Reparation For Black People Due To Slavery
Background on Reparations for
United States Blacks of Slave and
Slave Descent of African Origin"
By warrant, authority and
declaration in the year 1562, of
Queen Elizabeth, a white English
woman, war and African (negro)
enslavement as acts of war
began, an undeclared war
without provocation or aggres-
sion by the Africans (aggression
and provocation was only on the
part of the white people) when Sir
John Hawkins, who was the first
Englishmen, invaded the Conti-
nent of Africa and committed
acts of war against African
persons-women-men-children-
afterwhich, through plunder and
pillage, the physical bodies of
Africans were captured as
enslavement as acts of war (as
distinguished from the bodies of
soldiers are captured as acts of
war but not as acts of enslave-
ment as war.
Wars are fought for the taking
of resources such as land, oil,
gold, raw materials, violation of
duty or rights, etc., but the war
against Africans by the white
Europeans was a war for the cap-
ture of the body and its use ON-
LY, and through the slave and
triangular slave trade, war as
acts of enslavement continued for
three-hundred years, and as long
as the Africans (now called
negro, black, American, colored,
etc.) are in captivity, the war of
enslavement continues, even to
the present date hereof.
The Africans and their descen-
dants lost their freedom and self-
determinatin the instant and mo-
ment of time when they were Cap-
tured in Africa by white people;

descendants lost their land in
Africa when they were forceful-
ly transported away from Africa,
as an act of enslavement as war,
into the foreign jurisdiction of
America without passport or im-
migrant status; the African and
their descendants were stripped
naked and put on the slave auc-
tion block, examined in their
cavities and sold to a white per-
son as an act of enslavement as
war; the Africans were forced to
work, labor and produce without
pay for more than three-hundred
years, and was an act of enslave-
ment as war and supported by
U.S. Constitutional provisions of
the Fugitive Slave Act (1
Stat.302-305) pursuant to Article
IV., Section 2, Clause 3 of the Con-
stitution as an act of war.

CarrawayTs Creations
I am Lois Caraway, owner
and operator of CarawayTs Crea-
tions. I came to Greenville in
May, 1987 as a tailor for The Hub
Big and Tall MenTs Clothing
Store, transferring from the
Raleigh/Durham area. Before
working with the Hub I was
employed for a number of years
at S & W Tailors in Durham, N.C.
During that time I was assistant
manager for 15 years.
Durham being adjacent to the
Capital city I was exposed to quite
a few celebrities. Buddy Hat-
chett, James Coco, Mason Reese,
C. Sanders, the African Olympic
team participating in Summer
Olympics at Duke University.
One of my favorite people was
Frank SinatraTs mother.
Since I have been in Greenville
I noticed there is a tremendous
growth process and I could detect
a need for professional service in
the line of tailoring. As Greenville
grow those of us who want to go
places could grow with the area.
I havc acquired a business
associate who is experienced in
the field of marketing. Our main
objective is to offer exclusive ser-
vice in a totally professional
manner and reaching those peo-
ple who require quality care in all
aspects of clothing. We offer
tailoring alterations, designing,
dressmaking and wedding
apparel.

were forced by white people, as
act of enslavement as war to: 1.
Lose their culture. 2. Lose their
names. 3. Lose their religious
worship. 4. Lose their language.
5. Lose their nationality. 6. Lose
their morals. 7. Lose marriage
and family. 8. Lose human status.
9. Mental captivity/slavery.
The Black Americans were
forced as acts of enslavement as
war, into the political society of
the United States under the
burden of government and the
denial of the right of inheritance
of property, without freewill or
jural and mutual consent.
ANY AND ALL OF THE
ABOVE ACTS PERFORMED
BY SLAVE AND THEIR
DESCENDANTS ARE
ENSLAVEMENT AS ACTS OF
WAR AND ANY DEMAND FOR
As the summer began to fade
away and Fall was just around
the corner, the memory of my
friend still fresh on my mind, I
decided to go in seclusion wntil I
could get the horrible sight of my
friend out of my mind. SoI got a
list of my books that I was to use
in my senior year in school. The
closer the opening date got, the
sadder I got, because I knew that
I would never hear the voice of
my friend call for me every mor-
ning as he passed my house on his
way to school. I remember the
times we had walking with the
rest of the girls and boys as we
hurried to get to school before the
bell rang.
I studied real hard that year
because I had made up my mind
that I would leave home and ge
north after I graduated from high
school. The school year ended
May 31, 1941 and I was among the
best students graduating with a
B+ average, but that did not
erase the memories of my best
friend. I did what some folks
thought was good, but I knew that
I shouldTve finished with straight
ATs but sadness was still in my
heart. After the graduating exer-
cises were over I gathered my
things together and planned to
leave the next day, but this was
not to be. I donTt care how far
ahead you plan but you can not
outplan God. So I decided to
spend one more week with my
mother whom I love very dearly,

