BY: SANDRA DUPREE BOYD You can hear this question often asked. Especially in the churches. I understand that a considerable number of our black protect a baby, and most of all to provide for that baby. Rev. Jackson also stated that we need to improve ourselves individually. Black men must realize that no matter how much they may run away from their problems, their make, the cars you drive, and your ability to prove yourself sex- ually, bring a new meaning to your manhood by proving your ability to provide and protect your family, maybe our children will too. 5. Say yes to hanging in their males are in prison. And what are not in prison, you'll find some of them in the streets. Our black men are suppose to be their families friends, fathers, leaders, husbands, and role models. But it seems as though © they are more our public enemy No. 1. There’s an old saying that, when the going gets tough; the tough get going. This saying describes some of our black men perfectly. ; As long as things are going their way, and smoothly, you can find them. But let one small thing go wrong and they’re ready to throw in the towel. Black men must learn to stop running away from their respon- sibilities and start shouldering some of the blame. Your families don’t need for you to run away from them when things go wrong. They need for you to run to them, so that you can change that wrong to a right together. with your families when times are bad, maybe your young men will too. 6. Spend some of that money in the Black community, maybe our children will too. 7. Make yourself go to church on Sunday, maybe our children will too. Learn to put your faith in God and He will deliver you. When life hands lemons, make lemonade. Black families don’t want their black men to walk in front of them, nor do they want them to walk behind them either. They want you to walk beside them, and be their friend. And remember: The family that worships together, and prays together, will beat the odds and stay together. problems are not going to run. Those problems are going to ex- ist until they are solved. Families need their black men to laugh with them, cry with them, worship with them, and to be supportive of them. You would be surprised at the difference it can make in your life, your wife’s life, and at the top of the list, your children’s life. So if you want to make a change, try this: 1. If your black men and black women say no to drugs, maybe our children will too. 2. Say no to driving and drink- ing, maybe our children will too. 3. Say no to Anthony’s and Mr. C’s, maybe our children will too. 4. Rather than measuring your Ruby Tisdale promoted HONOR TO A GREAT LAWYER AND FRIEND... Powell.

Take a look at yourself and make a change. I saw a film not too long ago on the Rev. Jesse Jackson. Rev. Jackson stated that man has the power to kill, but also to heal. Man has the power to make a Chemists claims the AIDS virus was man made to kill off Blacks By HAROLD L. JAMISON Following extensive research into what causes AIDS, a local bio- chemist charges ‘‘AIDS is a U.S. government germ warfare creation deliberately given to Black Africans and Haitians in a plan to eradicate them from the face of the earth.” Jack Felder, a 49-year-old - Springfield Gardens, N.Y., biological-chemist with degrees in biology, chemistry and ap- plied science in engineering, charged in a carefully worded research paper ‘‘the AIDS virus is man-made and a_ bioen- gineered virus created by splic- ing or mixing together a virus in sheep called ‘visna virus’ and a retrovirus of cattle known as ‘bovine levkemia virus,’ which was then introduced into human beings.”’ Felder backs up his assertions with an impressive array of documentation accumulated from various sources around the world. “The fact that AIDS was a U.S. germs warfare creation was the headline and front page news of the Sunday Express newspaper in London, England on Oct. 26, 1986 and how AIDS was given to Black Africans and Haitians was clearly exposed in The London Times, May 11, 1987," Felder Stated. ‘‘The next day every country in the world U.S. media was silent on the issue. ‘‘For some strange rea- son,’ he rhetorically ques- tioned, ‘‘the story was killed.” “Reporters like Jon Rap- poport (a Los Angeles based in- vestigative reporter and author of “AIDS INC., Scandal of the Century’’), spoke to newspeople at the Associated Press in Washington, Boston and New York; Reuters at the United Na- tions; and the United Press In- ternational in New York. No one he interviewed had ever heard