Wilder collecting petition signatures for U.S. Senate bid Former Gov. L. Douglas Wilder said Friday that he has authorized supporters tocollect the signatures needed for him to qualify as an independent candidate for the U.S. Senate, and will soon open a politi- cal office and hire staff members. Wilder’s announcementinjected new confusion into the tumultu- ous Senate race on a day when other questions were being clari- fied. Two Democrats met the peti- tion-filing deadline for the party’s June 14 primary, apparently set- ting the field of candidates at four. If enough of the petition-signers are verified as registered voters, the primary ballot will list incum- bent Sen. Charles S. Robb, state Sen. Virgil H. Goode Jr. of Franklin County, Richmond lawyer Sylvia Clute and Nancy Spannaus, a fol- lower of political extremist Lyndon LaRouche. Meanwhile, financial reports filed Friday showed Republican Oliver North leading the pack in fund-raising. North, one oftwocan- didates seeking the GOP nomina- tion, has collected $4.5 million and has spent all but $820.00 of that. North’s campaign claimed that his donor base-112,000 people- is the largest for any non-presiden- tial campaign in American his- tory. His opponent in the June 3-4 GOP convention, former federal budget director James C. Miller Il, has raised $546,500 and has $102,700 remaining. On the Democratic side, Robb has raised $1.4 million and has $1.1 million on hand. Clute, who formally declared her campaign ay With astate tour, has raised $40,000 and has $1.1 million and on hand. Clute, who formally launched her campaign Friday with a state tour, has raised over $40,000 and has $1,000 left. Goode, who has not formally aa e. 15,000 signatures required by law until June 14 - the day of the Demo- cratic primary. “I didn’t want to obfuscate or confuse people” by circulating pe- titions before the Democratics’ deadline, he said in an interview. He is taking the independent route because “I wanted to give myself the greatest latitude with time.” “I want to monitor how the nomi- nating process takes place and be prepared (to run) in the event I need to or have to,” he said. Wilder, who has shown open con- tempt for Robb and has also criti- cized North, refused to say whether theirnominations would definitely result in hiscandidacy. “I wouldn’t be that final,” he said. “But the inclinations are such that they move me further along the road than ever before even now.” Wilder is friends with Goode, who made a nominating process for Wilder in 1985, and several of Wilder’s associates have predicted that the former governor will sit out the race if Goode is nominated. Wilder declined to verify those opinions. “I’m going to monitor it and look at it an make a decision,” he said. Wilder had urged Democrats to use the primary to select their candidate, then stunned many when he announced in January he would not run in it. His decision to run as an independent would surely raise the ire of longtime Democratic supporters. “The party accomodated Gov. Wilder, and I hope that if he runs, he runs as a Democrat,” Demo- cratic Party Chairman Mark R. Warner said last week. Wilder said that he plans to meet with a group of supporters this weekend to plan strategy and that he expects to hire staff members and open an office within the next few weeks. It is widely expected that his former press secretary, Glenn K. Davidson, will run the initial campaign effort. But Wilder’s longtime political strategist, Paul Goldman, may not = (cnt on Page ‘) » = een War II. lama brigadier general in the California State Military. I have operated a successful bail bond agency in South Central Los Angeles for over 40 years. Most importantly, however, Iam past president of the Los Angeles Branch of the National Associa- tion for the Advancement of Col- ored People (NAACP) and for the past 10 years I have been the Cali- fornia state chairman of the Con- gress of Racial Equality (CORE). In December, 1993, I became one of the first African American civilians-only one of 13 residents or any hue-in Los Angeles to be granted a license to carry a con- cealed firearm in over 15 years. The awarding of these 13 gun permits, however, was not an act of charity by the city fathers. It only happened because CORE and a number of other organizations filed suit challenging the city’s right to waive its obligation to uphold the Constitution. The other organizations may have had other reasons for joining in the suit. But for CORE, the issue was very clear. We had learned from past history. “The history of gun control in America,” Malcolm X often said, “is the history of racial and class suppression.” Malcolm X was talking about the strict interpretation of the Sec- ond Amendment. People have the right to protect themselves. Dur- ing slavery, Blacks were prohib- ited from owning firearms. And, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Taney put an exclamation point on that practice when he wrote, in Dred Scott v. Sandfrom (1857), that “the Negro had no rights which the White man was bound to respect. . . “ Following the Civil War, it took the Freedman’s Bureau Act of 1866 and the first portion of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution to nullify Jim Crow laws passed to keep Blacks from owning or carry- ing guns. Blacks had good reasons for wanting that right regained. The Ku Klux Klan and many redneck sheriff's deputies were picking off unarmed Blacks as if they were skeet. Writer Dan Gifford tells the story of how Blacks in Monroe, North Carolina, armed themselves to ward off the Klan on October 5, 1957. Eighty carloads of Klansmen were rode into town to harass Dr. Albert Perry, a local civil rights leader. What greeted them were several hundred rounds of ammu- nition the Blacks required free of charge from the U.S. Army, through their National Rifle Asso- ciation chapter. Certainly, the call for getting guns out of the hands of criminals is warranted. But I am not acrimi- nal, however. Now, I carry a gun—legally. The courts say it is my constitutional right due to certain reasonable conditions. Min. Farrakhan and His ‘Staff’ Count me among those Blacks who condemn racist and anti- semitic