louisiana and Georgia, as in
h
the country intensified and the
white liberals found themselves at

redistricting decisions
North Carolina, where redistrict-
ing resulted in the election of the
first two African American repre-
sentatives " including myself "
since Reconstruction, challenges
were launched against the redis-
tricting. For five years, the valid-
ity of these newly drawn districts
has been at issue. Now that the
Supreme Court has spoken, the
struggle to secure equal and fair
voting status for minorities moves
to another stage, another chapter.
At stake in this ongoing saga,
however, is more than congres-
sional seats. City and county offi-
cials, state legislatures and even
local school boards will be affected
by this decision.
The Court examined this issue
through terms such as orational
basis ?, ostrict scrutiny ?, ocompel-
ling state interest ? and osubstan-
tial factor ?, yet, at stake was the
cornerstone of our Democracy "
the right to vote. The people of this
Nation have sacrificed, waged war
and shed blood in defense of the
right to vote and to participate in
government. Surely the creation
of so-called oirregular districts ? to
\
(
promote regular voting by all citi-
zens is no less and no more than a
commitment in defense of democ-
racy.
As indicated, the 1966 Voting
Rights Act began a new book on
voting rights. New chapters were
written by Congress in 1970,1976
and 1982, strengthening the 1965
Act. Asa result of today Ts decision,
Congress and state legislatures
will likely write still another new
chapter.
The people of South Africa stood
in lines for days and days in order
to exercise their right to vote. Some;
unable to Walk, came in wheel bar-
rels, in order to exercise their right
to vote. Today, with these deci-
sions, groups of individuals have
been discouraged and led to be-
lieve that they may not be full
participants in our Democracy,
But, this Democracy will stand,
Its weakness is also its strength,
We recognize that this is not an
end. It is just another chapter.
America is divided, Fortunately,
our Constitution embraces, indeed
encourages, differences.

Democratic Party has been

Black issues for more than a de-

~ toany agenda with impunity, while
counting on our votes.
In the wake of the Supreme
Court Ts decision some Black aca-
demics and activists have argued
that the decision is ultimately a
positive one because it will spur
the flaccid civil rights milieu to
rejuvenated action. I Tm all for civil
rights action. But, I think it would
be a serious mistake to respond to
the court decision in knee-jerk
fashion by attempting to give new
life to a dead coalition with an
ineffective strategy and unwilling
partner. I think we have to seek
sor tianeee sotide of the Dery
cal alliances outside of the De
cratic Party. I think we need to
reach out to the national Perot
voter and other white non-liberal
constituencies. I am now working
with them in the Patriot Party and
elsewhere. They are not anti-
Black, so much as anti-Big Gov-
ernment. The extent to which our
political wagon has become hitched
to that overgrown and arrogant
liberal Big Government has made
us a target of the current populist
~revolt. Ifwere to create voting part-
nerships with these constituents
around issues of democratic re-
form and government accountabil-
ity, we could be responsible for
putting far more than the 40 Black
Representatives wecurrently have
in Congress. Far from diluting our
political power, our influence
would be significantly expanded.
I think the entire Congressional
Black caucus should run for re-
election in 1996 as independents,
not as Democrats. They should
announce that plan now and start
using the leverage that would pro-
duce for them in Congress and
with the President. And we, as a
community of voters and Ameri-
cans, should reconstruct our po-
litical allegiances and become in-
dependents. That is where the
power lies. To contact Dr. Fulani,

A Tribute -
Twenty-five years ago when one
of the five newly constructed high
schools was built, the Reverend
Ernest McNair became North Pitt
High School Ts first assistant prin-
cipal.
oSuccess is more a function of
consistent common sense tha it is
of genius ?. (Al Wang) - Reverend
Ernest McNair Ts success as North
Pitt High Schgol Ts retired assis-
tant principal can be partially con-
tributed to his quiet, rarely raised
voice or his giving orders, for he
has turned around troubled stu-
dents as well as watched many
students succeed. Yes, he has
changed lives.
Has anyone thought of the num-
ber of shoes he has worn out walk-
ing those halls, the campus and/or
the classrooms daily?
Acommitted and dedicated man
has given so much to that school
and community these 25 years.
How was he honored? Unbeliev-
ably, a replacement will be hard,
for his caring and nurturing will
be sorely missed by administra-
tor, teachers an students. And he
didit unequivocably without noise,
fret or fume. Reverend McNair,
we salute you!

