Shown with Mr.and Mrs. Williams is their lovely daughter.(Voice photo by Jim Rouse)WE TVE COME A LONG WAYBY: DEACON JAMES VINESAs I came closer to the streetwhere all the comotion was, Icould see a large crowd of peoplegathered in the street. I met anold lady coming from the crowdand she was hysterical wringingher hands and trying to talk. Ijust couldn Tt understand what shewas saying, but I did figure outthat she was trying to tell me howhorrible the situation was. I tookher by the arm and led her to thefront porch of a house not farfrom where the incident had hap-pened. After she had gottenherself together she finally beganto talk so that I could understandher. So I left her and went up tothe crowd and as I pushed myway through the crowd to get abetter look, I could see smokecoming from the windows anddoors of the house. I came closeto a cousin of mine who was thereand ask her what had happened,and she told me that they wereshooting tear gas in the lady Tshouse trying to make her comeout, but she still insisted that she .had done no wrong and was notcoming out. I later found out thatsomeone had called the policeand told them that she had a gunni cmsumanensand was shooting at every onethat past the street, and when thepolice arrived they never stoppedto investigate to see if she reallydid have a gun. After shewouldn Tt come out the police con-tinued to shoot tear gas throughthe windows. After about fiveminutes they began to shoot inthe window and doors until shedecided to come out. As she open-ed the door she had something inher hand that one of the officerssaid was a gun, which turned outto be a large silver spoon. I push-ed my way through the crowd un-til I was just about to the front ofthe house where I could seeeverything that was going on, butwhat I saw I wished I had goneanother way. It was a pitiful sightto see the way the officers weredragging her out of the house andacross the yard where they lether lay there dying and in verymuch pain. I watched as long asI could and then I turned and ranback home to tell my mother butshe had heard what was going onand was on her way down thereto see for herself. I kept going andwas so sick in my stomach afterseeing a seventy year old womenlaying out there and nobody coulddo anything about it. We didn Tthave any kind of organizations tohelp us, so whatever happened tocolored folk then was just doneand kept down to keep it here andkeep it quite. If you happen tospeak out about how we weretreated it would be hard to get ajob or anything to keep yourfamily going. After all of this andother acts of violence were madeagainst us we decided to do theonly thing that was left for us todo and that was to unite inprayer.For the next five or six weeksthings were very sad for all of uswho were there to witness suchaterrible sight, and every one of uswas afraid to be seen on the streetafter dark, because of the curfewthat the Chief of Police hadissued. This is our final chapterof ~ ~We Tve Come a Long Way, �until after the book by the samename has been published. I wouldlike to thank all of you who haveread the tru and real life storyand we do hope that you will besure to buy the book.It Ts time for Black Americans to act! City razes safety hazardsIn the heady days of the T60sand T70s there weren Tt enoughblack conservatives to get agame of pinochle going. Blackconservatives are still nothing towrite home about, but their num-bers are on the upswing. Conser-vatism may not be the ultimatephilosophical home for blacks, butit Ts a fairly safe bet it won Tt beliberalism. Liberalism has donemore harm to blacks that one-time Georgia Gov. Lester ~ Maddox, Mississippi's TheodoreBilbo, who wanted to deport allblack Americans, and all theKlansmen could have ever done.Let Ts look at it. The liberalphilosophy that criticized chastesex mores had its most devastat-ing impact on blacks, havinggiven up traditional values, whereblack teen illegitimacy was oncelower than whites (1918), and totalblack illegitimacy was 13 percent(1939), today Ts black illegitimacyis 55 percent. Kids living in two-parent families are down to lessthan 50 percent whereit once stoodat 85 percent.Criminal coddling is anothercomponent of liberal philoso-phy; ithas made life a nightmarefor many blacks, Murder is thechief cause of death for youngblack males. In some black neigh-borhoods, people don Tt dare gonear their windows, or they sleepon the floor for fearof being hit bystray bullets. In some neighbor-hoods, delivery menandtelephonerepairmen refuse to service Cus-tomers or demandescortsfor fearof robbery and assault. There Tsthe mass