rhetoric. Count me among those who feel that anyone saying: “when Blacks gain control of South Africa they should give Whites 24-hours to leave and then kill those who re- main including babies, the blind and women,” amounts to a vile and racist diatribe with services absolutely no useful purpose. Count me among those who be- lieve that references to the Pope of Rome as a “no-good cracker,” are disrespectful and not worthy of anyone who sets him or herself up as a leader or a role model. Count me among those who agree that ANYONE who says Jews “are the bloodsuckers of the Black Nation,” “own the Federal Reserve,” control the White House “from behind the scenes,” and have names like Rubenstein, Goldstein and Silverstein because they have been “stealing rubies and gold and silver all over the Earth,” has spo- ken in condemnable anti-Semitic terms. Nowcomes Muslim Minister Dr. Khalid Abdul Muhammad who said all that and more in a Novem- ber speech at Kean College in Union, N.J., according to tapes and transcripts released by the Anti- Defamation League. OUCH! Dr. Muhammadisa former Long Beach State University Black Studies professor, a Black-belt Karate athlete, who helped orga- nize the recent Crips-Bloods Anti- Violence Summit that led toa truce in gang fighting in Los Angeles. His STRONG speech is heard on recent videos by “gangsta rappers” Ice-Cube and Ice-T. Talk about someone using the so-called “bully- pulpit ...” I've known Dr. Muhammad for several years, and to call him a “bully” would be seen by him as a complement. To say in the words of the rap-culture that he’s a “roughneck” would be an under- statement. He relishes living up to his historical namesake-Khalid bin-Walid-a companion of the Prophet Muhammad of Arabia , 1400 years ago. That Khalid was known as “the sword of Islam.” So now, just as his leader-the Hon. Louis Farrakhan-has been reaching out to try to mend his own unfairly tarnished image as a race-hater and an anti-Semitic, here comes rough-neck, badboy, bully, Dr. Khalid Abdul Muhammad, making statements it would appear no sensitive or politically correct person can stom- ach. If Dr. Muhammad was my Min- ister, he would have long ago been shark-food, because I would have thrown him overboard to swim with the sharks of invective and shrill denunciation, the barracu- das of “interposition an nullifica- tion” of his own making, rather than protecting him, as Min. Farrakhan has done in this instance. Now, after going out of his way to open up in friendly meetings with Chicago columnist Irv Kupcinet, with super-talk host Larry King and other Whites, here comes someone from with-in his own ranks who appears to me to be nothing more than a trouble-maker and provocateur whose dangerous purpose has now been served, be- cause Min. Farrakhan and all those he represents who would open a dialogue with Jewish critics, are back beyond the proverbial “square one.” “They’re trying to use my brother Khalid’s words against me to di- vide the house. . . They don’t want Farrakhan to do what he’s doing. They're plotting as we speak,” Min. Farrakhan said last Monday night during a two-hour speech to 10,000 Black men in Harlem. Although Dr. Muhammad was in the audi- ence, he was not seated in a place of honor on the speaker’s podium, and Min. Farakhan refused to publicly chastise his aide. He said instead he would not let Dr. Muhammad's ill-timed remarks draw him (Farrakhan) into the same abyss that divided the Hon. Elizaj Muhammad from his Min. Malcolm X more than 30 years Unfortunately in this instance, the “they” who are “plotting” to “divide the house,” may in fact be residents of it. And in my opinion the matter would best be resolved by Min. Farrakhan and his loose- lipped, loose-canon, plo chaatio motor-mouthing-off disciple, in Coney ; A oe sia WEEK ENDING APRIL 23, 1994 Our Minority elected officials shown here... would like to urge each and everyone to get out and vote on May 3rd, reminding you that our forefathers, and mothers fought and shed blood to give us that privilege.

From the Desk of Beatrice Maye BEATRICE MAYE The Seven (7) Words From The Cross The Seven(7) sentences spoken by Jesus on the Cross: The lst, addressed to God, con- cern Christ’s enemies: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do”. (Luke 23:34). The next two were spoken to people: (1) to the penitent thief: “Verily, I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43); (2) to the mother of Christ and to John: “Women, be- hold thy son... Behold thy mother” (John 19:26). The 4th was a cry to God in the words of Psalm 22:1:“Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?”. . . “My God, my God, why hasn’t thous forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46), (Mark 15:34), The 5th was a simple statement of physical need: “I thirst.” John 19:28. The 6th also was a statement: “It is finished”, (John 19:30), The 7th, like the lst, was ad- dressed to God in words echoing (Psalm 31:5): “Father, into thy hands Icommend my Spirit”, (only in Luke 23:46).

JEALOUSY vs ENVY Jealousy makes us afraid of los- ing someone we love. Envy makes us wonder what is wrong with us. Jealousy is the fear of losing someone you do have; envy is the desire to get something you do not have. Jealousy flares up when some- one else is getting attention that we feel should be our own. We may be jealous of people’s affections, but we are envious of their posses- sions. People plagued by these feelings have three similar personality characteristics: They have a low opinion of themselves; they see a large gap between how and what they were versus how and what they would ideally like to be; and they highly value visible achieve- ments, like wealth, fame and physi- cal appearance. How do the jealous cope? They resort to sarcasm or physical vio- lence. From: Susan Goodman's HEALTH & FITNESS NEWS SERVICE ENVY “Envy is usually the mother of gossip”. “Jealousy is to the soul what sickness is to the body”. “One blessing in being poor, hon- est, and hard-working is that no- body envies you”. “There are many roads to hate, but envy is one of the shortest of them all”, “Nothing depreciates a car faster than having a neighbor buy a new one”.