of the story out of London. With AIDS, the media have chosen not to become embroiled in the ques- tion of causation,” Rappoport ac- cuses in his book AIDS INC. “Media get their information from press people who work at universities and public health agencies, and who are fed HIV- dogma like popcorn. Why? he asked rhetorically, answering his own question. ‘Because the of- ficial line daily newspapers print comes down from NHI (National Health Institute) and CDC (Center for Disease Control). Writers from dailies don’t get paid to do research in bio-medi- cal libraries, to put together pieces of information they ac- tually dig up on their own from medical literature or human sources. ‘“Therefore,’’ he con- cluded, ‘‘federal health agencies are always going to sound right 1932, where the government, under the direction of CDC, deliberately infected 400 African-American sharecrop- pers with syphillis and watched them die, even after penicillin cure for syphillis became avail- able in 1940; to what he declares is the ‘‘most notorious six-days in America,” when U.S. milit: ary personnel sprayed clouds of potentially harmful bacteria in clouds over San Francisco, and other secret experiments where bacteria was sprayed in New York subways, Washington, D.C. airports and on highways in Pennsylvania. “By 1980 certain biowarfare weapons have been uniquely de- signed for targeting and killing of specific ethnic and racial groups,’ Felder charges. ‘There are few Americans who are even vaguely aware that the U.S. Army has a biological and chemical warfare department, located at Fort Detrick in Frederick, MO. Its functions are to develop chemical and biological weapons and they al- ready have a well documented tradition of experimentation on human beings.” Jt was in Cold Springs Har- bor, N.Y., in the early 1960's that Felder claims biologists and scientists first gained the ability to slice DNA out of cells yp and recombined them in other Representatives in 1969 dis- cussed a Pentagon brief to create through genetic engineer- ing a virus whose action would defeat the human body’s im- munity, someone therefore was interested in such a virus then,”’ he reminded. “John Seale, an English venereologist, who claimed the AIDS epidemic was caused by experiments carried out in the U.S.A., told reporters he was totally convinced the AIDS is man-made,” Felder stated. All of the 1,083 homosexuals who took the Hepatitis B vac- cine given in New York in 1979 were dead a decade after the test, as were 1,402 gay men recruited from gay VD clinics in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, St. Louis and Chicago. ‘There is complete agreement in the virology world that the AIDS virus didn’t exist before 1978 in the U.S. homosexual population,’’ Felder said. Smallpox vaccinations is fingered as causing the AIDS virus to raise its ugly head in Africa and Haiti, according to Felder. ‘The smallpox eradication program, sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO) was responsible for un- leashing AIDS in Africa,” Felder contends. “Almost 100 to banking officer Garland Frazier, NCNB Con- sumer banking director for Greenville, made the announce- ment today.

GEORGE HENSON, soulful singer, superb song writer and sensational guitarist, admonishes his children not to smoke. ‘‘We don’t smoke, so that’s something that they can’t pick up from us,” he emphasis. ‘“‘The best way to get someone to listen to what you are saying is by example. If you set the example then he has a model to go by,”’ Benson points out. When discussing drugs, he tells them: “‘If you never get in- to drugs, then you don’t have the problem of trying to get off drugs.” We started teaching this early to our kids (JET, May 1, 1989).

THIS YEAR’S RECIPE: Take 12 fine full-grown months; see that these are thoroughly free from all old memories of biterness, rancor, hate and jealousy. Cleanse them complete- ly from every clinging spite; pick off all specks of pettiness. Cut each month into equal parts - an equal part for each day of the month. Do not attempt to make up the whole batch at one time. Prepare one day at a time at follows: Into each day put equal parts of faith, patience, courage, work, hope, fidelity, liberality, kindness, rest, prayer, meditation. Add about 1 teaspoon of good spirits, a dash of fun, a pinch of folly, a sprinkling of play, and a heaping cupful of good humor. Pour love into the whole and mix with a vim. Serve with quietness, unselfishness and cheerfulness. to the list. This, the 10th day of August, 1989.

