THE 'M
EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA'S MINORITY VOICE - SINCE 1981
The struggle for
justice continues
The Coalition Asainst Racism
(CAR) announced that while
some progress has been realized
In the current project of picket-
ing a local Piggly Wiggly store,
there remains some demands yet
to be met.
CAR further states that a fa-
vorable ruling by the Employ-
ment Security Commission for
Shawan Sutton supports their
claim that Ms. Sutton was fired
from her job as acashter unfairly
and had, indeed, been dis-crimi-
nated against
In a recent press conference
with the media, CAR informed
the public that three of the de-
mands had been agreed upon by
one of the three Piggly Wiggly
owners. However, it was felt that
these concessions were merely
symbolic gestures that fll far
short of the goals sought bciween
CAR and Piggly Wiggly.
CAR further stated that they

believe Piggly Wiggly ownersh
is attempting to lure the commu-
nity into believing that these pro-
posals:
" to provide a 10% refund
from total receipts on an annual
basis to churches;
" to re-hire Shawan Sutton
with acash payment of $2,500.00;
" and 50% of senior manage-
ment by African American by
January 1, 1997;
are their idea and to cast a
negative shadow on CAR. CAR
states that these donationg
would not have been realized if
CAR had not ordered a Selective
Buying Plan against Piggly Wig-
gly .
According to CAR, oOur first
obligation is to Ms. Sutton, who
was unfairly fired from her job.
Until a solution is amicable, we
have no, recourse but to con-
tinue picketing for justice. �

By ED SCHAFER
Contributing Writer
Is racism primarily a guy
thing? A pair of recent studies at
Washington University in St
Louis suggests it might be.
In the studies, small groups of
men and small groups of women
were assigned to solve a prob-
lem. Several groups were used,
with varying mixtures of blacks
and whites.
The mixed-race male groups
appeared to be hampered by con-
flicts over dominance and con-
trol when they tried to work to-
gether and solve the problem.
But the women seemed to be
comfortable regardless of the
group Ts makeup, researchers
said.
oThis could be very important.
Many researchers have assumed
that men and women behave
pretty much the same when it
comes toracial issues, � said Larry
E. Davis; a professor of social
work and psychology and one of
the co-aulhors.
oBut our findings suggest that
this is a false assumption. Obvi-
ously, more research is required,
but our sludy definitely raises
the question of whether racism
~searchers think so
is foremost a male thing. �
The National Science Founda-
tion funded the work by Davis
and Michael J. Strube, a profes-
sor of psychology in arts and sci-
ences
To keep costs down, Davis T and
Strube Ts work initially limited
their work to how mixed-race
groups of men solve problems.
Each of 30 four-person groups
was placed in a room and asked
to work together on a decision-
making task. Participants later
compleled a questionnaire that
allowed researchers to assess
how individual members viewed
Ihe experience, including satis-
faction with group performance,
confidence in group decisions and
willingness to work with the
group in the future. The results
werc striking, an expert said, in
questioning whether companies,
courts, schools an other institu-
tions may be wrong in assuming
that the best teams for solving
problems arc ones with good ra-
cial mix.
oIt Ts a great contribution, � said