destruction of publictelephones, parks, swimmingpools, and other amenities im-portant to poor people who maynot be able to afford privatephones, or visit national parks, orswim at country clubs.The same liberals blessed thenation with widespread drug us-age. Those who argued againstLSD, marijuana, and cocainewere portrayed as cranks andpariahs interfering with goodclean fun. Laughter and ridiculegreeted the person who suggestedthese drugs might lead to addic-tion. Now drugs are in, They;vehad their worst effect on blacks,turning youths into rap-talkingzombies and pushers, and blackneigh yds into Beiruts.Liberals virtually destroyedany chances for black academic.excellence, Their early battle wasagainst standard thatis, ocourses ir elevar tesladards which they portrayed asirrelevantBY: WALTER E. WILLIAMSteachers and fellow students, andhave a contentless curriculum.Today, large numbers of blackstudents cannot begin to meetacademic qualifications for ad-mittance to colleges. But not toworry, liberals attacked collegetests and academic standards asracist.It Ts high time that blacks real-ize that many politicians, judges,police, and school authorities holdcontempt for their right to livenormal, peaceful, productivelives. Black politicians, ~ ~leaders, � Tand civilrights organizations havesold us a bill of goods rotten goods,double-talk, and unconscionabledeceit. For example, they fighttooth and nail against proposalsfor tuition tax credits or schoolvouchers to give parents an edu-**cational choice for their children.They say, let Ts save public schoolsand not give up hope. Yet the goodRev. Jesse Jackson, Del. WalterFauntroy (D-D.C.), and D.C.Mayor Marion Barry, and others,send their children to privateBlacks cannot depend on poli-ticians. They must protect theirown neighborhoods, even if thatmeans using violence to clean updrug corners and crackhouses.They must show up on schoolpremises to mete out instant jus-tice to miscreants. ~ ~Williams, � Tyousay, ~ ~that sounds like vigilan-tism. � T Well, Isay: What doyoudowhen established legal authori-ties refuse to do their job just sitand take it? And for how long?City. crews today demolished afive-room wooden house on Flem-ing Street under a City Council �ordeg, which found the structurei. efrous afid prejudicial to thepublic health and public safety T.The demolotion was the secondfollowing a May 11 decision bythe Council to remove dilapidatedstructures no longer fit forhabitation. The owners, the JohnLangley heirs, had been orderedto repair or raze the building at1002 Fleming Street. When Itheowners failed to act, the citymanager ordered Greenville TsPublic Works Department tobulldoze the house. The heirs willbe billed for demolition and, fail-ing to pay, will have a lien plac-ed against the property so Citytaxpayers are repaid.Making Your Dream A RealityBlack Americans have longbeen short on patience. This isparticularly true when it comes toowning a business. Corporatemergers, stock market fraud, theinstability of the Savings andLoans Industry have brought thisnation to the brink of financialbankruptcy. It is small wonderthat the vast majority feel that aweekly or monthly paycheck isfar more appealing than the un-certainty of self-employment.The Small Business Administra-tion estimates that eighty percentBY ARCHIE A. HARDINGof all beginning businesses fail. Ahigh percentage of these failures,they conclude, is due to under-capitalization - that is, insufficientfunds to conduct business effec-tively, This, I agree may well betrue on the national level, but thedeath of most Black- Owned busi-nesses can be attributed to theabsence of enthusiasm and per-sistence.I have had the opportunity tostudy the deeds of men both greatand small. I have discovered thatthe main ingredient that separatesgreatness from mediocrity is en-thusiasm and persistence. Cur-rently, there are more than onehundred Black-owned businessesin Beaufort County. Some are lessthan one year old; (The ChristianGift Shop on Main Street), othershave existed for more than a halfa century; (Randolph FuneralHome). Enthusiasm and persis-tence has Played or will play akey role in their success or failurerate.(Continued on page 4)Garrett named divisional nurse of the yearGeorgia Garrett, a registerednurse at Pitt County MemorialHospital, was recently namedSurgery Division Nurse of theYear.Garrett received an engravedplaque, long-stem rose and a $100voucher for professional use.