She sued under Section 1981, the civil rights statute enacted after the Civil War to prohibit employers from treat- ing Black workers differently than whites, The Court ruled that the post- Emancipation law was meant to bar race discrimination in hiring but not discrimination on the job! The Court advised Patter- son to seek relief under other statutes, such as Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The problem is that while Title VII bars employment discrimina- tion, it does not cover the same situations, allow as much time to bring suit, or allow for as much damages, as does Section 1981. Clearly, Congress in- tended the latter to protect Blacks, not just in getting jobs, but on the job as well. In another case I discussed in an earlier column, the Court ironically used the Constitu- tion’s bedrock of equal treat- ment for minorities - the 14th Amendment - as a weapon against them.

The Court also makes the false as- patterns and institutional forms of discrimination are the unin- tended result of longstanding social, political and economic realities - in the Croson case, for example. When the City of Richmond, Virginia created a set-aside program for minority businesses, it did so in recogni- tion of the construction in- dustry’s longtime and almost total exclusion of African-A- mericans and other minorities - citywide, statewide and nation- ally. (Fortunately, although the Court wrongly struck down Richmond's plan as unconstitu- tional, it did not rule out the validity of race- conscious at- tacks on discrimination al- together.) The Court snatched a vital in- strument for substanding employment discrimination claims from the hands of the na- tion’s minority workforce in a decision involving the Native American and Filipino cannery workers, who presented statis- tics providing that ‘they had been relegated to all of a com- pany’s low-paying positions while whites got all the high- paying desk jobs. The Court, in rejecting their claim and greatly limiting the use of statistical john a. powell evidence, made it harder to gain relief under Title VII. The Court, issuing one of its worst opinions in an already ter- rible term in the Martin v. Wilks case, egged on whites who feel ‘‘discriminated’’ against by court-approved, voluntary settlements in dis- crimination cases to legally con- test such settlements - which could trigger the unravelling of many. The case involved the Ci- ty of Birmingham, Alabama which, after years of fighting charges that it had violated Ti- tle VII in hiring and promoting firefighters, entered into a cour- t- approved agreement with two of its legal adversaries to set up a remedial hiring and promotion scheme. A group of white firefighters, after declining their right to enter the. litigation while it was in progress, chal- lenged the constitutionality of the settlement after the fact. Legal precedent dictated that their suit be barred. The Court permitted it instead, thus open- ing the floodgates to similar ac- tions by whites disgruntled over efforts to free minorities from centuries of inequality and oppression. Each of these decision is harmful. Together, they signal the dawning of a dark age, in which blatant disregard for the rights of African-Americans and other minorities will be the rule of thumb. An activist, hos- tile, conservative majority, that began to take shape a year and a half ago with the appointment of Justice Anthony M. Ken- nedy, is loose in the land.

That compares to 533 violent crimes last year in Greenville, or 783 per 100,000. The violent crime index includes apenas on murder, negligent mans ter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Greenville reported six murders, 15 rapes 14] robberies and 371 aggravated assaults. While non-uniformed employees now comprise 23 per- cent of the police work force na- tionwide, according to the report, only 25 of 128— or 20 percent — of Greenville police employees are civilians. In a related statistical report, information collected in June in- filed 145 drug charges: “These are telling figures about the Greenville Police Dept.’s war on drugs,’’ Tesmond said. ‘‘There has been a dramatic increase in our number of drug investigations during the past year. This increase is the result of two factors: first, the City Council has given us the addi- tional funding we need to in- crease our personnel in the Special Investigations Unit, and second, the amount of drug ac- tivity in the city has also increas- ed. More drugs are being shipped to Greeenville, resulting in more drug investigations and more ar- rests.” When will criminals be stopped from dictating When are we going to stop politicians, judges, and parole boards from allowing criminals to dictate our lives? Being 53 years old, I have the benefit of remembering when criminals weren’t in charge. Up until the '60s you didn’t have to have to have exact change to get on a trolley car or bus. You just handed the driver a dollar and he'd give you change. Then drivers started getting held up. Instead of catching and imprison- ing the robbers, we put passengers to the inconvenience of having exact change. Department stores use to have numerous exits. In response to widespread shoplifting, they’ve reduced the number of exits. Again, we're inconvenienced in- stead of authorities catching and imprisoning thieves. What’s more, merchandise prices reflect the steep cost of anti-shoplifting hated that stores must buy. ‘housing project, where we lived, my mother, sister, and I washed clothes in the basement ted washing machine and later hung them out in the community clothes yard. Mom went off to work and we off to school. After school our job was to gather the clothes. Thieves began breaking into the machines while others stole the clothing; now residents must bear the inconvenience of going to a laundromat.