According to the above acts of

Government of the United States
of America and its sovereign
white people and all other people

enslavement of Africans (now
called negroes) has ended, other-

Descendants For Reparation�
We've Come
A Long Way
but I didnTt know that my aunt
and my mother had already
planned to give me a graduating
present that included a trip to
Baltimore. So June 21, 1941 we
packed our clothes in the 1939
Buick owned by my auntTs friend.
After everything was packed in
the car we said our goodbyes and
headed for Baltimore. It started
out to be a very lovely trip as we
rode through northeastern North
Carolina. The tobbaco was just
beginning to grow and the early
corn was just about to tassel out.
It was harvesting season for
white potatoes and as we rode
through the country we could see
the workers as they picked up the
potatoes and carried them to the
dumping truck.
On one occassion we stopped
and chatted with some of the
workers. We finally reached the
N.C./Virginia border after pass-
ing through Weldon, N.C.
Our next stop would have been
Petersburg, VA but about six
miles out of Petersburg we met
another car driving on the wrong
side of the highway and crashed
head on into us. After the crash
the only thing I can remember is
getting out the car lying on the
side of the road and then I black-
ed out. I donTt know to this day
when and how I got to the
hospital. After I had been there
about two days my mother came
to see me, and I have never been
so glad to see someone from

1. The forced working of Black
people for fifteen to eighteen
hours per day for seven days per

lives without wages or compensa-

women, white men and white
children and others of the free

2. Before reparations can be

enslavement must be ended

their descendants obtain freedom

home in my life.
She came to the side of the bed
and took me by the hand and
began to pray. After she finished
praying the only thing I could
think of was ~Mama, I am going
to be a better boy.�T After the ac-
cident I had a lot of hatred and
malice that had grown in me
after what had happened to me
and my friend.
I believe God shows us how we
should live in many ways. After
my mother left the room they
said I could have one more visitor
so she left and my next visitor
was Donovan Phillips who was
just opening a new undertaking
business in Greenville.
I donTt know how to say I was
glad to see a undertaker but I was
glad to see him. He came up to
the bed and said, ~Litte Bro. how
are you doing?TT I said I was fine
and and that I was glad to see
him.
Then he said to me, ~I have
come to take you home.�T You
know what kind of thoughts came
into my mind, when he said
home. So we packed what we had
and the nurse came in and took
me to the car and we headed back
for North Carolina.

episode of this true story next

BLACK
WOMAN
BY: C.A. DAWSON
Probably the most important
gift God gave to this earth was
woman, and his most important
gift to Black Society was the
Black Woman.
Under the curls, ~fros, locks,
and perms, " under the smooth
dark sl:in is the pure gold to our
society.
We as Black men do not own
them as if they are slaves. They
are our companions.
They are the keys to our sur-
vival. They bring new life into teh
world. They mother us. They
stand with, not behind us. We as
Black men realize our worth
through them. We as Black men
must not use or misuse them.
Though they are not perfect at all
times, they are our strength for
j, tomorrow. They are the BLACK
WOMEN...
ARE OUR
CHILDREN GOING?�
BY: DARION MALLARD AND
C.A. DAWSON
Where are your children? Are
they doing homework? Are they
on a corner selling or using dope?
Are they out stealing? Are they in
Church? are they sitting across

so they'll know how to later?

