FREE Tues., November 7 Is Election Day African-Americans Must VOTE!! Eastern North Carolina’s Minority Voice Willie Mae Carney The wVO A Special Salute To What You See Is What You Get, What You Read Is What You Know & Save ‘EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA’S MINORITY VOICE — SINCE 1987 Coordinator of AIDS awareness program is out to save lives Patricia Oxendine-Hunter is out to save lives. As the coordinator of a new AIDS awareness and prevention program for OIC, Hunter has her work cut out for her. The program, which began sev- eral weeks ago, targets Rocky Mount’s black community. OIC, Opportunities Industrialization Center, is in the heart of the city’s black community. Another reason for focusing on the black community is higher cases of AIDS, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, in the na- tion among blacks, Hunter said. The black population consti- tutes 12 percent of the nation’s population, but 25 percent of the AIDS population in the U.S., she said. One in four who has AIDS is black, she said, adding that AIDS infection may have something to do with a socio-economic factor. AIDS is not exclusive to ho- mosexuals and drug users, she added. Statistics indicate that by 1991, if the rapid spread of the disease is not curbed, ‘“‘we are going to see 67,000 black people with AIDS,”’ she said. ‘‘Now cases of AIDS are show- ing up in heterosexual males, school-age children and in U.S. senior citizens. No one is exclu- sive,’ she said. ‘‘This is not just a threat. It is a disease that kills” Hunter pointed out that the dis- ease can remain dormant for as many as 15 years before it is detected. People can carry. the disease and not even know they are a carrier. ‘All of these facts make it scary,’’ she said. Hunter said at a recent question and answer program one of the participants told about her brother dying from AIDS. The girl said she knew of 17 other people her brother had shared a needle with, Hunter recalled. All are dead. “The number of contact can become astronomical,”’ she said. As people become aware of the deadly impact of the disease, Hunter said she anticipates see- ing some behavior changes. Keys are understanding and openness, she said. ‘We want people to feel open about talking about sex, HIV and AIDS,” Hunter said. The program at OIC will attempt to do that, she added. OIC is a place where the black community feels comfortable, Hunter said. ‘‘We try to break down that barrier. We show confi- dence and comfort in talking ab- out AIDS,”’ she said. ‘‘Many times it is not an easy topic to discuss.”’ Hunter said she may not be able to answer many of the questions MS.

The club has not only grown in member- ship, it has expanded its role and its purpose in the Afro-American community. The brotherhood social club has established its hued and waters at the brotherhood community building located on Pennsylvania Avenue in Greenville. For several years the club has supported many civic projects that benefit the total community, It now offers its facilities for all types of occasions sponsored by individuals and other organizations including churches, fraternities and families. For example, during (Continued on page 10) she receives, but with the help of area health professionals she will get them answered.

Hunter said she is also inter- ested in working with area youth, school systems and perhaps the Boys Club. ‘Be abstinent,’ Hunter ad- vised. ‘We have to say that loudly and clearly. That is what we advocate.” She is also busy working on a door-to-door component of the ICE Serving ...