Besides, you could safely walk to the store day or night. Today, there are not only no stores of any significance, but even _ if therewere, you wouldn’t want to walk, at least not at night. Criminals have put the stores out of business. Residents, that don’t want to get ripped off by Mom & Pop stores, must bear transpor- tation costs to go downtown or to surburban malls. Politicians, judges, and parole boards treat law-abiding people with contempt. Remember Ber- nard Goetz, who defended himself against would be at- tackers in a New York subway? He was jailed. Now remember the lady jogger who was raped and beaten into a coma in New York’s Central Park? Had she carried a gun and shot her assailants, she would be in jail with Goetz instead of the hospital. Civil authorities, along with their friends in the anti-gun lobby, would rather have us be victims of brutal assaults and live in fear than defending ourselves against barbarians they put on the streets. I say hogwash to all of that. As a kid I used to steal money from Mom's piggy bank. When I got caught, and between the lashes, Mom said that she was neither going to lock up nor hide her money and I wasn’t going to steal it either. She didn’t hide or lock up the money and I didn’t steal it — again. We-.need to put Mom in Charge of our criminal justice system? Ask any. politician about mak- ing our streets and homes safe. You'll get and endless list of ex- cuses from ‘‘we don’t have anywhere to put criminals’’to “we don’t have enough police.”’ One of Mom’s famous speeches applies here, “If you’re doing something you’re not supposed to be doing, uou’re not going to be able to do what you’re supposed to be doing.” City and state goverments spend countless billions of taxpayers’ money for handouts for the indiscreet, idle and lazy, massive sports com- plexes, and one junket or boon- doggle after another — things they are not supposed to be doing. Therefore, they don’t have enough resources to protect the citizens from criminals — which they’re supposed to be doing. The only short-run solution is for law-abiding people to arm themselves and defend when at- tacked. Like Goetz, I prefer jail to the hospital or morgue. But the long-run solution is to run our political derelicts out of office. ssreeneneeeneneeeenemeeneemennee a YOUR BUSINESS CAN REAP A | BIG SALE WITH AN AD A FRIENDLY SMILE AND A GREAT PLACE TO SHOP WASHINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA ...

To say Congress kills is a serious charge, but let me lay out some parameters and you make the decision — Guilty or not guilty? Africa’s drought and Soviet- style farm collectivization ac- count for a large part of the con- tinent’s starvation. It also stems from U.S. policy on the export of effective pesticides. Locusts start out as relatively harmless grasshoppers. When conditions are right they emerge in stagger- ing numbers, up to 150-million locusts per square kilometer, where they can eat 100 tons of food per day. That’s enough food to feed 500 people per year. According to Dr. Thomas R. DeGrogori and Dina F. Solovey in an article, ‘‘Out of Africa,” in the Summer 1989 issue of Priorities, a publication of the American council on Science and Health, the most effective weapon against locusts are DDT-type compounds such as Dieldrin. But elite environmentalists have pressed Congress to ban the ex- port of Dieldrin in the name of protection the earth and human life. They want poor Africans to buy Malathion and Carbaryl which are much less effective against pests and 10 times as expensive. It’s true that DDT-type insec- ticides are more toxic than their more modern and costly substitutes. It’s also