path others have missed.
11. Be a follower when you are
shrouded by themists of
uncertainty.
12. Be the last to criticize a col-
league who fails.
13. Be sure where your next
step will fall, so that you will not
stumble.
14. Be loving to those who love
you.
15. Be loving to those who do
not love you and they may
change.
16. Above all be YOURSELF.
GIVING ... WITH NO STRINGS
ATTACHED
1. Take your wife flowers for no
particular occasion. Children,
likewise, do the same for your
parents.
2. Plenty of oppurtunities are
available for us to serve others,
but often we overlook them. The
best place to start doing good to
others is right in your own home.
3. How about giving your mate
a cup of coffee or tea, or milk or
juice, in bed come morning?
4. Men, when was the last time
you put your arms around your
wife and kissed her without
selfish motives, or said those
three little words women love to
hear, oI love you,�T in such a way
that she knew you really meant
is?
5. Children can be taught to
show love for their parents too.
Can any of you parents think of
anything more precious than
when your son or daughter

nS
IPI TPR IIL LIE EL
throws his or her arms around
you and says, oI love you,TT?
Even a 2-year old can be taught
to show appreciation by saying,
~Thank you.�
6. All of us can help ederly peo-
ple or those not able to get about
much. The best way is to pay
them a visit and keep our ears
open and our mouths shut. Often
times, these people spend much
of their time alone and what they
need most is to have someone to
listen to them. You can learn
something, too, from someone
who has wisdom gained by many
years of actual experience in life.
7. Give with a postage-stamp.
Take the time to sit and write a
few words to interest them. The
course of many a personTs life has
been changed by a letter receiv-
ed from someone who cared.
8. Mutual giving and receiving
are part of the healthy rhythm of
life. LetTs commit ourselves to
giving"no strings attached.
TEACH YOUR CHILDREN
ABOUT GOD
WHY TAKE THEM TO SUNDAY
SCHOOL?
We take them to the zoo, the
planetarium, fishing, to the
beach, to the park, to the movies,
seldom to the library and never
to Sunday School. And we wonder
why the drugs, the alcohol, the
unwed mothers with babies.
Wake up parents before it is too
late.

themselves or their jobs too
seriously. This is true in presen.
tations and in one-on-one

Seven people out of ten who

lack of ability. According to
studies by executive recruiters,
itTs personality conflicts.

Shower your kids with love.
Every mother knows a child who
feels loved grows up to be a lov-
ing, happy, confident individual.
Remember, love isnTt love until it
is.giyen away, - in an affection -
pouch, a shared laugh, a moment
of closeness, in hugs and ki§ses
and lots of other ways.
After disciplining your child,
an important loving message is ~~
I donTt always like your behavior,
but I always love you.�
oPeople with great minds talk
about ideas,
People with average minds talk
about events,
People with small minds talk
about other people.�
Let me urge all students to
become involved in getting a de-
cent high school education and
only you can do this by applying
yourself, studying hard, getting
decent grades, for many of us
lack encouragement at home
(and parents, teachers, :en-
courage these kids daily), and too
many youngsters coast through .
school becauseT 6f their athletic
ability. Only hard work pays off.
So often we want our sons and
daughters to succeed because we
never did; therefore, we make
unrealistic demands on them. We
want our children to be perfect
because we never were. Maintain
a positive attitude and continue to
count your blessings. No matter
What. You cnaTt change people,
you can only change yourself.
Too many spouses are taken
for granted and never rewarded.
Instill values and goals in
children - but be sure you have
some first parents. Chinldren
need examples. f

the two above disclaimers in Civil
Number 88-00419 KN filed on
January 26, 1988; the U.S.
Government continued to use the
U.S. Constitution as acts of
enslavement as war against U.S.

