He has brought us from disgrace to amazing grace. But as a black race, a lot of us seem to have forgotten just how far we have come. Some of us have even turned a little white along the way. But go back and take a look in the mirror. Our ancestors and forefathers didn‘t go through beatings, rapes, and killings for us to forget where we‘ve come from. So we need to go back occasionally and take inventory of our lives, just as businesses and the retail stores do to see how much progress they have made. I‘ve taken the time to go back and take inventory to the best of my knowledge and ability on how far the black race has come. First of all we have come from: Nigger to Colored. Colored to Negro. Negro to Black. And now we want to go from Black to African-American. I recently read a magazine ar- ticle that states that our first name was nigger. Our middle name was boy or gal. And our last name was John. Need I say more on racism. Secondly, we have gone through: Slavery to Freedom. Emancipation Proclamation to the Declaration of Independence. Declaration of Independence to the Civil Rights Amendment and Equal Rights. Cotton fields to fac- tories. Schools to Universities. Segregation to Intergration. Mid—Wives to OB/GYN.

Douglas Wilder and Re- publican nominee J. Marshall Coleman exchanged sharp criti- cisms Thursday about their de- bate schedules. The heightened campaign hos- tilities between the candidates arrives in the wake of last week's abandoned debate between Wil- der and Coleman. In Virginia Beach last week, | Wilder refused to debate Cole- man because he said Republican | campaign workers had violated a | pre-debate agreement prohibit- ' ing videotaping debates between the candidates. Wilder feared that Coleman, Virginia's former attorney gen- Ve peectae ada’ tt ded Cb thaw 2 ae eR a ow clits cid beled nails odo to ca eral, would use the videotape to his disadvantage in campaign commercials. In a letter to Wilder dated Thursday, Coleman said the Democratic nominee was trying to “duck the tough questions” about his record. “Your insistence on rebroad- cast restrictions suggests to many observers that you are re- luctant to respond to questions about your record before a mass audience of Virginia voters,” » cuits idee! evans EN Pee ee eae ee . Coleman said in the letter. “This is not the last time you have canceled a scheduled joint appearance in a fit of pique, and | do not intend to permit such an episode to occur again, ” Cole- man said. Wilder, also in a letter dated Thursday, had asked Coleman to attend a scheduled debate be- tween the two candidates at the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce on Aug. 18. Coleman, in lieu of all pre- viously scheduled debates be- tween the candidates, has chal- lenged Wilder to two televised debates in the fall. Wilder, in a letter dated Thurs- day to the Fairfax County Cham- ber of Commerce, said Coleman , 4 cdi hide hn F's ind ily eg (Voice photo by Jim Rouse) LOOKING GOOD...

(Voice photo by Bill Booth) Constitutional Ignorance BY: WALTER E. WILLIAMS Congress has been rocked by scandals; but, we have little understanding of, much less a desire to eliminate, the fun- damental causes of the mess. At the root of former House Speaker Jim Wright’s scandal, among others, is a national contempt for constitutional principles and equality before the law. A couple of months ago, I received an exchange of letters between a private citizen and Rep. Augustus Hawkins, D-Calif. Hawkins was asked to cite the for candidates had agreed not to film debates and he expects him to honor that agreement during the Fairfax de- bate. “Both campaigns apoed to the format and rules ... Mr. Coleman changed his mind and now con- tends that he will not agree to re- strictions on the broadcast or re- broadcast of debates,” Wilder said. “I am confident that an agreement can be reached to the mutual satisfaction of all par- ties.” But agreement seems unlikely in the Coleman camp. To avoid future debate cancel- lations, Coleman said he would not rebroadcast the debates if Wilder a to debate him twice in the fall on television.

Voice will be tempered down, enunciation and pronunciation can be improv- ed. To speak before a mirror is necessary, too, for personality and audience contact purposes. A timer or a watch or clock to stay within the time limit is a must also. William Raspberry’s Tues- day’s article, ‘Save the Boys. . . Please‘ (Daily Reflector) stated ‘that children unlucky enough to be born into single-parent households are, if not doomed, at least at serious disadvantage; that so much of what has gone wrong in America, including the frightening growth of the poverty-stricken, crime-ridden and black underclass, can be traced to the disintegra- tion of the family structure and we can’t rescue America’s families unless we make up our minds to save the boys‘.

Parents, teach your children about birth, babies and sex before they hear it from misin- formed sources. Remember, too, that a large portiion of your child’s understanding of sex and love in marriage will come from their viewing the relationship bet- ween you and your spouse. If you are unaffectionate with your spouse- if your child never sees you hug, kiss or hold hands with each other—chances are that he or she will grow up to be undemonstrative and unaffe- cionate adult. Set the right exam- ple! A level headed approach to sex from the early years will pro- duce an adult able to handle his or her sexuality wisely and responsibly. If a father treats his young daughter with respect as a fem.inine young woman - opening doors for her, respecting her privacy, treating her with love and kindness—this is the type of behavioir she will look for and ex- spect in a man later on. If her father does not show love and fatherly affection and concern toward her, she will have no stan- dards by which to judge proper masculine behavior. Mothers, too, must exhibit the traits to their sons—traits tt they would like to see in th future daughters-in-law. One way to tell if your are fat is to squeeze a fold on your ab- | domen. It should be no thicker — than your thumb for women or — your little finger for men. 4 This summer we encourage the ' nation’s youth to enjoy their time - off and have fun, but be careful. | Never drink and drive. Obey the © speed limit. Don’t show off when you are behind the wheel. : Cliff and Claire Huxtable of — ‘The Cosby Show‘ have an ‘ideal’ family. In the Huxtable | household, consistent rules govern family relationships. Hus- — band and wife lovingly cooperate, yet each is free to be an in- dividual. Each child feels that he or she matters. And all problems are solved before the last commercial. Wouldn’t it be great if all families functioned that way? But real-life conflict is not so easi- ly resolved. The home increas- ingly has become a center of discord and trouble. Child abuse, spouse abuse, hidden crimes and domestic violence, divorce, affect both Christian and non-Christian families. Too many homes are on outpost of hell, instead of a parcel of paradise. When Christ is the center of the life of each family member, he can be Lord in the fammily. Rela- tionships at home can be har- monious as each person loves the other with God’s love. ‘The greatest thing that a father can , do for his children is to love their mother‘. Why put off making your will?