true that we used DDT in the United States when we couldn’t do better, but the environmentalists would deny the same access to others that can’t do better. This is a familiar tune among do-gooders; now that we’re on the boat, let’s pull up the gangplank. Our Congress provides equal COOKING UP A GOOD MEAL QUESTION: Is there a test to determine if baking powder is still active? ANSWER: Stir one teaspoon of baking powder into!, cup of not water. Baking powder is fit to use if it bubbles abundantly. QUESTION: What’s the secret to stop cookies from spreading too much? ANSWER: You may need to add more flour to batter. If recipe calls for solid shortening, don’t substitute butter or margarine because they have more water than shortening and may make dough too soft. Cookies may spread because the oven isn’t hot enough. Or you may be over-greasing the cookie sheets. Except for low-shortening cookies, cookie sheets rarely need to be greased. QUESTION: What’s the method for cooking ham in the microwave oven? ANSWER: Place a fully- cooked ham, fat side up, in a glass baking dish. Shield top edge with foil and loosely cover ham with plastic wrap. Microwave on medium for 12 to 14 minutes per pound, After% of the cooking time, invert ham, placing foil again on top edge, re-covering with plastic bie for the last third of me. Use a meat thermometer designed for the microwave oven or an oven probe and cook ham to 160 degrees. Let meat stand for 5 to 10 minutes before carving. opportunity in the sense that it: policy kills Americans as well Rachel Flick, in an article, ‘Why Can’t We Get the Medicine We Need?’’in the current Reader’s Digest, writes about callous Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) policy. In 1980, Knoll Phar maceuticals introduced pro pafenone, an effective treatment for a potentially fatal heart disease, FDA didn’t approve the drug until 1988. We can only guess at the number of people who needlessly died as a result. Dr. George Frederick had pro- state cancer and _ needed flutamide which had been wide ly used in Europe for years anc found effective and _ safe However, flutamide had not beer approved in the United States. T get flutamide, Dr. Frederick managed to get FDA’s permis sion to “‘research”’ the drug and now his prostate cancer is i: remission. About 500,000 Americans die o! heart attacks each year . Accor ding to Flick, 75 percent of these attacks are caused by blood clots The drug TPA was found effec tive in dissolving clots in clinica] tests in 1985, but the FDA didn’t get around to approving it unti! late in 1987, and only then because of loud protests from the medical community. One wonders how many Americans die as a result of this branch of government. Last month, I wrote about how Department of Transportation regulations send thousands of Americans to their death through their mandate for Detroit to pro- duce higher mileage cars. Cars that get more mileage are made lighter and less crashworthy. Ac- cording to several studies, 4,000 Americans will needlesssly lose their lives and another 20,000 will be injured annually as a result of DOT requirements for the 1989 models. I asked Transportation Secretary Samuel Skinner about this and his answer showed a callous disregard for life in favor of a concern for the environment and the wishes of Congress. Congress and the bureaucrats are only too willing to take these risks with our lives because the victims are invisible. Those who die because of starvation, the unavailability of useful drugs, and less crashworthy cars are not likely to know why they died and their relatives would never think of their deaths as resulting from an act of Congress.