Thatfact alone makes David Dinkins Trun for mayor of particular sig-nificance.As a Black man, Dinkins Tstrategists have had to be evermindful of race and racism inacity that has become in recentyears more notorious than Ala-bama and Mississippi for raciallydriven incidents.Dictators are not welcome here!!Sese Seko Mobutu, the self-appointed president-for-life ofZaire (formerly known as theCongo), arrived in New York Citylast week en route to Washington,DC where he was scheduled tomeet with President George Bush.Dozens of protesters were wait-ing at the Waldorf Astoria Hotelwhere Mobutu was staying inNewYork to let this vicious dictatorand abuser of human rights knowthat he was not welcome here!The protest was supported by abroad range of student organiza-tions, long-time anti-Mobutu andanti apartheid activist groups,grassroots citizens T lobbies, com-munity organizations and othersconcerned with the struggle fordemocracy here, and around theworld; they included the US-CongoFriendship Committee, the All-African Peoples RevolutionaryParty, the New Alliance Party,the Rainbow Lobby the PatriceLumumba Coalition and theAmerican Arab Relations Com-mittee, which are leading thegrassroots moyement that iscoming to oppose this greedy ty-rant whocame to power a quarterof a century her after collaborat-ing with the CIA to assassinatePatrice Lumumba, the father ofCongolese independence.The hero Ts welcome given toMobutu by the President of theUnited States was a profound in-sult to the Black people of thiscountry and to our African sistersand brothers. We should not besurprised by it; insults to theAfrican American communitycome natural to the white su-premacist leaders of both themajor parties. But the complicityof some among our official Blackleadership in the scheme to makean international peacemaker outof a murderous thug such as SeseSeko Mobutuis nothing less thanabetrayal of Black people every-where.Last fall this ally of apartheidhosted an official visit to Zairefrom P.W. Botha, the prime min-ister of South Africa; when Zairianstudents took to the streets of .Kinshasa, the capital, to protestthis despicable act, they are shotdown in cold blood by Mobuto Tssoldiers.This gunrunner has allowedZaire to be used as a conduit forthe arms that the United Statessupplies to the contras of Angola,Jonas Savimbi Ts South African/US-subsidized UNITA mercenar-ies, in their 14 year effort to bringdown the popular MPLA govern-ment of Jose Eduardo dos Santos.Now Mobutuis being promoted bythe White House as the elderstatesmen of Africa, a peace-lov-ing friend of democracy who isly bringing the 14year old Angolan ocivil war T toanend. Nothing couldbe further fromthe truth.The myth which the corporate-owned media are helping to pro-moteis partof anelaborate publicrelations now underwayto clean up to Ts image socan go on serving as thet man for US policy in south-& RUE AD this dictator into at. And no movement ofwrpet can cover up the trailand Kinshasa toOne news report says that theDinkins strategy is cautious andconservative: solidify his baseamong Blacks, union members,White liberals and Hispanics whovoted for Jesse Jackson in 1988.Then he must go after enoughmoderate Jewish voters and WhiteCatholics otowin 40 percent of the primaryvote needed to avoid a run off...Dinkins would win easily if hereceived 75 percent of the Blackvote, 50 percent of the Hispanicvote and 25 percent of the Whitevote, � speculated The New YorkTimes.Race and racism are given intoday Ts New York. Even thenumbers tell the story. A pollshowed that 37 percent of regis-tered Democrats will vote forDinkins and 24 percent for MayorEdward Koch. But ina one-on-onewith Mayor Edward Koch, Dink-ins gets 32 percent of the Whitevote while Koch carries 46 per-cent (only 14 percent of Blacksare for Koch).But Black and White NewYorkers do agree on one thing;they see drugs and crime as thenumber one and two problemsrespectively. Dinkins should seethis finding as the possible solu-tion to the race problem that isalmost inevitable. ~As racial tension builds, bothBlacks and Whitesare more likelyto vote for people of their own»* eommented a White politi-tant. That means thatthe first full-blown controversyover Black anti-Semitism or aviolent incidentof a Black againsta White during the hot, summermonths could devastate Dinkins Tchances.Dinkins can Tt control that fac-tor because some fool somewhereis going to do something foolish.Therefore, to move the focus awayfrom race (and racism), Dinkinsshould concentrate on drugs alegitimate concern and equallydevastating to all racial and so-cio-economic groups.The magnitude of the problemis staggering and obvious to ev-eryone, it seems, but the politi-cians. In 1985, only four percent ofNew Yorkers said