rules pursuant to the U.S. Con-
stitution, BEFORE FIRST ISSU-

REQUESTED IN THE TWO
ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, to
dismiss the Complaint, and rules
to give a NUNC PRO TUNC
judgement against slaves descen-
dants as a class, and this con-
stituted an act of enslavement as
war which had a retroactive ef-
fect of casting off of the record,
all of slaves descendants
answers, pleadings, and
defenses; IT IS THE CON-
TINUED USE OF THE USS.
CONSTITUTION AGAINST
NEGRO SLAVES DESCEN-
DANTS, IN OBVIOUS AND
DELIBERATE DISREGARD
FOR ANSWERINGT THE
DISCLAIMING OF THE CON-
STITUTION THAT CON-
STITUTE THE EXHAUSTING
OF ALL LEGAL REMEDIES
and the continuation of negro
enslavements as acts of war.
5. The true status of U.S. Black
Slaves Descendants of African
Origin is: ENEMY ALIENS IN
AN UNDECLARED WAR OF
ENSLAVEMENT.
6. Black People of U.S. Slave
Descent is under physical slavery
and mental captivity.
Mental captivity: Forceful and
violent subjection to mental con-
trol or servitude through in-
fluences exerted over the in-
tellect, affections, or will.
The above 1 through 6 show
that every act done and commit-
ted against black slaves and
Slaves descendants was done by
force, war and without the con-
sent and jural process of Blacks
ever since Blacks have been in
America to the present date.

There has never been a legal pro-
cess whereby Blacks could be a
part of the U.S. Government
system, it was all by force and ©
war, THEREFORE, any attempt
to pay reparations to Blacks of
slave descent by legal process as
if they are legally part of the U.S.
Government is a fraud and act of
war of enslavement. Until slaves
descendants are part of the free
structure, the answer to WHY
DEMAND (instead of constitu-
tional means) REPARATIONS
FOR U.S. SLAVES DESCEN-
DANTS is because all that white
people and the U.S. Government
has done to Black people is by a
DEMAND and now by law and
legal process and the acts under
the present situation shall be
returned in kind through a DE-
MAND AND WAR.
The concept and advocacy or
~reparations�T as an issue in the
Black community is gaining
momentously because it is
evidently an idea whose time has
come. In fact, it has been an
ongoing issue in the Black com-
munity ever since the Negro
slaves were emancipated by
President LincolnTs Emancipa-
tion in 1863, therefore, Why De-
mand Reparations For Black
People of Slave Descent?
What Is Meant By the Term
~Reparations For Black People in
the United States?"
_ Reparation is sometimes call-
ed damages, compensation, and
redress, and as such is as old as
reparations in the form of gold
that Pharoah paid to the original
Jews in the Bible as seen in Ex-
odus, Chapters 6 through 15;
reparations also consisted of
repatriation and freedom and self
determination for the Jews to
leave the house and land of
Pharoah, though some of the
house slaves suffering from
years of mental captivity remain-
ed or wanted to remain in captivi-
ty with their Egyptian slave
masters and eat his pork chops,
chicken and chitterlings. Similar-
ly, the Negro slaves who were
owned as chattels by the modern
Pharoah"the government of the
United States of America and in-
dividual white men, white
women, and white children and
others of the free structure and
their heirs following in interest in
a consecutive, successive suc-
cessiion of the Negro slaves and
slavesT labor and value thereof to
the present date were also eman-
cipated, though not promised
gold, were promised ~forty acres
and a mule.� However, the Negro
Slaves and their descendants,
unlike the Jews in the time of
Pharoah were never allowed to

EDITORTS NOTE: Developing good parenting skills is important to

* umn will cover a number of topics that will be helpful to ALL
- PARENTS; young, older, single and maried.
~ TEENAGE PREGNANCY AND
OUR COMUNTIY
The United States has one of
- the highest teenage birth rates
« among the developed nations.
: Over one million teenagers
; ,become pregnant each year in
: the U.S., and over ~one-half
: million of them give birth. Within
T teenagers are in the south. In Pitt

