Barnett that sounded a lotlike my column (~~The Black Leadership Syn-dromeTT) that appeared on the same editorialpages the following week.~~Black leaders need to stop meeting and tellingus what weCnn 3a | Tonyknow.The sadBrown thing aboutany one ofus at theprassrootslevel putstogether a: program that would bring about self-help, wewould not get 10 pastors or five of the people whomake up the North Carolina Black PoliticalCaucus to support it,TT BarnettTs letter explainedin The Charlotte Post.~If anyone of us gets up and tries to dosomething, we are given no support by most ofthose who call for self-help,TT he added.BarnettTs remarks were precipitated by a recentmeeting in Charlotte of the North Carolina BlackLegislative Caucus, an organization of elected of.-ficials that Barnett called the ~~PoliticalTT Caucus.A Post article had previously criticized the group'slack of a specific agenda and ~~bickering.?T~~When we cut through the dense haze of blackleadership .rhetoric, do we find anything beingdone? Not likely,TT Post editor Jalyne Strongwrote in her column.I know the feeling. ITve been promoting BuyFreedom, an economic self-help campaign to keep50 percent of our $230 billion in black hands, forthe last three years. With few exceptions, blacks inleadership positions have been indifferent andpolite, but have avoided being of any substantialhelp.And, as Barnett points out, they are the veryones who say we should help one another, Butplease donTt think this is a case of sour grapes. |never expected them to live up to their rhetoric,therefore I. do not share BarnettTs frustration orITve learned to be more selective. Some blacksare simply insincere. But those with a commitmentare real jewels. Which leads me to a young lawyerin Wilmington, North Carolina, named PeterGrear.When we started Buy Freedom three years ago,Peter Grear came to my attention because he wasspending his own money to buy advertising in TheWilmington Journal to solicit help for the cam-paign. He now heads our North Carolina BuyFréedom campaign.Grear is also chairman of the North CarolinaBlack Leadership Caucus " not to be confusedwith the aforementioned ~~LegislativeTT Caucusthat BarnettTs letter referred to. And, through theconsiderable influence of Grear and his member-ship, both the North Carolina Democratic Partyand the Republican Party have endorsed the BuyFreedom philosophy of circulating more money inblack hands.When we produced our first Buy Freedom mo-tion picture (~~The White GirlTT), it was PeterGrear who made it possible for hundreds of NorthCarolinians to get jobs as extras and others tosecure Speaking parts and technical jobs.In Wilmington, Grear and the Buy Fredombusinesses have created a Buy Freedom Scholar-ship Fund to assist underprivileged students.| donTt want this to sound like a eulogy, but |hope we don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. While many (too many) black organiza-tions and leaders are rhetorical gymnasts, PeterGrear and the North, Carolina Black LeadershipCaucus (leaders who do not necessarily hold of-fice) are not.So far, the Pete Grears, the AKA's, the Deltas,the 100 Black Men of Atlanta, Meharry MedicalCollege, the Business and Professional WomenTsClubs, Norfolk Community Hospital, the BlackMBA's, etc. " and many other grassroots groups" have raised over $600,000 utilizing our first BuyFreedom motion picture.In my opinion the leaders are only as good asthe followers.

The story of Christmascomes chiefly from the Gospels ofSaint Luke and Saint Matthew inthe New Testament.

The word Xmas _ issometimes used instead ofChristmas. This tradition beganin the early Christian Church. InGreek, X is the first letter ofChristTs name. It was prequent-ly used as a holy symbol.4.

In all,some 655 people were killed and19,000 more were seriously in-jured by such accidents in NorthCarolina.Officials at the GovernorTsHighway Safety Program and theGovernorTs Highway Safety Com-mission said the designateddriver program will save lives ifused consistently.

Self-esteem comesfrom our willingness to speak out, to stand up forwhat is right and what is righteous. |I became a political activist because I realizedthat in order to help our people I had to changenot their minds " how they think and feel " butthe conditions which create black peopleTsdegredation, their humiliation and self-hatred.And I became a builder of the independentpolitical movement because I believe that a fun-damental impediment to our self-esteem and ourempowerment is our dependence on a politicalparty " the Democratic Party " that has taken usfor granted for fifty years while giving us nothingin return.We saw that disrespect in action during thepresidential election this year. And next year "with important municipal races coming up inChicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Jackson (Miss.),..and New York City " we will get another look athow much ~o~esteemTT the Democratic Party has forthe African-American people. New York City is acase in point.Two days after New York CityTs African-American electorate gave the Democrats one of:T their few election day victories, Mayor Ed Koch "the leader of the Democratic Party in New YorkCity " once again showed his true colors: he toldTReverend Jesse Jackson to keep out of the 1989mayoral race here.

I lookforward to hearing his voice in the growing.dialogue that is taking place in our community onthe all-important issues of independent politics.Very soon the Democratic Party establishment, ..white and black, in cities across the country is go-ing to start giving us the business, just like they didin the presidential election: give your votes to theDemocrats, theyTll say, and you'll be rewardedlater.