By: Sandra Dupree Boyd A lot of us have learned the hard way that God is the only truthful and trustworthy friend that you can really count on. There’s a saying that you should be slow in choosing a friend, and even slower in chang- ing. You may have learned so far in life that friends will let you down, and they will also stop coming around. Friends are hard to find, friend like yours and mine. About a year ago I thought that I had some new friends. Friends that would stand by me and be supportive of me. Then one day I realized that the door bell had stopped ringing and the telephone had stopped ringing. These so-called friends were people that I had not sent for, and I didn’t even know that they ex- isted. They found me. And now I know that they really only wanted to get close to me because there was something going on at the time that they could probably benefit from. My experience got me thinking back to Jesus and His disciples. Jesus had a huge crowd behind Him all the time as long as they were benefiting and Jesus was giving out blessings. But when Jesus needed them, you could hardly find one. Well, in a way it kind of hap- pended to me. I started out with a small crowd of about 30. Now there’s only a few: God, me, my family, and two others. But know what? That’s all it takes. So I'm glad that the crowd has dwindled since their intention were not good to begin with. Because had their intentions been good, I would still hear from them, and they would still be coming around or calling from time to time, But I want these so-called friends to remember that what goes around comes around. You've probably noticed that when one white person or family needs help, they all join together to help this person or family. For example, think about how all the whites got together and had bake sales and everything else you can think of to help the Ron Chance Family. Would we as a black race had taken time out to do this if the Chance Family had been black? Jesus chose no special person or family to help while He walk- ed around here on earth. You don’t have to be a star to be in God’s show. Because God uses ordinary people. He used or- dinary people in biblical days and uses them today. But we as a black race, we have our picks as to whom we help. How would you feel if you asked God for help and He told you that He wasn’t going to help you. That He had chosen someone else instead? I doubt very seriously if it would make you feel good. We as a black race had better start thinking about pulling together while we’re sitting across that table eating lunch with our white fellow co-workers everyday. Because when you get up from that table you are still just as black as you were when you first sat down. You didn’t change one iota to that white man or white woman. They don’t love us; they just put up with us, hecause one man dared to make a change when some of us were still in diapers. Your so-called friends will tell you so faithfully what they are going to do or what they are go- ing to say until it really comes down to the main event. Then you start to get answers such as ‘‘maybe’’, ‘“‘I don’t know’’, ‘check with me later’’, ‘‘we’ll see’, and finally, ‘‘I don’t want to make it hard for myself’. Then you start to wonder why did they lead you on. Our so- called black friends are so en- vious. They’re so afraid that you’re going to get ahead of them. But they need to remember that ENVY shoots at others and wounds herself in the process. I was told a story not too long ago about a group of girls who were attending a class together. Everyone was car pooling (Continued on page 3) FINE CANDIDATES ... THE ‘M’ VOICE NEWPAPER endorses Brother Robert Wilkins for Mayor of Plymouth and the above candidates for office also.

Kent Hayes Over the past ten years the number of middle and upper turning to delinquents—even criminal behavior has risen dramatically. Children who seem to have every advantage are ending up in court, and their parents are often at a loss to explain how this come about. Too often parents neglect is the root of the trouble. The same parents who coach the Little League teams, preside at the PTA may be neglecting some of their children’s needs, without even being aware of it. Neglect can take the many form, from overindulgence to lack of communication. Good parenting is not a natural process but a learned process. Good parents know how to instill the value of delayed gratification, provide structure, get to know their child by becoming actively u Y, NOVEMBER 2-WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1989-THE ‘M’ VOICE involved in his or her interests, work hard to communicate with their children, learn .the dynamics of discipline, focus on negative behavior and ignore positive create within their child a poor. self-image, like themselves and know how to laugh, successful kids come first from*nurturing homes, a child’s first and most important teachers are his parents, teach their children that there is joy in being part of a larger communi- ty, who learn the facts about alcohol and drug addiction are their child’s greatest allies against the danger of substance abuse, and husbands and wives who do not love each other pro- duce disturbed kids.

Being a good parent re- quires as much time, talent, — , and thought as a full-time job. When we have problems at work, we call everyone together, sit down around a table, and discuss the issue. We do not do this with our families. The pro- blem simply fester. Being a parent requires as much active management, thought, and con- sideration as his job. We give our job more time and thought than our families. What were you like when you were seventeen? If a mother is tired and stressed (after a career job), the entire family is affected. Many of us are muddling along wondering why our house doesn’t feel like a home. As parents, we tell our children how we want them to behave by what we say and don’t say. Bill and Pam had a two- career marriage with no energy left over for parenting. April described her mother coming home from school tired and angry. Her father would come in, pick up the paper, and wait for April to call him to dinner. No one talked and when the kids tried to tell their concerns the parents said they were tired. When April became pregnant at 13 years old, Pam and Bill were totally un- prepared to deal with it. Set aside time for families to talk, family talk. Parents must interact with school. Know that your family is important enough before they’ve flexible and imaginative whe solving family problems as y are when solving problems on job. Our problems of behavior are established while we’re young. The child and the problem came — from us. We rob our children of | \a neéded relationship and send them off into a competitive, com- plicated world believing that love | is wrapped in packages or car- | ried in a billfold. Assume your | role as parents, not nannies, baby — sitters. By giving you child everything she wants, when she wants it, you deskill your daughter and son. Our care of the child from birth to six provides the emotional foundation that will affect his behavior throughout his life. If we turn up our noses and call his body waste dirty while we are potty training, the chances are pretty good the chilld will feel he is dirty. It is during this period that children can learn to appreciate books and perceive learning as an adventure. They do not need to be pushed into reading, or counting, but if we read to them with enthusiasm, and talk to them with a healthy respect for their intellect, they will live up to their intellectual capacity. Teach affection by being affec- tionate with our spouses, the child’s siblings, and the child.