County in 1987 more that 400
pregnancies to girls under 20
years of age were reported. Each
year in our county the number of
live births to girls aged 11 to 17
years increase. These pregnan-
cies impose an enormous cost
physically, emotionally, and
morally to the teenagers
themselves, and to society on a
whole.
It is difficult to separate the
consequences of adolescent
pregnancy from the causes, since
negative outcomes often reflect
pre-existing problems. The most
prominent consequences include
health risks for mother and child,
and reduction in life chances.
Adolescents are more likely to
receive inadequate prenatal care
than older women. Today, eight
out of ten girls who become preg-
nant before ~their 18th birthday
will drop out of school.
Despite the difficulties facing
them, some adolescent parents
prevail and complete their educa-
tion, rear children successfully
and gain access to career-ladder
jobs. Social support is significant
to the attainment of life goals for
teenage parent and child. Sup-
port mediates the strain of
pregnancy and_ teenage
motherhood; and is associated
with better mental health. Young
mothers need support to com-
plete their education, to have
some relief from child care, to ob-
tain vocational training, employ-
ment, and adequate housing.
Many young mothers need the op-
portunity to interact with others
in the same situation. The very
act of sharing experiences with
others may provide continual

parenting among this popula
They include the father of the
child, the teen motherTs family,
the peer group, and community
support.
In response to the facts of
teenage parenthood and court
decisions entitling pregnant teens
public education, a growing
number of special programs in
the schools that address teenage
parenting have evolved. These
programs provide additional sup-
port to adolescents and their
families. Project PARENTING is
support to adolescents and their
families. Project PARENTING is
our local school based program.
Project PARENTING is an ab-
breviation for Proactive Assess-
ment and Regulation of En-
vironmental Nurturing and
Teaching Interventions for Nor-
mal Growth. It is an educational
program for adolescent mothers
(teenage mothers) and their
children aged 0-3 years.
The program focuses on 1.
enhancing parent-child relation-
ships, 2. decreasing school drop-
out rates, and 3. enhancing
growth and development. All of
these goals are addressed under
teh umbrella of teaching paren-
ting skills. The program has been
in existence since June 1986, and
is a product of East Carolina
University, Pitt County United
Way, and Pitt County Schools.
Referrals are received from the
Department of Social Services,
Health Department, and the
Juvenile Court, and schols. This
writer serves as the social
worker for the program. The

TEACHING RESPONSIBLE
PRE-NATAL CARE
An innovative project was
recently conducted with prenatal
students at Agnes Fullilove Com-
munity School under the direc-
tion of Ms. Shelia Bazemore,
Vocational Education Teacher.
Jerry Everhart of Pitt County
Schools was aslo instrumental in
this project. The project was
designed to assist pregnant
students in responsible planning
and to stress the importance of
health.care prior to birth. Fer-
tilized chicken eggs were in-
cubated for 21 days. Respon-
sibilities for the girls included
turing the eggs twice daily, and
making show box cribs for the
chicks to use after hatching. The
plan of the project was that each
student would keep her chick for
one week. The student would be
responsible for bringing the chick
to school daily, just as the
students will bring their babies to
day care each day after they
deliver. The student would also
be responsible for meeting the
feeding needs of the chick. Other
students and staff members
became engrossed in the Project
as well. All eagerly awaited the
arrival of the chicks! !
Ironically fate delivered a dif-
ferent message to these young
mothers-to-be. Complications
developed within the incubator
with the humidity. Several eggs
did not hatch. The chicks that did
hatch had various physical defor-
mities and were short lived.
Many of the students expressed
surprise that lack of humidity
would create such problems -
especially since all other condi-
tions had been met.
~This Tproject afforded the op-
» portunityT
Ms. Bazemore to
stress importance of good
physical, medical, and
nutritiional pre-natal care. These
students saw first hand what can
possible happen if care is not
taken prior to birth. Many
students commented on how
oreal� and important pre-natal
care has become to them now.
The lesson in responsible pre-
natal care was well learned.