Muhammad was born nearly six hundred years after Christ. The Arabs were known for their beautiful poetry, and great memories. But they scorned lear- ning. Few people in Arabia, at the time of Prophet Muhammad, could read or write. Neither Hebrew, nor Christian mis- sionaries could convert them from idolatry. When God missioned Muham- mad to be His prophet, the very first word revealed was “READ!”” Muhammad replied that he could not read. The com- mand to “READ!” was repeated again, and again Muhammad said “I cannot read, I am not learned”. Finally at the third command to ‘““READ’’Muham- mad replied READ WHAT? Thus, the first five verses of the Quran were revealed, ‘“‘Read in the name of thy Lord who creates — Creates man from a clot, Read and thy Lord is most Generous, Who taught by the pen, Taught man what he knew not.” Holy Quran 96: 1-5. A startled and shakened Muhammad went to his wife and repeated to her those same verses word for word. At that very moment Jesus prophesy was fulfilled, “‘HOWBEIT WHEN HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, IS COME, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH: FOR HE SHALL NOT SPEAK OF HIMSELF; BUT WHAT- SOEVER HE SHALL HEAR, THAT SHALL HE SPEAK: AND HE WILL SHOW YOU THINGS TO COME.” John 16:13. Here, Jesus prophesied that the one following him would guide us in- to all truth. Jesus, the seal of pro- phethood to the Israelites, urged us to watch for and follow Muhammad, the seal of pro- phethood to the world. In this message Jesus also in- structs that we shall find the truth he brought in the words given to Muhammad. ‘‘He shall glorify me for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall shew it unto you.” With our own eyes we are wat- ching society unravel. Yet God, in His infinite wisdom and knowledge has shown us the way to stop this destruction, and make our society, our world whole again. We choose to turn our backs on His guidance, and by so doing we are helping to destroy ourselves, our children, and everything good and wonderful in our world. In our society religion has become a status symbol not a way of life. We use it for social climbing or as an emotional outlet for fears, and disappoint- ments. We no longer seek true salvation. When we have spiritual problems, we attempt to solve them through emotional ways. Seldom do we apply reasoning, logic, or common sense to the spiritual messages given to us by those who have liv- ed before us, or. those who are liv- ing with us now. In our own way we are very much like the old Arab, scorning knowledge. The Quran says of us, ‘‘THESE ARE THEY WHO HAVE BARTERED GUIDANCE FOR ERROR: BUT THEIR FRAFFIC IS PRO- FITLESS, AND THEY HAVE LOST TRUE DIRECTION” Ho- ly Quran 2:16. I listen to spiritual gospel songs, I hear and watch the preachers speak. And then after- wards I hear the souls of black folk crying for relief. All my life I have heard that cry, as I wat- ched drugs and disease ravish the friends of my youth and destroy our communities. Paying little heed to our overpowering gospel music and soul stirring songs. I wonder why Satan hasn’t run away from our preachers hard and fast lectures. Why haven’t the people shouting, fainting, and speaking in strange tongues kept him away from their youth, It seems that the more spiritual we've become the more settled and secure Satan has become in our midst. A wise people would stop and ask ‘‘What in the world is going on?” ‘What are we do- ing wrong?’ Since we've been in this coun- try, we accepted the ill of goods just as it was given to us . It helped for a while but when the going really got rough it deserted ‘us, Many of our foreparents came here with truth in their hearts. And a strong desire to keep the fire of truth alive in the souls of their children. That truth still lives, And is ours for the asking. If you truly loved Jesus, you would love Muhammad, for the teachings of Prophet Jesus and Prophet Muhammad (PBUT) come together to bridge a a spiritual gap. By taking the (Continued on page 9) | Dr. Frank Fuller, the Chair- man of the Board of Directors for the Council on announces, after 12 years of service as Ex- ecutive Director, Jeffrey McAllister is beginning his retire- ISLAM IN FOCUS _ rejecting the guidance God gave to-Muhammad (PBUT), we are allowing ourselves to hang over a spiritual void In this position we have stunted our spiritual growth, and have denied the world a modern day miracle. In view of all we’ve been through, what would be wrong in checking out Islam. If the Arabs had denied Muhammad, they would have denied their bir- thright. For the God of Abraham was theirs by descendancy. And if they had persisted in denial they would have been left in idolatry and the world would have been denied a beautiful gift. And so my people it is the same with us. Many of our slave forefathers came here with a desire to keep Islam alive in the hearts of their children. Slavery denied them that chance. Now we their children’s are denying them that chance for a few pieces of silver. Because it is more acceptable to mimick this society than to try to understand our own. Brothers and Sisters, we are walking with our heads in the wrong direction. We can’t see where we’re going, and we’re quickly forgetting where we caqme from. If you turn your back on Islam, know that you are turning your back on your birthright. You are denying yourself what is yours, and you are denying your gift to this society. For Islam is our gift. God did not bring us here empty hand- ‘ed. With Islam this country has a chance to become a shining ex- ample of God’s love.

I am looking forward to continuing work with agencies and the peo- ple in our county who also have concerns in this area. The service we give at the Council on Aging benefits the entire community.