RACISM
RACISM is the mistaken belief
by some people that their group, or
race, is better than others. They
think that other groups are odif-
ferent. ?
As aresult of racism some groups
in our society have more privileges
than others. Racial discrimination-
which means giving houses, jobs
or educational opportunities on the
grounds of race - is against the
law. But racial abuse happens in
many places: on the bus, in the
playground, and even in the class-
rooms.
Prejudice means deciding in ad-
vance what someone is like in-
stead of finding out for yourself.
Prejudice comes from fear and sus-
picions. Some people are preju-
diced against those of another race.
Astereotypeisa fixed idea about
what people are like. For example,
racial stereotyping, means that
some teachers expect all black chil-
dren to be athletic. Stereotypes
are bad because they can limit
how you see others and how you
see yourself.
Very young children are not rac-
ist. They trust and accept anyone
who is loving toward them. You
are not born with attitudes or
prejudice. They are taught and
learned. Racist ideas get passed
on when people talk to others or
write or draw pictures. Parents
teach their own attitudes to them.
Some people today think that
they will benefit from being racist.
They may be afraid or jealous of
other groups. They may blame dif-
ficulties in their own lives or other
people. They may have learned
from their parents to resent and
mistrust people from other groups.
Anybody can be racist.
Racism creates mistrust be-
tween people. Apartheid is based
on racist ideas that blacks and
whites are different and should
live and develop separately be-
cause whites are superior.
Racism can bring about hatred,
murder and war. Everyone must
learn about and understand the
problems and causes. The more
you know about other people and
they know about you, the less you
will be divided by racism.

bottom line is to never let a child

on a regular basis and whose goal
is prevention.

On Monday, June 12, Opportu-
nities Industrialization Centers of
American (OICA), founded by Rev.
Leon H. Sullivan, announced the
holding of its 31st Annual Convo-
cation in Raleigh, North Carolina
August 13 - 16. Mr. Kenneth
Duffan, Chairman of the Convoca-
tion Committee for OICA, an-
nounced that Opportunities Indus-
trialization Centers(OlCs) from
across the United States and
around the world will convene in
Raleigh. Although the conference
is generally held in much larger
cities, the decision to have the Con-
vocation in North Carolina was
based on the exemplary work of
North Carolina OICs in the reduc-
tion of unemployment. These OICs
are in Elizabeth City, Greenville,
Kinston, Rocky Mount and Wil-
son.
Through workshops, plenary
sessions and seminars conducted
by national, state and local ex-
perts, the Annual Convocation will
motivate OIC staff, boards and
volunteers to continue to provide
job training and strive to do a
betterjobin the employment train-
ing field. It further creates the
opportunity for OlCs to heighten
their visibility and expand their
private industry partnerships .
Speaking on behalf of the North
Carolina OlCs, Genotre Penney-
Boone, Chair, Board of Directors
of Rocky Mount OIC, noted that
this is a big event for North Caro-
lina. In addition to the economic
impact the conference will have on
travel,, hotel and food revenues,
the conference offers a lot to the
entire community. From Sunday,
August 13 through Wednesday,
August 16 corporations will dis-
play and give free samples of their
products in the Exhibit Hall. The
Exhibit Hall is free and open to the
public. Also, during the conference
there will be a JOB-O-RAMA
where individuals seekingemploy-
ment or change in employment
can interview with corporations
interested in hiring,. Ms. Penney-
Boone further noted that time has
not expired and corporations or
vendors interested in marketing
their products can contact OICA
at 800/621-4642.
oOIC fits in the State Ts scheme.
As North Carolina recruits more
industries, we need more Job train-
ing, oremarked Carolyn Coleman,
Special Assistant to Governor
Hunt and representing the
Governor Ts Office. Ralph
Campbell, North Carolina State
Auditor, and formerly with the OIC
movement, called OIC, oan inte-
gral part of welfare reform . o Mr.
Campbell pointed out that in both
the Comprehensive and Employ-
ment Training and Job Training
Partnership Acts, OIC was the only
community based, job training or-
ganization listed by name. After
urging OlCs to continue the grat
work, Mr. Campbell added, oOf all
the opportunities afforded by OlCs,
the best one is the opportunity to
continue educatign and receive job
training which?,?vokes dignity and
respect in people. ? Senator Bob
Martin, one of the leading OIC
advocates, added that he has been
along time believer in OIC andthe
work NC OlCs have done. Brad
Thompson, Mayor ProTem for the
City of Raleigh, concluded by say-
ing othe conference Ts economic
impact is valuable, but the ser-
vices OIC offers are more valu-
able. ?