that drugsshouldbe the number one concernfor the mayor, This year, 37 per-cent feel that way. Crime is adistant second at about 25 per-cent.Dinkins could penetrate thisfertile market by explaining thatwhile Whites generally regarddrugs as a Black problem, drugusage is more prevalent amongThis Way For Black Empowermentman Ron Dellums has introducedH.R. 1899, which would cut off USaid to the Mobutu regime untilthere is some improvement inZaire Ts abysmal human rightssituation.Iam glad to say thata majorityof Mr. Dellums T colleagues in theCongressional Black Caucus sup-port this very crucial legislation.I am ashamed and angry to saythat notall of them do. Some of ourestablishment Black leadershipare lending their names and influ-ence to perpetrate the myth thatthis traitor is an African hero.Congressman Mervyn Dymally ofCalifornia, Mobuto Ts best friendon Capitol Hill, is a case in point.He continues to lead the opposi-tion to H.R. 1899.But the groundswell of grass-roots opposition to Mobutu isbeginning to have an effect. Sofar, despite the efforts of his apolo-gists, he has been successfullykept out of the African Americancommunity. A scheduled visit toLos Angeles in March " stagemanaged by Mr. Dymally and acircle of African American busi-nesspeople, with Mayor TomBradley poised to serve asMobuto Ts official host " wasabruptly calledoff. More recentlyJames Usry, the mayor of Atlan-tic City, New Jersey and the presi-dent of the National Conference ofBlack Mayors, backed out of along-planned, all-expense-paidtrio to Zaire with the excuse thathe had a prior commitment tojudge the Miss Tennessee beautypageant! And Mayor MarionBarry of Washington also bowedto pressure from the growing anti-Mobutu movement " withoutacknowledging it "and explainedthat the reception he had beenplanning to give for Mobutu lastSunday was being canceled be-cause the Zairian dictator wasneeded in Africa to continue hispeacemaking efforts.The walls of Jericho are begin-ning to crumble; they have notfallen yet. We have achieved aclear victory in making Mobutupersons non grata in the Blackcommunity. But when he returnedto Kinshasa he did not leaveempty-handed. No doubt he andWhites. And Blacks could be |appealed to on the basis that theyare more frequently the victimsof crime which is drug related.These twoissues, properly articu-lated, will appeal to 62 percent ofthe voters and avoid the entrap-ment of racism.by nai slp Dinkins mostybeingcool, = = =ONY BROWN TS JOURNALTV series can be seen ontelevision Sunday on Channel 25at 1:30 p.m.Please consult listings.The Real Congressional| CorruptionBy: Walter E. WilliamsI really get tired of all the na-tional focus on the cloud of sleazeand corruption surrounding for-mer House Speaker Jim Wright.It Ts like fiddling while Romeburns. The harm that members ofCongress do to the nation, operat-ing inthe shadows, is no match forwhat they do to us in the full lightof day.The Dallas-based NationalCenter for Policy Analysis re-cently issued a report titled ~ ~TheElderly "People the Supply-SideRevolution Forgot. � While ournation has a shortage of percentof all women 65 and over arecompletely retired. If just one-r ~DR. LENORA FULANIMr. Bush renewed the contractthat makes Sese Seko Mobutuamong the highest paid agents onthe payroll of U.S. imperialism.We need to keep the pressure up.I am calling on all of the Blackleaders to let this dictator knowthat he is not welcome here. TheAfrican American community isinsulted by his pressure, and weare outraged that anyone claim-ing to represent Black peoplewould dare to honor him.Dr. Lenora Fulani is the nationalchairperson of the New AllianceParty and a practicing SocialTherapist in Harlem. She can becontacted at the New AllianceParty, 2032 Fifth Avenue, NewYork, NY 10027 and at (212) 996-4700.WithoutAdvertisingA TerribleThingHappens...NOTHINGthird of the male retirees reen-tered the labor force and earnedas little as $5 per hour, the grossnational product (GNP) wouldriseby $55 billion; and if just one-thirdof the women retirees accompa-nied them, the GNP would in-crease by $132 billion.Social security and our taxstruc-ture go a long way toward ex-plaining this disgraceful waste ofvaluable human resources. WhenCongress created social securityin 1935, only one-third of those over60 were retired. Beginning in 1956,people were allowed to opt forearly retirement. By 1961, only 16percent of all social security re-cipients were early retirees com-pared to 66 percent in 1985.Congress has given the elderlya tax incentive to leave theworkforce as well. As of 1988,social security recipients