MOORE Prop. taught by exemplary examples, but it is an essential part of the learning process, Anger and hate can be taught just as effectively if we are not careful. ° The day they walk into kindergarten class they will know how to hold grudges, hate and fear, if that was what they were exposed to at home. Children learn about sex and their bodies from us. If we turn our noses up and look disgusted at the question about the penis or vagina, they understand immediately how we feel. By then whatever words we choose are virtually meaningless. They will ask questions and be curious. For the better part of two years we cover their bodies with diapers, and when finally they have a chance to explore and discover these strange organs, they will be fascinated and excited. Ask yourself—What do I want my children.to know before they leave home? Educational needs and physical/medical/dental needs, surely. Children must be taught through social interaction that they are a part of a larger community is their responsibili- ty. They learn how to be sociable by watching their parents socialize. Our children are im- itators. The chances are good that they will associate with the same type of people we associate with. Become an active part of the community in which you live. Children learn from what they see, not what they hear. If they see a parent who can only relax with a drink in his or her hand, what does it say? Parents need to analyze their own consumption habits. As a society, we need to think about the example we set, and the images we create. Parents need to assume the responsibility of being their child’s drug educator.

Values to ‘69.95 stated that 100,000 ten and eleven- year-olds reported getting drunk at least once a week. Even six- year-olds need to be talked to. But how do you talk to a six-year- old about addiction? When he’s two years old and reaches under the sink and pulls out the drain cleaner, we don’t hesitate to tell him that the liquid in the bottle is a poison and could make him very sick. ‘Tell him addictive drugs can also make him very sick, that they are poison to the system, Walking across the street without looking both ways is dangerous. If you get hit by a car, it could kill you. Don’t be afraid to discuss harmful effects of illegal drugs with your children. If you see an article in the paper related to addiction that can be explained, bring it to the dinner table and talk about it. Parents who provide a nurtur- ing, structured environment and communicate with their ’ child have the best chance of dealing with substance abuse. Husbands and wives who do not love each other produce disturbed kids. When affection, respect and love are present in a marriage, the children are secure and happy with each other. Children whe feel secure seldom commit crimes or need to abuse others to meet their needs. We all need a time and place to vent our wrath, but the best place is not in front of the kids. There’s a big dif- ference between an argument and a fight. Your compatibility is their security. TODAY AND TIME by Gerald B.

A salute to the Brotherhood Club (Continued from page 1 Christmas and Thanksgiving, the brotherhood is mostly known for providing a place for people to en- joy each other. Although it is not just a night club, people do come out to mingle, talk and even dance..The club has ABC permits which is a clear sign of its growth as a legal and responsible com- munity organization. Members and guests may now enjoy their favorite beverage without fear of problems with law enforcement authorities. Now is a perfect time for Afro- Americans to support the brotherhood social club and com- munity building. For years com- plaints have been heard about there not being any place to go. This club is filling that need. Peo- ple who don’t feel at home in the RIO’ or other establishments that are predominately white oriented can look to the brotherhood club as a place of their own. It (Continued on page Ll) by C. Antonio October 14th, 1989...12:30 p.m. was the beginning of a movement that won't stop acco to §.C.L.C. leaders. Small in number but large on committ- ment they marched from Albemarle Avenue, down Flem- ing, to 14th and 5th street to the Greenville Town Common. There the speakers were large in number with basically the same message. One ex-junkie/alcoholic ap. proached the podium and: his speech stirred the crowd dramatically. In summing up his speech, he told the crowd you can’t talk about a junkie unless you’ve been a junkie, and the answer is not jail because you can buy as much dope in jail, (even from the guards) a8 out of jail. This man’s last words were, the best help for a junkie is to show that junkie love. ; In my assertion this was all for naught unless it is followed up. One big march won’t make it. And we must stop looking to jails as the answer. As Jim Rouse said in. his speech, you have to give a young person a job (a chance to make legal money) or they will try to make the illegal money.

By now, you probably know that a committee composed of students, business and government leaders reached unanimous agreement and reported the following: QO) Reacting to the riots of 1974 and 1975, the City Council halted the Halloween celebrations from 1976 to 1979. During that period, the downtown bars closed their doors. OQ In 1979, the City Council reversed its position and allowed the celebrants to party in the streets once again. Q In 1987, the number of Halloween partygoers swelled to more than 20,000 and more streets were closed off for the celebration. Five persons were injured, seven were arrested and the City spent 800 manhours in employee overtime, costing taxpayers between $10,000 and $15,000.