QURAN 2:1-5
The early Christians, who were
true followers of Christ, con-
founded the doubters who wanted
to mix truth with falsehood.
History shows that Christian
theology was divided into two fac-
tions. The Unitarians, who believ-
ed in one God, and the
Trinitarians, who believed in a
triune god. The Unitarians, rely-
ing on the authority of the Scrip-
tures, proved the triune doctrine
to be ,

and Reconstruction was the
failure of the United States and
the Congress to provide them"
over four millions"with land.
This was a deliberate act to deny
Negro slaves any land for the
purpose of forcing them to stay
on the same plantation, and this
fact is proven when one sees that
cotton production reaches the
same level as when the Negroes
were chattels. To this add jim
crow, black codes, lynching, etc.
Negro slave laborers (not the
industrial revolution) provided
the muscle and labor, without
pay for three centuries to clear a
wilderness in United States and
make the land productive (the
whites and Indians did not do it.)
Who got the three hundred years
of slave labor, money, goods, and
services that Black People
created from slave labor?? A
clue is given in the following
statement of General Pickney at
the Constitutional Convention at
Philadelphia in which he stated
that heT... was alarmed at what
was said concerning the taxing of
exports and stated South
Carolina (whose population was
two-thirds black chattel slaves
during the year 1776) has in one
year exported six hundred thou-
sand pounds Sterling all of which
was the fruits of (uncompen-
sated) labor of her blacks .. .�

States and its white people and
heirs) who plundered and by U.S.

Squeak too much and you could be replaced
We have always been convinced beyond a
doubt that the job cannot make a man im-
portant; itTs the contrary, a man can make a
job " no matter how lowly the job " im-
portant.
That statement should not be hard to
understand, but in the event that there are
those who find it difficult to understand, it
may be put another way that those persons
can see the light. In other words, it has
truthfully been said that one should be
careful whom he offends as he ascends the
ladder, because he may just meet those
same people when he is on the way down
the ladder.
In short, any student of military science
knows that it is not always wise to burn the
bridges as an army advances, because those
~bridges may have to be vital links in an
- orderly retreat.
T For those who just canTt understand,
_ they might be shaken by the words that my
. mother used when speaking to those folk
who thought that they had arrived because
of titles or the job they held. Mom would
say: o~I knew you when you werenTt and
you arenTt yet.TT
That made them think, and sometimes
they would realize that they were not the
bull of the pampas, nor the cock of the
walk.
On too many occasions on the local scene
African Americans have suffered because
the play for personal praise and the jockey-
ing for positions have overshadowed a con-
certed effort to reach worthwhile common
goals. |
Too often African Americans think
causes must be lead by titled gentry, but we
say it takes closed ranks by the big and the
little working together to reach desired
goals.
Far too often we want personal praise
when we should strive for progress for all.
Too often we want to be the favorite son
or daughter of the powerful majority, while
our brothers of much stronger backbone
bear the brunt of the ridicule from the ma-
jority.
Too often we watch our brothers cruci-
fied and justify our do-nothing attitude by
saying: ~~They didnTt do anything to me.�T
But, again we say, the plight of the least
of the African Americans is a cause celebre
for every African American and it would be
good for those seeking praise, special
favors or showcase positions to know that:
~~a squeaking wheel does not always get the
grease. Sometimes it is replaced.�T
You have to do the job yourself to get it done
What too many African Americans fail to realize
and practice is their responsibility to their fellow
African :
Americans
and to the
African
American
community in
general.
African
. Americans
need to take it
as a respon-
sibility to
solve any pro-
blem that exists in the African American communi-
ty. There is an urgent need for African Americans to
re-evaluate themselves.
Time is up for African Americans to look to the
outside for help in promoting decency within the
African American community. African Americans
must initiate the determination to clean up the
African American act.
Too much emphasis in the past has been placed on

