This ugly theory of Murray, Herrnstein and their friends is nothing less than an arrogant and evil misuse of science and power. Murray and Herrnstein are little more than a couple of smart asses! Their theory, along with other at- tacks, was designed to give direc- tion, form and substance to free- floating White resentments and keep the focus on White supremacy as. fanned by special interest groups. Answer this The only questions I have for Drs. Murray and Herrnstein are, if Blacks are so inferior, why are you so afraid of us? Any why; if Blacks are too stu- pid to help themselves, would you suggest removing help fromthem? Seeing as how they can’t help them- selves, is the plan to allow them to die, or perhaps as Dr. Murray sug- gests, they become wards of the state, a/k/a slaves?

The part-time actor wearing a turban-like bandage around his head and another around his left hand grimaced at the jury. He popped painkillers. He winked at his friends. And he wore a bullet- proof vest. Several jurors winced and nudged each other as Shakur struggled to stand and then propped himself up against the defense table. The jury remained in the court- Guilty room for 10 minutes as Shakur, his face twisted in agony, washed down painkillers with a cup of mineral water. _ The judge did not mention Shakur’s injuries. Once the jurors made their exit, Shakur grinned at his friends and then quickly left. Seven Nation of Islam bodyguards wheeled him out of the courtroom and aggressively pushed away reporters who tried to question him. Shakur maintains that Wednesday’s shooting was some kind of “setup.” With Mark Mooney and George Rush Clayton appoints new Staffers Congresswoman Eva. M.

Now, even after it has been disclosed that Smith was lying, it only fur- ther confirms how easy and conve- — nient it is to lay the blame on a Black man, to make himthe scape- goat, the malevolent bogeyman. But her confession is not clem- ency, nor does it provide us with comfort. Rev. Al Sharpton put the inci- . dent in perspective last Saturday at P.S. 175. “She knew that if she claimed a Black did it, they would go with it,” Sharpton asserted. “They talk about how she was crazy and didn’t know what she was doing; well, she was sane enough to say a Black man did it. You see, all of us Blacks are suspect in America.” Sadly, there isnothing new about Susan Smith’s criminal reflexes, her Medea-like action. The annals of American history are overflow- ing with case after case of Black men being falsely accused of mur- der, rape and other crimes. Check - out Ralph Ginzburg’s “100 Years of Lynching” (Black Classic Press, 1988) and witness some of the al- leged rape charges that led to the death of Black men. Remember the Scottsboro boys of the 1930s? These nine African- Americans, from ages 13-21, were snatched from a freight train in 1931in Alabama and charged with the gang rape of two White women. Spared the chair Despite questionable evidence, they were tried, found guilty and sentenced to the electric chair. After several years of trials and the dedicated work of the Commu- nist Party and the NAACP, they were spared the chair, but half of them served long jail sentences. Add to this the case of Willie McGee, a Mississippi truck driver whose White lover accused him of rape in 1945 after her husband discovered the affair. He was elec- trocuted in 1951. And there were other noted cases of Black men begin unjustly charged and convicted on the ba- sis of flimsy evidence. The Tren- ton Sixin 1948 were condemned to death for allegedly murdering a White man. They were sentenced to terms of life imprisonment. The Martinsville Seven of Vir- ginia were convicted by all White jury for allegedly raping a White woman in 1949. Nationwide pro- test were to no avail, and by 1951 all of them were executed. Alittle over five years ago, there was the Stuart affair in Boston. In this incident, asin the Smith hoax, a Black man was blamed in a carjacking and the death of Carol Stuart. It was later discovered that Charles Stuart had killed his preg- nant wife as they returned home from child birth class. Unlike the Smith episode, sev- eral Black men were apprehénded and one, Willie Bennett, charged with the crime. Stuart eventually committed suicide when his big lie began to fall apart. The Stuart and Smith charges unraveled, but how many other Black men are incarcerated or dead because of the lies perpetrated by White men and women? So long as this society is able to keep a fresh veneer on the stereotype of the Black man as beast, monster and ogre, We can expect to be hounded and hunted as fall guys. And aracistclimate that bristles with a Bob Grant, a Charles Murray and his infamous “Bell Curve,” and the racist confessions of David Milch, co-creator of the popular TV show “NYPD Blue,” signals that things will get much worse before they get better.