betweenthe ages of 62 and 64 are countedas retired if they earn $6,480 orless; if they are 65 to 70, thatnumber rises to $8,800. If recipi-ents earn more, they lose $1 insocial security benefits for each$2 earned "a 50% marginal taxrate.As if that Ts not bad enough, lastyear Congress expanded Medi-care to include catastrophic bene-fits. Under this new law, all in-come tax payers 65 and over willhavetopaya 15 percent surchargeto Medicare next April. Congressis being nice this year. The sur-charge limit is $800 per retiree, or$2,100 per couple. That Ts on top ofthe ;$383 retirees now pay inMedicare premiums, whichis alsodestined to increase in the future.Don Tt you want to regurgitatewhen congressmen preach aboutmaking American more competi-tive?What Congress is doing to theelderly and our country is a dis-grace, but we asked for it. Frenchphilosopher Frederic Bastiatreminds us that, ~Government isthe great fiction through whicheverybody endeavors to live at(Continued on page 9L.A Ts Black Poor Demand Law and Orderblood and tears that leads trom "sda, the capitalof Angola, andBy Mark R. THOMPSONLOS ANGELES- "The o ~wilding T T attackon a jogger in New York's Central Parkhas prompted much bemoaning of theioral indecency in American inner cities.George Will, for one, grimly prognosti-cated the fate of ~ ~a society that flinchesfrom the fact of evil," T while the Los Ange-les Times's syndicated columnist WilliamPfaff wrote despairingly of the ~moralvoid ... where too many people in theUnited States today exist." These commen-tators apparently haven't heard the des-perate cry for law and order from the un-derclass of Los Angeles.Compton, Watts, and other communitiesin the vast sweep of South Central Los An-yeles have been torn apart by gang war-fare. Fatalities are accumulating at therate of six or eight a week. The death tollsets new records each year. Most of thepéople living in the crime-ridden neighbor-hoods haven't flinched for a minute fromthe fact that what is going on around themis evil. Judging from their letters to the ed-itor of the Los Angeles newspapers, theslogans they chant at rallies, and their rou-tinely overwhelming o ~yes T T votes on policetaxes and anti-crime measures, the peoplecaught in the gangs T crossfire want morecops on the streets and want to give crimi-nals a much harder time.Diverging ReactionsTo be sure, the black leadership in Los:Angeles doesn't always reflect the blackcommunity's attitude toward crime. TakeDon Jackson, a L.A. area police officer onpermanent disability leave because of thestress he says was caused by racism in hisdepartment. He has attempted to prove hisallegations of routine racist brutality inthe police force by provoking confronta-sii4i:reviews. o Ibandwagon to accuse white policetality when a black manstepped on and call conferences andcils together if a cop fails to read blackman his rights,"" wrote R. Masada, chair-=Trea black women's civic association, in a let-ter to the Los Angeles Herald Examiner inMarch. ~These same black leaders haveyet to call a town meeting on the numberof black females who are raped, robbed,beaten and murdered . . . by violent blackpredators in a continuous and ongoing ho-locaust that no one [has] dared [to] speakout against. �Maybe the black leadership hasn'tdared to speak out. But ordinary blackpeople have spoken loudly and repeatedlyin favor of tougher action against crime.hoods covered by those sweeps seem to bethe biggest "and most stubborn "fans ofthe mass police sweeps launched withmuch fanfare a year ago. The police at-tempt to arrest suspected gang membersof any possible offense, from drug orweapon possession to jaywalking. Becausethe jails and the court system can Tt handlethe huge haul of petty offenders draggedin by the sweeps, the police are now rely-ing more on surgical strikes against gangleaders, preferably in conjunction with fed-eral agents so that the cases can be filed in oI don Tt care tf I see a soldier on every corner as longas my child will be able to get to school safely, �said one mother, after a two-year-old was gunned down. oI don Tt care if I see a soldier on everycorner as long as I know my child will beable to get to school and back homesafely, � said Pat Moore, who organized animpromptu March of 100 people in Febru-ary through the streets of Compton a fewdays after a two-year-old boy was gunneddown nearby.Another mother in South Central LosAngeles last year, in response to an opin-ion piece in the Herald Examiner, bitterlyrebuked those who complain that anti-gangtactics are infringing cherished rights. Theop-ed piece, called