Soldiers for racial justice must fight
By Keith Cooper
On November 1, 1996, the Coa-
lition Against Racism launched
a selective buying campaign to
Black election victories
and defeats
BY ASKIA MUHAMMAD
Amid the sadness of electoral
defeat for North Carolina Demo-
cratic Party Senate candidate
Harvey Gantt and Wash ington,
D.C. Umoja Party candidates
Mark Thompson, Rahim Jen-
kins, Rick Malachi and George
Pope, there is one major victory. -
In the three most important
races as far as Black people are
concerned this election there was
a major win, the re elec tion of
Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D Ga. ).
Her decisive victory is the most
liberating outcome of this elec-
tion cycle. First, her majority
Black population district was
outlawed by the U.S. Supreme
Sourt and redrawn into a major-
ity white one. Then, became of
her courageous refusal to vote
for a House resolution condemn-
ing Min. Louis Farrakhan, for a
speech by one of the Nation of
Islam leader Ts former rep
resentatives, she was the target
of a vicious race-baiting cam-
paign targeting normally liberal
Jewish voters.
With McKinney Ts 58 to 42 per-
cent win over Republican John
Mitnick, she has trumped, once
and for all, the orace card, � and
the oanti-Semitic card. � Her vic-
tory margin was larger even than
that of fellow Black Rep. Sanford
Bishop(D-Ga.), who won 54 to 46
percent over another white Re-
publican in a si.nilarly re-
distristed race. With Rep.
McKinney's victory as an ex-
ample, no longer can bigots we
the honorable principle of de-
served solidarity with Min.
Farrakhan as a wedge to intimi-
date elected officials with the
threat that whites will judge
them, solely on the basis of how
they play the oFarrakhan card. �
This doesn Tt mean that weak-
~kneed Black politicians will now
find their back-bones and stand
up and follow the Nation of Is-
lam leader Ts courageous ex-
ample, but it is a new day for
those who will be fair and open-
minded...even white politicians
can now look at Min. Farrakhan
in a new oobjective � light.
In addition to the victories of
Reps. McKinney and Bishop in
now white majority districts,
Texas Reps. Sheila Jackson-Lee
and Eddie Bernice Johnson were
also re elected in districts with
Supreme Court ordered new
bounduies. Also, in Indiana, Re-
elect Julia Carson (D-In.), de-
feated a white Republican in a
majority white district, and will
become the newest member of
the Congressional Black Caucus
in the otherwise disappointing,
Republican dominated 106th
(Continued on page 3)
stop unfair, discriminatory hir-
ing and firing practices at the
Dickinson Avenue Piggly Wig-
sly. Before the picket line was
formed, CAR made numerous
attempts to negotiate a resolu-
tion to the problem. Yet, Rick
Jackson, co-owner, doesn't be-
lieve fire burns. Bishop Randy
Royal and others asked Rick
Jackson to rehire Shawann
Sutton who was fired after a re-
fusal to sell cigarettes to a fif-
teen-year-old white girl. The
white girl Ts mother stormed in-
side the store and shouted racial
obscenities ( oblack nigger �,
oblack bitch �) at the African-
American cashiers, one of which
was Mrs. Sutton.
Piggly Wiggly traditionally has
discriminated against its Afri-
can-American customers and
employees. Prior to the picket-
ing, Piggly Wiggly had roughly a
97% African-American clientele.
Yet, our people, especially
women, have been disrespected,
used, and abused for too long by
Piggly Wiggly. Wake up African-
American sisters and brothers
and smell the coffee. We must
stand together and demand re-
spect or we will fall asunder in
defeat and shame. Let Ts become
warriors for racial justice by join-
ing the picket line on the battle-
field of Piggly Wiggly. Every sis-
ter and brother reading this ap-
peal have a moral obligation to
participate in the picketing until
Jackson is brought to his knees.
A racial or discriminatory act
left unanswered and unchal-
lenged may be likened to African
American men and women being
obull whipped � or smashed with

batons, reminiscent of the gloom
and dvom days of the 1890 Ts and
1960's.
When Jackson supports price
inflation, unfair check-cashing
practices, and discrimination
against African-American s, the
elderiy and T African-American
customers become victimized.
Therefore, the picketing must
continue until the specific de-
mands of CAR are met in their
entirety. Further, a friend of mine
reminded me about how cantan-
kerous Piggly Wiggly can be
when, in 1965, she picketed a
Piggly Wiggly (in Ayden) whose
management refused to hire Af-
rican-Americans. Seemingly,
many Piggly Wiggly stores have
a predisposition clouded by acts
of racial hatred and enmity to-
ward African-Americans.
Lately, white customers have
been patronizing Jackson Ts store
like never before. Awhite cus-
tomer recently said that although
he had not shopped at Piggly
Wiggly in fifteen years, he feels
obligated to keep Jackson in busi-
ness. This outrageously ignorant
comment evidences the urgency
of CAR Ts struggle to combat those
who seek to add more fuel to the
raging fire of racism ignited by
narrow-minded characters like
Rick Jackson.
Last but not least, I ask my
brothers and sisters to join us
(CAR) on the battlefield as we
challenge the aforementioned
bigotry and arrogance charac-
teristic of Jackson.
Together, we will carry the
blood-stained banner to victory.
Indeed, there is light at the end
of the tunnel.

impact on what is being done in

oThese problems could have
life and death implications in
military situations, � said Garvin,
who also specialized in group
studies. oYears ago the military

oA lot of managers might con-
sider it common sense to include
equal numbers of blacks and
whiles when pulling together
special work teams and
committees, �said Strube, obut
our data suggest this approach
may be counterproductive. In
situations involving all-male
work groups, a racial balance
could be the worst case scenario. �
The study was repeated with
women when Davis and Strube
had funds left over.