This year was no exception. African American leaders around thecoun- try are beginning to analyze what the Republican victory means for the Black community, what it means for the Democratic Party and what it means for the future of Black participation in independent License requirements for pesticides Application of certain pesticides requires licensing. Here are some recorninendations for proper use of pesticides in North Carolina. The Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, classifies some pesticides as “restricted use,” which means they can only be pur- chased and used by certified/i- censed applicatots or under their direct supervision. Except for re- stricted use pesticides, horneowners may apply pesticides to property they own or lease with- out a license. However, according to state law, anyone who applies any pesticide on “lands or proper- ties of another” in North Carolina rnust have a pesticide applicator licellse. The term “land,” as de- fined by law, includes all land and water areas, all plants, animals, portant to follow label directions for use, storage and disposal. In- formation on the label must be approved by the EPA and is en- forceable by law. Following label directions helps to prevent inju- ries to people, animals, plants and the environment. Take the steps to obtain the ap- politics. On November 21 in New York, three weeks after conservative Republican George Pataki was elected governor, Black leaders met at the Memorial Baptist Church in Harlem, at the invita- tion of Reverend Al Sharpton. at- tended by some 50 Black leaders from around the state, the meet- ing included Democrats (among them State Senator David Pater- son) Republicans (among them Hempstead mayor Jim Gardner) and independents (among them myself, now the chair of the Com- mittee for a Unified Independent Party and an activist in Indepen- dence Fusion, New York’s newest ballot status party; along with at- 3 towaed Black unity ¢ torney Colin Moore, a leader of the Freedom Party). The independent option has come of age for the Black community over the last year; its inclusion in the most criti- cal dialogue on strategies for our empowerment is, in my opinion, a significant development. The participants at the Novem- ber 21 meeting decided to organize for a statewide Black political con- vention to be held within the next few months. The organizing com- mittee, led by Reverend Sharpton, includes Democrats, Republicans and independents. Reverend Sharpton and I agreed at the meeting that it was critical that the Black convention create an environment in which diverse | for Holiday Cash, call us!

Unfortunately, such an environ- ment was not created during the recently completed election sea- son in New York; in certain Black leadership circles it was effectively open season on me. I was attacked for being an independent (some- thing our community desperately needs), for a rking with whites (something every Black leader does); and for not being a “real Democrat’ (this by a Black Demo- cratic Party elected official who was working for the white incum- bent governor I was challenging). Virtually no one in Black leader- ship circles stood up to stop those attacks. Since the first meeting of this group of Black leaders, I have been singled out for attack by one Black newspaper writer (who in the past has called Reverend Sharpton a “scumbag”). I have asked Rever- end Sharpton to insist upon a fair framework for the conduct of the convention and to set a strict stan- Give ‘em a Twice the space.

General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) by a vote of 288 to 146. The Senate will voted on the bill December 1. “The World Trade Organization will not take away sovereignty and will open up trade in agricultural industries,” said Clayton. “I be- lieve that the Uruguay Round is significant in providing United States’ industries with the oppor- tunity to expand into markets which have traditionally shunned U.S. products through high tariffs and non-tariff barriers.” A tariff suspension bill, H.R. 2920, introduced by Clayton in “The inclusion of the tariff sus- pension bill translates into hun- dreds of jobs for textile workers for the citizens of North Carolina,” said Clayton. “The concerns I had regarding the textile, peanut and tobacco industries were satisfac- torily answered and I think this legislation will be beneficial to North Carolinians.” The GATT Trade Agreement will reduce overall international trade barriers including tariffs, imports quotas, and export subsidies. The agreement is not scheduled$o take effect until July 1, 1995. 3 Clayton announces pact to protect Roanoke River key, black bear, bald eagle and bobcat.