oGangbusting at the ex-pense of the Constitution, � was written bya suburban father who was upset that hisson couldn't wear an earring to school.with other gang-associated garb. That sub-urban father, Cassandra Clark replied, oshould allow his son to come to dinner atmy house one evening. Let him take theé3::::=séthe relatively efficient federal courts.The people of South Central Los Ange-les, however, want more sweeps and havemounted sporadic petition drives to callin the National Guard. Black voters inSouth Central Los Angeles have demon-strated repeatedly that they are the mostpro-police constituency in the city. Twicein the past eight years, South Centralvoters have approved police taxes by ma-jorities topping 70%. But these revenue-raising measures have been shot down byvoters in conservative white districts. Iteven looked for a while in 1987 as thoughprograms, a move that is expected to putseveral thousand young offenders back outon the streets. As a practical matter, thatmeans the myriad minor crimes that aremost common and that do most to spread asense of lawlessness through a commu:nity "vandalism, petty theft, juvenile drugand weapon possession "are simply unpun-ishable.Far too often, the people of South Cen-tral Los Angeles have been thanked fortheir pro-police convictions by police insen-sitivity and sometimes outright brutality.Among the recent cases of police miscon-duct, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Departmenthas confirmed that deputies have burnedcrosses in the jail wings housing blackgang members "surely not the sort oftough tactic many blacks in Los Angeleshave been seeking. And the Long Beachpolice chief, after a ~ ~sting T T of his own, re-cently confirmed what blacks in his cityhave long complained about: some officersdo not file, as they are obliged to, com-plaints of police misconduct phoned in bycitizens,The NAACP Comes AroundAnd finally, the people in South CentralLos Angeles have too often been betrayedby their own leaders. The Los Angeleschapter of the NAACP, for example, clungfor years to the view that crime wascaused primarily by racial discrimination,and was therefore not worth much of thegroup's attention. Until recently, NAACPofficials would respond ono comment T T toquestions from reporters about the gangviolence that was taking hundreds of blacklives. In the face of the increasing vio-lence "and ever louder and more desper-ate calls for protection from it " theNAACP has finally come around,In announcing the association's new line

RowellFirst of four partsIf you are in the market for a new home and are seeking a mortgage,you are not alone. In 1988, there were more than 4 million homes purchased inthe United States.Before obtaining a mortgage loan, it is helpful to havean overall knowledge of the loan qualification process,loan types and products, loan product terminology and toknow key questions to ask a lender.This month Ts column is about loan qualification, and theother topics will be covered in the next three columns.The Loan Qualification ProcessEach lender uses standard criteria in the mortgage loanqualification process. Although the process may vary hh.slightly from one loan to another, the ratio method fre-quently is used to determine the amount of mortgage you Robert A. Rowellcan afford. This method compares income and expenses. There are two ratiosto consider.The first is the front ratio, which is housing expenses divided by gross monthlyincome. Your monthly housing expenses include mortgage payment (principaland interest), real estate taxes and insurance. These payments of principal,interest, taxes and insurance are known as the PITI payment. The front rationormally should not exceed 28 percent.The other ratio to consider is the back ratio, defined as monthly ob! igationsdivided by gross monthly income. Monthly obligations include the PITI pay-ment, car payments, credit card payments and any personal loan payments. Asa rule, your back ratio should not exceed 36 percent.Here is an example of how these ratios work:Scott is a salesman and earns $35,000 annually. His wife, Jennie, works as anaccountant and earns $25,000 annually. Their combined total annual incomeis $60,000.veil $60,000Monthly Gross Income = 12 months = $5,000$5,000 x 28 percent = $1,400 allowable for the PITI payment$5,000 x 36 percent = $1,800 allowable for the PITI paymentand all monthly obligations.In summary the above couple qualifies for a house payment of up to $1,400,the lower of the two amounts.East Carolina UniversitySales Clerk IISales Clerk II needed for the Supply Depart-ment.