Dear M Voice,
It seems that every summer the
media are filled with stories of
how some young black male has
lost his life due to senseless vio-
lence at the hands of another black
male. It has many of us asking the T
familiar questions: Why is there
so much violence in our communi-
ties and what are the solutions?
I think the problem is that our
youth are in search of a knowledge
of themselves and their culture
that has been denied them by the
Letter to the editor
current educational system. Our
youth have not been taught about
the contributions of such strong
black leaders. as Marcus Garvey
and H. Rap Brown because their
philosophies are considered ocon-
troversial. ? Therefore, Hollywood
seized the'opportunity to feed our
youth lies since we did not provide
them with the truth.
As part of the solution my orga-
nization The L.O.S.T. (Leaders of
Systematic Transition) Generation
recently announced a program for
our city called Operation
M.E.D.LA. (Mass Education De-
veloping Intelligent Africans). This
summer we are asking our broth- "
ers and sisters to make good use of "
VCR Ts, tape recorders and etc. in
an effort to distribute positive in-
formation toour youth. Withjusta
little effort we can teach our chil-
dren about their past to light their
way to a brighter future.

Solving the Problems in our
changing world
By Fay Phillips-Best
Christian Friends:
After carefully reviewing dif-
ferent comments and statements
coming from many individuals con-
cerning the problemsin our chang-
ing world, it filled me with the
desire to address some of those
issues as I will attempt to do in
this letter.
According to the Word of God,
the churches and Christians
should take an active role in solv-
ing the problems at hand. Quite
often people state the problem,
and point fingers at other
or organizations, yet they are not
putting forth any etfort to find a
solution.
The people who aren't skilled
should be targeted and given di-
rection as to how and where to
receive the training needed to se-
cure a job. Once a person com-
pletes his or her skills, groups
should be established to locate
firms orjobs which might hire that
particular individual.
proups
It is know fact that the Chris-
tians are so busy finding fault of
one another and judging each
other, they are failing to fulfill
these obligations. The scripture
tells us to oGive ye therefore and
teach all nations whatsoever I have
commanded ye ?.
The Muslims, Jehovah Wit-
nesses and Mooneys may not ac-
knowledge Jesus as Lord and Sav-
ior, yet they fulfill in many ways
the things we omit as Christians;
two most important things, love
and togetherness.
One thing Ihave observed about
the Muslims, they follow the direc-
tion of their leader, whereas they
do nof fight nor argue with his
vision or leadership. Failure to fol-
low is not anything new among
Christians, for Moses, Jesus and
even Martin Luther King, had
problems with the people that fol-
lowed them.
It is common knowledge they
achieve their goal because they
went on in spite of the die hards
and complainers. Those of us who

As battles rage over new land-
fills, recycling becomes more and
more important. Compostingis one
of the most effective recycling
methods. With minimum effort,
homeowners can reduce their gar-
bage volume, protect the environ-
ment and save money.
Many items we normally throw
away can be turned into nutrient-
rich compost. Rather than being
hauled to a landfill, items such as
yard waste, coffee grounds and old
newspapers can become the foun-
dation for a beautiful lawn or gar-
den. Growers who follow a few
simple directions can enhance
their soil Ts nutrient content, im-
prove its physical properties and
increase its water-holding capac-
ity.
How do you manage this _al-
chemy? One simple method is to
prepare a compost heap in which
you alternate layers of organic
matter with layers of soil. The or-
ganic layer should be 6 to 12inches
deep; the soil 1 to 2 inches. Be-
cause soil microorganisms require
nitrogen to decompose organic ma-
terial, growers should generally
mix 3 to 5 pounds of 10-10-10 fer-
tilizer (or the equivalent) per 100
pounds of organic material.
Growers are advised that not all
organic materials are appropriate
for compost heap. Avoid pet wastes
because they can transmit dis-
eases. Also, do not use meat, bones
and dairy products, which can at-
tract rodents.
Once you have completed the
initial layers, wet the heap to be-
gin the decomposition process.
Apply enough water to moisten
the material but do not (over)
make it soggy. Turn the pile over
every three to four weeks to insure
uniform decomposition.
Submitting a waste-analysis
sample to the North Carolina De-
partment of Agriculture Ts Agro-
nomic Division is the most accu-
rate and efficient way to make
these determinations. The
division Ts Waste Advisory Section
will determine the concentration
of 12 essential plant nutrients in
your compost and provide easy-
tofollow recommendations for the
particular usage you specify.
In addition to submitting a com-
post sample, growers should sub-
| mit soil samples from the areas
over which they intend to spread
' the waste. A staff agronomist can
then compare soil nutrient status
to compost nutrient availability
» and make a recommendation tai-
lored to your specificmaterials and
needs,
For information on soil and com-
post testing, contact local agricul-
tural advisors or the NCDA Agro-
nomic Division at (919) 733-2655.
A waste analysis costs $4 and soil
tests are free.