Residence halls won't allow nonresidents to spend the night on campus. Sororities and fraternities are closing their doors to out-of-towners, too.

Sincerely, DOCTOR’S CORNER COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR PARENTS | by Cynthia L. Doctof This week’s column is a message to children in the many families in our community. Although this column has: been primarily an aid and an appeal to parents, it’s the children’s turn this week. Have you ever had a pfoblem that you were afraid to discuss with your parents? Perhaps this feeling was based on fear of punishment, loss of affection, or loss of respect from your parents. Some of the roles of childhood and of being in a family are to learn to accept disciple, to obey, and to make the necessary changes in your behavior. Therefore the fear of punishment from your parents is a legitimate one. It is a parent’s responsibili- ty to punish for improper behavior. Punishment is general- ly much more severe if parents learn from outsiders (teacher, neighbor, police, etc.) things that you should have trusted them enough to tell them. Consider for the moment the types of punishments that exist today. Compare these punishements to those of your parents. Police or legal punish- ment may be harsh. School- teachers and _principals- punishments, may be imper- sonal. Such impersonal! discipline can lower self esteem. Outside authorities usually are much more severe and restrictive in their punishment and discipline than are parents. Parents disci- ple and counsel with love and understanding. Regardless of your feelings today, as an adult, you'll look back at some of your life experiences and give your parents the praise! (Continued on page 14) FAMILY AFFAIR . ..

You also afraid discuss the issue with your parents. Given the op} ; discuss it, your parents can give you very effective ways to handle the situation. More than likely they have experienced the same pressures. Their experiences put them in a far better position to view situations objectively and maturely. They love you and have your best interest at heart. TALK to your parents. Parental love withstands the tests of time. Your parents will be there when all others turn their backs. Let’s suppose that you have agronomy cay Sp Or worse, you've committed dangerous acts in a gang, became addicted to drugs, gotten pregnant or fathered a child. Who, more than likely, will you see through police and court ac- tion; drug rehabilitation; and the consequences of early parenting? YOUR PARENTS. Remember, children have roles in the family, just as do parents, One of the roles of children in families is to accept the protection efforts of their parents, Parental protection ef- forts include meeting your physical, emotional, and educa- tional needs. DON’T BE AFRAID TO GO TO YOUR PARENTS FOR HELP. LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Dear Editor: I greet you with love, truth, peace, freedom and justice. This appeal plea is written from a man in suffering, angush, and full of sorrow due to the burdensome agaony of aloneness, which being imprisoned creates when ones family and friends have turned their backs on them. As, I sit here in my hot dreary dorm, I think and pray about life. As I go through the harsh regulations, the degradation, anger and frustration; I constantly try to find ways and solutions to make my plight lighter. For it is to the national interest of this society, and ourselves to try and bridge the gap that has separated the male and female principle. So, I appeal to your reasoning. I would like for you to put my. plight on your bulletin board. I’m a man on the path of raising my consciousness to stand perpendicular on the Square of Life; and I need your help. I seek unconditional friends and their spiritual natures. My want and need of them has evolv- ed from my struggle to free myself from the frips of exploita- tion; and negative criticism about men knowing how to build strong relationships or friend- ships with people in general. Some people get a sense of themselves in prison, and some HH Hampton House INDEPENDENCE SQUARE 301 BYPASS NORTH Classic, Comfortable Wing Chairs get a false sense when one has ill- defined goals and false percep- tions of one’s capabilities. I’ve positives to offer! I write you out of desperation with sincere hope you will acknowledge my financial status (indigent) and unable to provide you with the necessary cor- réspondence. My name is Robert Williams Jr., but all my friends call me (Spud) the people who chose to write, may call me that also if they choose to become a frined. I’m (Pisces), but a strong willed Pisces. I’m 5 feet 9 inches tall, I weigh 170 pounds solid and feel real friendships or relation- ships must begin with common interests, aspirations; and a quality commitment to a con- tineous renewal to help each other through all lonely times. I will make no promises, just at- tempts. I want to plant positive attempts of becoming their un- conditional friend, softly in the fertile grounds of their being. My actions will speak louder than my words. I trust all the people in your area are moved by actions? For I’m that person whop can stimulate them to new heights of understanding of themselves. I’m p resently living in a dismal crypt call prison, and I’m a lonely man that is in need of correspondence. (Continued on page 15) oe a.