STRESS-FREE VACATION TRAVEL { The idea of the perfect vacation is to leave all of your anxieties behind and relax. But how many of us arrange vacation travel to include too many sightseeing trips to crowded tourist traps that require standing in long lines in the heat? If you want to eliminate as many travel-induced anxieties as possible, follow these guidelines as outlined by mental health professionals. Don’t over schedule your vaca- tion. Enjoy the luxury of wasting time. Leave your frantic schedule at home and don’t try to do too much sightseeing in any one day. Don’t take too much luggage. Keeping track of bags (and lugg- ing them around) will only add stress to your vacation. Don’t wait until the last minute to pack. Avoid pretravel jitters by organizing what you will take at least a day before-hand. Get plenty of rest the night before your vacation begins and include lots of good sleep while traveling. Nothing helps eliminate stress like a good night’s sleep. Don’t let rude salespeople, waiting in lines or delayed flights anger you. Save your energy for sightseeing and don’t let little an- noyances ruin your trip. If you have strong fears about flying, discuss the need for mild sedation with your physician prior to the trip.

In fact, certain fears are characteristic of age and stage of development. For example: Birth to 1 year old fears include: separation from parents; loud noises such as fire alarms, vacuum cleaners, and sirens; strangers, and heights. 2 year old fears include: separation from parents, loud noises, unfamiliar people, flashing lights, changes in en- vironment, doctors, dark rooms, “and large objects such as heavy equipment. 3 to 5 year old fears include: darkness, monsters, ghosts, animals, thunder and lightning, being alone, getting lost, injury to self and parents and death. Finding out the cause of the fears is half the battle for parents. Very young children, however, do not have the words to communicate what they are afraid of. They just know something is scary. Their behavior will give you clues about their fears.

This way the child has a reminder of you that is available for reasurance. Also, something of yours lets your child know for sure that you will return. 3) Help your child by talking about all the fun things (s)he will do each day while you‘re away. BUGS AWAY! Mosiquitoes, gnats and flies can aggravate your child during warm weather. If your child will be playing outside, a little insect repellent is a good way to keep the bugs away. Don‘t go over- board with the repellent by using too much. If your child does get bitten, apply a mixture of lukewarm water and a few drops of baking soda to the affected area. Bees can usually be found near flower beds, bripe fruit, outdoor garbage cans, and near people. Bright colored clothing, cologne, or scented lotions attract bees.

Why did God protect the Quran and not the Old and New Testaments? As long as God was sending prophets to remind us of our duties, there wasn’t a need to “protect the written word. Especially since most of it came about through oral tradition. When Jesus came, he verified the portions of scripture which were true. He also made it clear that there was much to come after him, that even what he brought was incomplete. So it stands to reason that what was revealed before him was also incomplete and vulnerable. None can say with certainty that Jesus wrote his Gospel. General belief is he did write a Gospel, which his disciples followed and taught from. They clustered close together after he left them teaching in and near the temple. They had a strong Jewish following. This alone suggests that the disciples taught the oneness of god and did not place Jesus on an equal footing with god. The disciples were instructed by Jesus to teach only the Israelites. The burden of teaching and spreading God’s word was the responsibility of Abraham’s descendants. They had paid the price for the privilege—they knew how strongly God hated pagan worship. In the pagan at- mosphere of the Romans, the teachings of Christ and all of his miracles came into the hands of the Gentiles. The Gentiles could only comprehend the teachings of Christ by comparing his teachings to their pagan con- IBD! OBTAINING A MORTGAGE = cepts.

When Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD, many of Jesus’ followers were killed, and much of their writings including the Gospel of Jesus were lost or destroyed with the city. This was an unfortunate circumstance for Christianity because’ the teachings of Christ had not yet solidified into a true New Testa- ment. However, the destruction of Jerusalem caused many Jews to flee into Arabia. There amongst the Arab tribes they taught what they could of Jesus’ teachings and predicted a There are three basic types of mortgage loans available to the consumer: Federal Housing Administration, Veterans Administration and conventional. Below is a brief explanation of each. FHA Mortgage An FHA mortgage loan is made by a lender and insured by the Federal Housing Administration. A borrower pays FHA a fee to insure the mortgage. Normally, this fee is financed as part of the mortgage payment. Two advantages of this type of mortgage can be a lower interest rate and a lower down payment. Also, you have the option to finance your closing costs. FHA loans can have either a fixed or adjustable interest rate. VA Mortgage A VA mortgage loan is made by a lender to eligible military veterans. It is guaranteed by the Veterans Administration.

Loans secured with less than a 20 percent down payment, however, require the borrower to purchase private mortgage insurance, which protects the lender in the event the borrower defaults on the loan.