The results were disappoint-
ing at first glance. .
oPeople looked and said, _
~Never mind, there's nothing go-
ing on here, � said Davis. oBut
then we looked again and saw .
that we had some really telling
data. �
oMen clearly had some diffi- |
culties working in groups with
equal numbers of blacks and
whites "a situation that did not
seem to bother women, � said
Strube. oWe presume that males
in racially balanced groups may
be more likely to engage each
other in a battle for control, a
power struggle that creates a
negative atmosphere.
oIt could be that control and
power are not as important in
female groups, perhaps because
women traditionally are more
conditioned to be accommodat-
ing in' ~social situations. �
The success of this study has
encouraged Davis and Strube to
seek funding for a larger study,
expanding the groups from four
tosix people. The initial groups
had one black and three whiles,
two ofeach, and three blacks and
one white. Davis is hoping to
find funding to study groups of
six: two blacks and four whites,
three of each, and four blacks
and two whites.

5 ways t6 prevent
acold :
Everyone arourid you may be
sick, but you don Tt have to follow
suit. Try these tips from experts
across the country to avoid winter's: -
misery.
1. Be sure to wash your hands
frequently. Your fingers can pick
up cold viruses (which are capable
of living for several hours on sur-
faces such as telephones, door
handles and computer keyboards).
Make aneffort to clean your hands
frequently. throughout the day.
2. Avoid touching your nose and
eyes. These are entry points for
cold viruses. And if you want to
kiss someone, limit it to a peck on
the cheek (or forehead).
3. Be carefree. Some experts
believe that keeping stress under
control may boost your immune
system. A laboratory study con-
ducted by Carnegie Mellon Uni-
versity in Pittsburgh found that
the lower a person Ts stress level
was, the more likely she would be
to fight off a cold virus.
4. Keep mucous membranes
moist. The air in heated rooms can
dry out the tissues of your nose
and throat. This in turn dries up
mucus - a protective barrier
against cold viruses. So humidify
the air and drink lots of fluids -
preferably eight glasses daily.

Table of Contents
1. Finding a job
2. Translating common words
and phrases
3. Bosses
4. Co-workers
5. Succeeding as a manager
6. Entrepreneurship
The purpose of this book is to
help blacks who do not come from
middle-class backgrounds learn
how to get along in the business
world, Move up the ladder and
branch out into their own enter-
prise.
Learn how to get along with
white people - why not let white
people worry about getting along
with you? The fact is, they don Tt
need to. It is possible for a white
person to build an empire or sim-
ply lead an average life without
getting to know any black people.
Getting ahead in a predomi-
nantly white corporate environ-
ment can be tricky and sometimes
infuriating because you need to
hold your tongue, tread lightly and
dodge the delicate issue of race
which will face you every step of
the way.
Remember, believe in yourself,
work hard, always keep your goal
in sight, learn your craft, absorb
as much knowledge as possible
and keep moving up until you can
get out.