monetary values. Monetary values at any cost.
African Americans have allowed vices of every
description, including the sale of drugs, to destroy
the moral fiber of the community. All for the sake of
profits derived by a few who then flaunt what they
consider affluence before the masses in the com-
omunity. Little thought is given to the demoralizing
effect that such shenanigans have on African
American youth.
Paternalism should be taboo in every and all
respects.
No one can expect an alien, no matter how well in-
tentioned, to look after oneTs needs as well as one
can do it himself.
No one can expect an alien to understand the pro-
blems that one faces as well as he himself can
understand them.
It should be off with the old and on with the new.
African Americans should begin to realize that if the
job is to be done, they themselves must do it.
In the words of the apostle Paul: ~~Therefore,
since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and ...
run with perseverance the race that is set before us.�T.
How do schools respond to pregnant teens?
By MARIAN WRIGHT EDELMAN
We know that it would be better if our teenagers
did not become pregnant or have children until they
have finished school. We also know that many of
them, unfortunately, do not wait. it is absolute-
ly crucial to the future survival Of these young
mothers " yes, and these young fathers " that their
schools treat them fairly and try to help them stay in
that dictates decent treatment for the pregnant and
parenting teens in school. ItTs the law. A federal law,
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, pro-
tects these students from discrimination.

Too many of ~~the most visible of our black in-
formation � are ~o~overstatingTT the
orepetitive songT of self-help " especially ~~ar-
ticles like Tony BrownTs can lie counterproductive
and even damaging to the very people whom they
are intended to help,TT Lonzie Cox, Jr., wrote on
the edito-
rial page of
the New
Pittsburgh
Courier. .
~*HereTs
what I
mean.
While I for
one have
always thought Tony Brown had a good grasp of
our communitiesT goals, needs and problems na-
tionwide, he seems to have narrowed his view to
the point where he thinks self-help is the only
change that black America needs. While I agree
with him that self-help is a vital compromise in
our recovery to economic and social levels ... self-
~help is not the only answer and should not be
touted as such,�T he added.
In my opinion, CoxT criticisms are very
reasonable and typical " typical in the sense that
he represents the point of view of the vast majority
of black people. He would have to, or how else
could you explain the fact that we spend 95 per-
cent of our money with non-black people? I readi-
ly concede that Cox is more representative of
naive mainstream black disinformation than I am.
I say naive because Cox expects ~~George Bush
to be a President for all the American people,TT
after he accuses Bush of winning ~~the election by
flat out racist tactics.TT Think logically about what
he is saying.
He deduces that the man he accuses of bigotry
will be color blind. ThatTs a contradiction " no,
thatTs wishful thinking. First, George Bush is not a
bigot and did not win because of racism. Second,
politics is a game of quid pro quo " you give to
me and I give to you " not a social game of scrab-
ble. Therefore, blacks gave Bush 12 percent of
their vote and Bush gives them 12 percent of his
attention.
Tony
Brown
Comments
Financial freedom breeds independence says Brown
CoxT logic consistently expects something for
nothing: You can spend all of your money with
white people and blame them for all of your pro-
blems. You can give the Democrats all of your
votes and expect the victorious Republicans to
politically reward you.
Logically, if logic were in vogue in the black
community, it is Jesse Jackson from whom blacks
should seek relief for their various miseries
because it is to Jesse Jackson that blacks surrender
their votes. If your political choice loses, so do
you. ThatTs the way the game of quid pro quo
politics is played.
I know that I run the risk of being run out of the
club for employing logic, instead of a constant
barrage of demagogic blaming of white people.
Cox proves this point: ~~When White America sees
people like Tony Brown blaming all our problems
on us, theyTre more than happy to jump on the
bandwagon " and blame us too.TT
Why should black people be concerned about
white opinion at all? Only if youTre dependent on
them financially, do you have to be. And you will
be so long as you spend 95 percent of your money
with them. We will be freed by the truth " not by
replacing white lies with black lies.
It seems to me that a more viable concern would
be a plan to retain a larger percentage of our in-
come, buy our freedom and let our resulting
economic and political power shape white opinic.
(since thatTs so important to so many blacks).
Cox seems to suggest, however, that if I and
other blacks who believe in self-help, instead of
white people " and white peopleTs goodwill "
emphasize our primary responsibility, especially in
the area of economics, in changing our condition,
we become the enemy.
This convoluted, mainstream, demagogic logic
proves that white racism is not the primary pro-
blem. It is an ignorance of the facts. Facts such as:
white people, no matter what you think they owe
you for slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, etc, are
not going to pay up; black people are generally
disliked and shunned; black people are near social
and economic extinction in America; and time is