When you accept Muhammad as God’s prophet you also accept all the prophets that came before him and you ac- cept that all the prophets taught the Unity of God. In addition you also accept the living guidance Muhammad left for us to follow. In the life of prophet Muham- mad you have clear examples on how to conduct yourselves and your affairs. Islam encompasses all aspects of life including government, private and per- sonal affairs such as education, marriage, finance and. dress. Muhammad shows you that God’s words is compatible with everyday life. As each verse was revealed, it was immediately ex- panded in his lifestyle. The state he established and the laws that were enforced came from Quran. By following Quran he proved that there’s no poverty, hunger? prejudice, or ignorance, in a God fearing state. Society should strive to live in accordance to God’s laws and not outside of them. As a human be- ing you prefer your way of doing things. You may not, like being told how to live your life. The Quran teaches that God did not create anything in vain, nor did He create for sport and play. Everything you do on earth will either bring you closer to God or take you further away. Muhammad instructs you to think about structuring your life in a way that is pleasing to God. This doesn’t mean living in poverty or denying yourself the benefits of the world. On the con- trary, it means building a socie- ty that considers not just your physical needs, but also your spiritual ones. In our society we have a democracy based on separation of church and state, We are free to worship as we please, but when it comes to cor- ruption we have no spiritual leg to stand on. Our laws are not God conscious, It is difficult to change unjust laws, or enforce laws that protect the environment and the innocent from the greedy. Sometimes our laws take away from us something basic and Godlike, for example, congrega- tional prayers in our public schools. So far removed are we from doing'what is Godlike in our laws that a question like abortion becomes a painful ordeal. A god- fearing government is nothing to fear, if you have a clear guidance and a clear: example to follow. Islam gives you both. The Quran, which gives you God’s eternal guidance, prophet Muham- mad, who shows you how to structure your life with it. You didn’t have a clear guidance to follow before Islam.

During our journey through this experience we must become masters and slaves, murders and victims, etc...etc,., Only when one does not learn from ones ex- perience, have they sinned. To come away from any experience igonorant of the lessons to be learnt is evil, or negative, is life hindering. Black Studies, then, is both a particular and general social science and shares with the other social sciences similar focus of inquiry and analysis. It shares with political science the concern with the problems of gaining, maintaining and using power, especially as it relates to Blacks, and with economics, the concern of the relationship of race and class to economic oppor- tunities and distributive ine- qualities.

In the image of the Creator are all of the secrets and mysteries of the universe; every outer manifestation is being reflected in our make-up. So, we must study from the center of ourselves to get a complete understanding of whats to be done and whats not to be. The first relevance of Black Studies is that it is a definitive contribution to humanity’s understanding itself. There is on- ly one possible science, Univeral Law the science of human socie- ty, of humans in the process of self, social and world construc- tion. But as we view humanity to- day, it’s in its abstract form, a mere construction for the conve- nience of conformation. The positive force of life had to ex- perience the negative. We had to see the world in its diversity as well as its unity and universality. As living organisms on this plane of thought we all experience the lessons of one another in some way or another.

With that thought in mind, Black Studies, then, becomes important because it is a study of a particular peo- ple which aids in the study of humanity as a whole. Black Studies is an important contribution to humanity’s self- understanding, because Blacks, African people, are the fathers and mothers of both humanity and human civilization. Thus, to omit a study of the parent people of humanity is to deprive oneself and humanity of a holistic and ef- fective understanding of itself. The only way one generation can succeed another is through the bloodline. The same blood that runs through our veins is the same blood that runs through our ancestors; at least the genetic messages are the same. The ef- fect of the experiences that our ancestors underwent is stamped into our genetics, signature- messages, chemical formulas that have been passed on to us through the bloodline, the seed. This, then, is our nature. Our ancestors were exposed to humane experiences, vast knowledge, understanding of the laws of the universe and knew nothing but, t Good for the month of Nov.

Through the study of Black Studies we will be able to rebuild our character. Thought and character are one and as character can only manifest and discover itself through . environment the aphorism, as a person thinketh in his heart so is he, not only em- braces the whole of a person’s be- ing, but is comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A person is literally what he thinks, his charcter being the complete sum of all his thoughts. So, we must start thinking Afrocentricity about all things.