care of our cars than we do of

WHO TS TO BLAME?
oThe soul who sins is the one
who will die �. Ezekiel 18:20 Sup-
pose an unmarried girl has a baby.
Should her parents have to pay
child support? Or if a student
skips classes, should Dad be forced
to pay a fine? Does it make sense
to press charges against a single
mom if her teenage son rapes a 12-
year-old girl? These things have
actually happened in recent years,
indicating that Mom and Dad had
better be careful what you do.
But then the Supreme Court
made a ruling last year that 16
year old murderers can be executed
for their crimes.
It gets a little confusing, doesn Tt
it? Who is responsible for whom?
We can conclude that even though
parents exert a strong in fluence
over their children Ts behavior, each
if you read the first 20 verses of
Ezekiel 18, you know how God
views personal responsi bility.
Verses 5 through 9 describe a righ-
teous man. Verses 10 through 13
describle his unrighteous son. And
verses 14 through 17 describe the
righteous man who descended from
both. In all three cases, the Lord
held each person responsible for
his own actions (v.20).
It all boils down to this: We can Tt
excuse our bad behavior (temper,
harmful habits, or lack of love) by
blaming our parents. Sure, they Tl]
have to give account to the Judge
of the universe for the example,
how we choose to live, is our re-
sponsibility.
The lesson: oWhat we become
depends on what we choose �.
From: Campus Journal, Octo-
ber 1996
To Think About:
oPrayer is a family matter �
oYou never lose when you choose
Christ �.
oWhen life gets stormy, cling to
the Rock �.
BALANCING
Do you balance your business
and personal lives well? Does your
spouse complain you spend all your
time at work? Do you miss family
events - dinners, kids games, an-
niversaries? Have your children
begun to misbehave? Are their
grades slipping?
Do you suffer from chronic head-
aches or fatigue? Are you gaining
(or losing) too much weight? Do
you work incessantly and still miss
dead lines?
oYes � answers to these questions
may be a warning that your busi-
ness is out of balance.
In most occupations, some people
have difficulty separating business
and personal lives. A steady diet
of long hours is poor mental nutri-
tion. Often workaholics are as
guilty as neglecting themselves as
they are their families.
Working through lunch hour is
unhealthy, too. Just as you grow
in your professional life so should
you grow in your personal life. Be
accessible to spouses and children.
Setting unreasonable goals may
cause you to end up with ulcers or
in the hospital or a loss of family.
So balance your business and per-
sonal lives.

McKinney was also condemned

events have their origin not only
in long-term tribal rivalries, but
in African political struggles as
well, exacerbated in many cases
by foreign intervention.
The most recent eruption of
mass violence broke out in April 1
994, after Central African leaders
had brokered a fragile peace ac-
cord between the Hutu-dominated
government of Rwanda and the
Rwandan Patriotic Front. The
RPF is a rebel group made up of
ethnic Tutsis whohad been driven
by the Hutu government into ex-

he shared between Hutu and
Tutsi, the Hutu extremist move-
ment (which controlled the gov-
ernment infrastructure and the
Rwandan army, and an extensive
network of local lynch-mobs called
the Interahamwe) began system-
atically exterminating their fel-
low Rwandans. They directed
their genocidal campaign not only
against the Tutsis, but also
against Hutus who would not join
them in the slaughter.
In the space of three months, at
least 500,000 (and perhaps as
many as 750,000) people were
murdered. The killing of the Tutsi
and their Hutu allies only abated:
when the Rwandan Patriotic
Front launched a major offensive,
driving the armies and militias of
the Hutu extremist regime into
the west of Rwanda, near the Zaire
border.
By this time the French, who
had been supplying military as-
sistance to the extremist Hutu
regime up to the eve of the massa-
cre, sought and obtained approval
from the United Nations Security
Council to send a military fo rce to
Rwanda on a ohumanitarian mis-
sion. �
The French intervention came
too late to stop the murder of the
Tutsi, but provided a shield be-
hind which the Hutu military re-
treated from the advancing RPF
and escaped into Zaire. As they
retreated, the Hutu militias ter-
rorized tens of thousands of Hutu
civilians into fleeing with them.
The arrival of the Hutu refu-,
gees and their military escort in
Zaire provided Zaire Ts discredited
dictator, Mobuhl Sese Seko, with
a new lease on political life. To
meet the needs of 1.5 million refu-
gees dying of cholera, starvation,
and exposure the international
community had to deal with
Mobutu, who they had begun to
diplomatically to ice out because
of his refusal to cede power to a
democratic transitional
goverment.
Mobutu oallowed � foreign troops
to come into Zaire to support the
logistics of bringing clean water,
shelter, food and medical supplies
to refugees. His corrupt army and
officials demanded bribes from
relief organizations to land their
cargo planes, looted supplies and
equipment from them, and shook
down terrified refugees for every-
thing they owned before letting
them across the border.
Mobutu had always been closely
allied with the Hutu extremist
regime, and thus his government
did not disclaim the remnants of
the Hutu militias, or separate the
murderous militia members from
innocent civilians. On the con-
trary, Hutu militias controlled the
camps and prevented civilians
from repatriating, and used the
camps as staging points to attack
the new RPF governments in
Rwanda. For two years these
camps festered, absorbing $1 mil-
lion a day in foreign assistance,
and benefiting no one except
Mobutu, the criminal clique that
rules that part of Zaire. and the