forward to making it in a make-believe society
from which racism and poverty have been careful-
ly edited out.
The fact is that our children are dying of drugs,
of poverty, and despair. Who is responsible for
the killing? The white, corporate-controlled
media, all too often aided and abetted by the black
establishment " our professional politicians, our
professors, our ~~entrepreneursTT and our ~o~ex-
pertsTT " want us to think it is our fault. We are
told that we donTt teach our children the right
values, so they end up with a bad attitude, bad
friends, and bad morals. But I donTt believe that
we, or our children, are to blame, and I donTt
agree with the Joe Clarks of this world that the
solution to drugs and dropping out lies in beating
young people into obedience so that they can learn
how to fit into a society that has no room for
them, a society that neither wants nor values
them.

Taylor, has to say about it. Like Joe Clark, Ms.
Taylor is also a school principal. But she is not a
Dr. Lenora
Fulani
Joe Clarks of the world have the wrong idea says Fulani
media-made celebrity, nor has she become a
heroine to the Powers That Be. Because Barbara
Taylor is not under the illusion that abuse equals
education. Ms. Taylor is the founder of an in-
dependent, community-based day care center and
elementary school in Harlem which bears her
name.
o~At the Barbara Taylor School we teach the
children that they need to be political,�T she says.
~And what we mean by being political is knowing
whatTs going on in the real world and being willing
to take the necessary risks to change it. Because
when children donTt do that, they just end up get-
ting used, and abused, and then told that itTs for
their own good. ThatTs how the Democratic Party
and the: Republican: Party, treat, the black com- |
munity, andthatTs-how Joe Clark treats the kids in "
his school. Our educational philosophy is based
on a theory and practice of empowerment, not ad-
justment to oppression.�T
Unlike Joe Clark, who has earned a name for
himself " and the admiration of Ronald Reagan
" by abusing black people (in the name of educa-
tion, and unlike the makers of ~~Lean On Me,�T
who (in the name of entertainment) stand to make
huge profits from it, an organization of pro-
gressive educators helping professionals and at-
torneys called the Association for the Develop-
ment of Social Therapy has adopted the Barbara
Taylor School as an experiment in bridging the
gap between professional workers and the com-
munity. The ADST has comntitted itself to sup-
porting the BT School through a sustainer pro-
gram, fund-raising, research, promotion, and
training.
The Barbara Taylor School and the ADST are,
together, fighting back against a system that
makes entertainment out of our childrenTs
degradation, a system that makes heroes of those
who perpetrate violence against them, a system
that without fundamental change, offers our
children only the future of the ghetto " drugs,
despair, violence, and death.
Life expectancy for whites continues to rise
while that for blacks declined for two years in a
row, the first time thatTs happened in this century.

The social disorganization caused by deep
poverty and discrimination has serious negative
on African American health.
Public health crisis should be at top of agenda says Jacob
It will probably come as a shock to most
Americans who think that Medicaid solved the
issue of access to health care, to learn that most
poor people are not covered by Medicaid.
A dozen years ago, it served only about two-
thirds of the poor. Today, only a little more than a
third of poor people are enrolled in Medicaid.
Tightened eligibility requirements and attempts to
control costs have made Medicaid a promise, not a
reality. So we need national eligibility standards
that assure Medicaid coverage for all poor people.
Another barrier to access to health care is lack
of private or employer-paid health insurance.
Some 37 million Americans " one out of every six
" donTt have health insurance. Another 50
million have inadequate coverage " policies that
donTt cover major medical expenses.
People in low wage jobs do not usually get ade-
quate insurance coverage, although they need it
most. Nearly half of all uninsured adults are in the
labor force and most of them earn less than
$10,000. They canTt afford to buy their own
coverage and they are often ineligible for
Medicaid.

likely as whites to be poor, so they form a