his movement to overthrow the
Rwandan war criminals en-
sconced there. ,
Last month, the impasse was
broken by the entry of a new po-
litical player: the Alliance of
Democratic Forces for the Libera-
tion of Congo-Zaire, whose main
force is the Banyamulenge "
Zairians of Tutsi heritage who
have borne the brunt of Mobutu-
inspired ethnic violence. The
nominal leader of this group is
Laurent Kabila, who has fought
Mobutu for 30 years.
In three weeks Kabila forces
broke up the camps, driving both
the Hutu militias and the Zairian
hoops away from the border zone,
and seizing the area Ts three main
cities. (Unfortunately, many Hutu
refugees fled with the troops, who
in some cases used these inno-
cents as human shields.) This ac-
tion has created a new humani-
tarian emergency, but it has also
radically changed the political
situation on the ground.
Kabila has called on all Zairians
to resist Mobutu provocation to
ethnic strife, and to instead join
violence and corruption of the
Mobuhl regime. He has declared
a unilateral ceasefire, to facili-
tate the entry of relief organiza-
tions, and has said his army has
no objections to an international
force being deployed to free the
refugees from their criminal cap-
tors. :
Meanwhile, President Clinton
has approved the deployment of
thousands of U.S. troops as part
of a multi-lateral force. But the
fear remains that the West Ts ef-
forts to osave innocent lives � will
once again prolong the murder-
ous Mobutu regime.

Harley (5-10, 210) got in on the
act by rushing for 205 yards and
a school record six touchdowns.
The Pirates produced 561 yards
of offense and 55 points, the most
ever by a Steve Logan coached
team at ECU.
While the Pirates were bat-.
ting Ohio, the Memphis Tigers
(4-6) were enjoying a bye week
after shocking then #6 Tennes-

Qadry Anderson (6-2, 197) threw
a3-yard touchdown pass with 34

phis football.
ECU had to challenge Mem-
phis without the services of se-
nior quarterback Marcus
Crandell. Crandell is recovering
from astrained knee injured Nov.
2 against Arkansas State after a
touchdown pass. Crandell is Kast

yardage (7,198) and touchdown

play Crandell until the knee is
completely healed in order to
protect his value in the NFL

Gonzalez has passed for 741

The National AIDS Hotline is
scheduling additional telephone
counselors for World AIDS Day,
Dec. 1, to prepare for the expected
surge in calls that day.
In 1995, nearly 24,000 people
called the hotline on Dec. 1, more
than five times the number of call-
ers on an average day.
oLast year, we noted an unusual
number of people calling for infor-
mation on how to volunteer with
their local AIDS service organiza-
tions, � said hotline director Ami
Israel. oWe are happy to provide
that information, along with in-
formation about HIV/AIDS and
referrals to local testing sites and

knocking on their door asking
when these fellows are going to

code to advance equal treatment
Washington, D.C., November
7, 1996 " In a move to end dis-
crimination against distilled
spirits products, The Distilled
Spirits Council of the United
States (DISCUS) updated its
Code of Good Practice for Dis-
tilled Spirits Advertising and
Marketing today to include tele-
vision and radio advertising.
oFor decades, beer and wine
have been advertised on televi-
sion and radio while the distilled
spirits industry has upheld its
own voluntary ban, � said DIS-
CUS President and CEO Fred A.
Meister. oThe absence of spirits
from television and radio has con-
tributed to the mistaken percep-
tion that spirits are somehow
oharder � or worse than beer or
wine and thus cescrving of
harsher social, polit: ab and le-
gal treatrnent Recent intro-
duced federal fegislation and
initiatives have inap-
propriately sought to use the
DISCUS Code as the basis for
discrimmation avast distilled
spirits adver kor these
reasons we have now amended
our Code of Good Practice. �
