’ THE 'M EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA'S MINORITY VOICE - SINCE 1981 The struggle for justice continues The Coalition Asainst Racism (CAR) announced that while some progress has been realized In the current project of picket- ing a local Piggly Wiggly store, there remains some demands yet to be met. CAR further states that a fa- vorable ruling by the Employ- ment Security Commission for Shawan Sutton supports their claim that Ms. Sutton was fired from her job as acashter unfairly and had, indeed, been dis-crimi- nated against In a recent press conference with the media, CAR informed the public that three of the de- mands had been agreed upon by one of the three Piggly Wiggly owners. However, it was felt that these concessions were merely symbolic gestures that fll far short of the goals sought bciween CAR and Piggly Wiggly. CAR further stated that they MISS JOYCE TYSON, one of the former employees of Piggly ATTENTION: People: Support "African-American Those Advertisers Who Support You believe Piggly Wiggly ownersh is attempting to lure the commu- nity into believing that these pro- posals: — to provide a 10% refund from total receipts on an annual basis to churches; — to re-hire Shawan Sutton with acash payment of $2,500.00; — and 50% of senior manage- ment by African American by January 1, 1997; are their idea and to cast a negative shadow on CAR. CAR states that these donationg would not have been realized if CAR had not ordered a Selective Buying Plan against Piggly Wig- gly . According to CAR, “Our first obligation is to Ms. Sutton, who was unfairly fired from her job. Until a solution is amicable, we have no, recourse but to con- tinue picketing for justice.” Wiggly, gives her remarks at a recent press conference sponsored by C-A-R. Staff Photo by Jim Rouse s Racism primarily a GUY thing? Some =a ¥ ‘oa @ ne By ED SCHAFER Contributing Writer Is racism primarily a guy thing? A pair of recent studies at Washington University in St Louis suggests it might be. In the studies, small groups of men and small groups of women were assigned to solve a prob- lem. Several groups were used, with varying mixtures of blacks and whites. The mixed-race male groups appeared to be hampered by con- flicts over dominance and con- trol when they tried to work to- gether and solve the problem. But the women seemed to be comfortable regardless of the group’s makeup, researchers said. “This could be very important. Many researchers have assumed that men and women behave pretty much the same when it comes toracial issues,” said Larry E. Davis; a professor of social work and psychology and one of the co-aulhors. “But our findings suggest that this is a false assumption. Obvi- ously, more research is required, but our sludy definitely raises the question of whether racism ‘searchers think so is foremost a male thing.” The National Science Founda- tion funded the work by Davis and Michael J. Strube, a profes- sor of psychology in arts and sci- ences To keep costs down, Davis’ and Strube’s work initially limited their work to how mixed-race groups of men solve problems. Each of 30 four-person groups was placed in a room and asked to work together on a decision- making task. Participants later compleled a questionnaire that allowed researchers to assess how individual members viewed Ihe experience, including satis- faction with group performance, confidence in group decisions and willingness to work with the group in the future. The results werc striking, an expert said, in questioning whether companies, courts, schools an other institu- tions may be wrong in assuming that the best teams for solving problems arc ones with good ra- cial mix. “It’s a great contribution,” said Charles Garvin, professor of so- Eastern North Carolina's Minority Voice "What's at stake here is the very future of all of our children and the nation" Joe Madison, on crack cocaine and the CIA Bertie - Windsor Tarboro - Sharpsburg Rocky Mount-Plymouth Kinston and Wilson hee ine \ Jn gue LAY AR .

Soldiers for racial justice must fight By Keith Cooper On November 1, 1996, the Coa- lition Against Racism launched a selective buying campaign to Black election victories and defeats BY ASKIA MUHAMMAD Amid the sadness of electoral defeat for North Carolina Demo- cratic Party Senate candidate Harvey Gantt and Wash ington, D.C. Umoja Party candidates Mark Thompson, Rahim Jen- kins, Rick Malachi and George Pope, there is one major victory. - In the three most important races as far as Black people are concerned this election there was a major win, the re elec tion of Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D Ga. ). Her decisive victory is the most liberating outcome of this elec- tion cycle. First, her majority Black population district was outlawed by the U.S. Supreme Sourt and redrawn into a major- ity white one. Then, became of her courageous refusal to vote for a House resolution condemn- ing Min. Louis Farrakhan, for a speech by one of the Nation of Islam leader’s former rep resentatives, she was the target of a vicious race-baiting cam- paign targeting normally liberal Jewish voters. With McKinney’s 58 to 42 per- cent win over Republican John Mitnick, she has trumped, once and for all, the “race card,” and the “anti-Semitic card.” Her vic- tory margin was larger even than that of fellow Black Rep. Sanford Bishop(D-Ga.), who won 54 to 46 percent over another white Re- publican in a si.nilarly re- distristed race. With Rep. McKinney's victory as an ex- ample, no longer can bigots we the honorable principle of de- served solidarity with Min. Farrakhan as a wedge to intimi- date elected officials with the threat that whites will judge them, solely on the basis of how they play the “Farrakhan card.” This doesn’t mean that weak- ‘kneed Black politicians will now find their back-bones and stand up and follow the Nation of Is- lam leader’s courageous ex- ample, but it is a new day for those who will be fair and open- minded...even white politicians can now look at Min. Farrakhan in a new “objective” light. In addition to the victories of Reps. McKinney and Bishop in now white majority districts, Texas Reps. Sheila Jackson-Lee and Eddie Bernice Johnson were also re elected in districts with Supreme Court ordered new bounduies. Also, in Indiana, Re- elect Julia Carson (D-In.), de- feated a white Republican in a majority white district, and will become the newest member of the Congressional Black Caucus in the otherwise disappointing, Republican dominated 106th (Continued on page 3) stop unfair, discriminatory hir- ing and firing practices at the Dickinson Avenue Piggly Wig- sly. Before the picket line was formed, CAR made numerous attempts to negotiate a resolu- tion to the problem. Yet, Rick Jackson, co-owner, doesn't be- lieve fire burns. Bishop Randy Royal and others asked Rick Jackson to rehire Shawann Sutton who was fired after a re- fusal to sell cigarettes to a fif- teen-year-old white girl. The white girl’s mother stormed in- side the store and shouted racial obscenities (“black nigger”, “black bitch”) at the African- American cashiers, one of which was Mrs. Sutton. Piggly Wiggly traditionally has discriminated against its Afri- can-American customers and employees. Prior to the picket- ing, Piggly Wiggly had roughly a 97% African-American clientele. Yet, our people, especially women, have been disrespected, used, and abused for too long by Piggly Wiggly. Wake up African- American sisters and brothers and smell the coffee. We must stand together and demand re- spect or we will fall asunder in defeat and shame. Let’s become warriors for racial justice by join- ing the picket line on the battle- field of Piggly Wiggly. Every sis- ter and brother reading this ap- peal have a moral obligation to participate in the picketing until Jackson is brought to his knees. A racial or discriminatory act left unanswered and unchal- lenged may be likened to African American men and women being “bull whipped” or smashed with Staff Photo by Jim Rouse On batons, reminiscent of the gloom and dvom days of the 1890’s and 1960's. When Jackson supports price inflation, unfair check-cashing practices, and discrimination against African-American s, the elderiy and’ African-American customers become victimized. Therefore, the picketing must continue until the specific de- mands of CAR are met in their entirety. Further, a friend of mine reminded me about how cantan- kerous Piggly Wiggly can be when, in 1965, she picketed a Piggly Wiggly (in Ayden) whose management refused to hire Af- rican-Americans. Seemingly, many Piggly Wiggly stores have a predisposition clouded by acts of racial hatred and enmity to- ward African-Americans. Lately, white customers have been patronizing Jackson’s store like never before. Awhite cus- tomer recently said that although he had not shopped at Piggly Wiggly in fifteen years, he feels obligated to keep Jackson in busi- ness. This outrageously ignorant comment evidences the urgency of CAR’s struggle to combat those who seek to add more fuel to the raging fire of racism ignited by narrow-minded characters like Rick Jackson. Last but not least, I ask my brothers and sisters to join us (CAR) on the battlefield as we challenge the aforementioned bigotry and arrogance charac- teristic of Jackson. Together, we will carry the blood-stained banner to victory. Indeed, there is light at the end of the tunnel. \ om cial work at the University of THIS LOVELY LADY IS SISTER Angel Savage who is stands proudly by her son, Ryan, and other youngsters who were cited recently for their participation in the “POPS WARNER FOOTBALL BANQUET”.

In situations involving all-male work groups, a racial balance could be the worst case scenario.” The study was repeated with women when Davis and Strube had funds left over. roy aie re et poe $e © Te rom Name To get your "M" Voice by mail write to: The "M" Voice Newspaper PO Box 8361 Greenville, NC 27834 SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENT MUST BE INCLUDED WITH ORDER _.

The initial groups had one black and three whiles, two ofeach, and three blacks and one white.

Your fingers can pick up cold viruses (which are capable of living for several hours on sur- faces such as telephones, door handles and computer keyboards). Make aneffort to clean your hands frequently. throughout the day. 2. Avoid touching your nose and eyes. These are entry points for cold viruses. And if you want to kiss someone, limit it to a peck on the cheek (or forehead). 3. Be carefree. Some experts believe that keeping stress under control may boost your immune system. A laboratory study con- ducted by Carnegie Mellon Uni- versity in Pittsburgh found that the lower a person’s stress level was, the more likely she would be to fight off a cold virus. 4. Keep mucous membranes moist. The air in heated rooms can dry out the tissues of your nose and throat. This in turn dries up mucus - a protective barrier against cold viruses. So humidify the air and drink lots of fluids - preferably eight glasses daily.

Book Review SUCCESS AT WORK, AGUIDE FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS by Anita Doreen Diggs Table of Contents 1. Finding a job 2. Translating common words and phrases 3. Bosses 4. Co-workers 5. Succeeding as a manager 6. Entrepreneurship The purpose of this book is to help blacks who do not come from middle-class backgrounds learn how to get along in the business world, Move up the ladder and branch out into their own enter- prise. Learn how to get along with white people - why not let white people worry about getting along with you? The fact is, they don’t need to. It is possible for a white person to build an empire or sim- ply lead an average life without getting to know any black people. Getting ahead in a predomi- nantly white corporate environ- ment can be tricky and sometimes infuriating because you need to hold your tongue, tread lightly and dodge the delicate issue of race which will face you every step of the way. Remember, believe in yourself, work hard, always keep your goal in sight, learn your craft, absorb as much knowledge as possible and keep moving up until you can get out. ATruth: Most of us take better care of our cars than we do of ourselves. You can’t turn back the clock, but you can rewind it. “To do two things at once is to do neither”. Publius Syrus “Work spares us from three great evils: boredom, vice(immorality), and need”. Voltaire “Success is never final and fail- ure never fatal. It’s courage that counts”. George F. Tilton “It’s not enough to be busy...the question is: What are we busy about?” Henry David Thoreau COMMON FOODS THAT KEEP YOU HEALTHY From: JET Magazine, October The following is a list of 10 foods that not only will pro better health but also will add years to your life; 1.

Should her parents have to pay child support? Or if a student skips classes, should Dad be forced to pay a fine? Does it make sense to press charges against a single mom if her teenage son rapes a 12- year-old girl? These things have actually happened in recent years, indicating that Mom and Dad had better be careful what you do. But then the Supreme Court made a ruling last year that 16 year old murderers can be executed for their crimes. It gets a little confusing, doesn’t it? Who is responsible for whom? We can conclude that even though parents exert a strong in fluence over their children’s behavior, each if you read the first 20 verses of Ezekiel 18, you know how God views personal responsi bility. Verses 5 through 9 describe a righ- teous man. Verses 10 through 13 describle his unrighteous son. And verses 14 through 17 describe the righteous man who descended from both. In all three cases, the Lord held each person responsible for his own actions (v.20). It all boils down to this: We can’t excuse our bad behavior (temper, harmful habits, or lack of love) by blaming our parents. Sure, they’l] have to give account to the Judge of the universe for the example, how we choose to live, is our re- sponsibility. The lesson: “What we become depends on what we choose”. From: Campus Journal, Octo- ber 1996 To Think About: “Prayer is a family matter” “You never lose when you choose Christ”. “When life gets stormy, cling to the Rock”. BALANCING Do you balance your business and personal lives well? Does your spouse complain you spend all your time at work? Do you miss family events - dinners, kids games, an- niversaries? Have your children begun to misbehave? Are their grades slipping? Do you suffer from chronic head- aches or fatigue? Are you gaining (or losing) too much weight? Do you work incessantly and still miss dead lines? “Yes” answers to these questions may be a warning that your busi- ness is out of balance. In most occupations, some people have difficulty separating business and personal lives. A steady diet of long hours is poor mental nutri- tion. Often workaholics are as guilty as neglecting themselves as they are their families. Working through lunch hour is unhealthy, too. Just as you grow in your professional life so should you grow in your personal life. Be accessible to spouses and children. Setting unreasonable goals may cause you to end up with ulcers or in the hospital or a loss of family. So balance your business and per- sonal lives.

These events — the extermi- nation of half a million people (mostly ethnic Tutsi) in Rwanda the flight of over one million (mostly ethnic Hutu) into neigh- boring Zaire, the massacres and pillaging of Zairians of Tutsi ori- gin'at the hands of Hutu militias and their allies in the Zairian army, and the recent rebellion by those Zairian Tutsis — are pre- sented to us by the media as sim- ply cases of African tribal blood- From Page | Congress. Like former Georgia State Sen. Julian Bond during the Vietnam era, Rep. McKinney was a coura- geous opponent of rampant American militarism. Just as Bond was condemned by the Georgia legislature for his oppo- sition to the Vietnam War, McKinney was also condemned by her colleagues when she served in the State House, for her opposition to “Operation Desert Storm,” the lopsided US war against Iraq in 1991. Her courage did not just begin with her progressive outlook toward Min Farrakhan The only sad comment on her campaign is that her own father and political men- tor, State Rep Billy McKinney | (D), was thrown over board and banned from the McKinney con- gressional cam palgn after apolo- gizing for call Mitnic}, who is Jewish, “a racist Jew.” It wasn't his characterization of the Republi can as a racist that got Mr. McKinney in hot water with white voters; it was his use of the “J-word.” Of course, racial, reli- gious and ethnic stereotypes of individuals and groups are un- fair and should not be used at Linda Ward 756-4911 Home: 238-2474 756-5411 SSS a —_—_— CO ( c 3 Z, = = one, UO > ew XZ + 2S nie ome, At VIP Mortgage, When Others Say "NO", We say "YES" 8 Singlewides With Land - | (Refinancing) letting. But in fact, these tragic events have their origin not only in long-term tribal rivalries, but in African political struggles as well, exacerbated in many cases by foreign intervention. The most recent eruption of mass violence broke out in April 1 994, after Central African leaders had brokered a fragile peace ac- cord between the Hutu-dominated government of Rwanda and the Rwandan Patriotic Front. The RPF is a rebel group made up of ethnic Tutsis whohad been driven by the Hutu government into ex- ile in neighboring Uganda a gen- eration ago. Fearing that this accord would bring about a multi-partisan gov- Victories and defeats any time, by anyone. Inthis case, now, maybe the orrant use of the “J word” will no longer be pun- ishable by a political death sen tence. In California, voters made two otherwise incompatible choices, voting ballot initiative measures. First, like the 1966 repall of a California fair housing law, Cali- fornians proved they never maa bigoted ballot initiative they didn't lilce, by voting to enact the California “Civil Wrongs” mea- sure, abolishing state-supported affirmative action Then, by al- most the same margin of sup- port, Californians approved a radically-liberal initiative to le- galize marijuana use for medical treatment of certain patients. | heard a conserva tive news ob- server remark privately that Califomians were voting to “get high and screw Black people.” Go figure. All in all, this election pro- vided one big, big national congressonal victory, a couple of other smaller congressional wins for Blacks, a sad defeat, and a sad, sad national defeat of the Umoja Party-candidate in the nation’s capital.

They directed their genocidal campaign not only against the Tutsis, but also against Hutus who would not join them in the slaughter. In the space of three months, at least 500,000 (and perhaps as many as 750,000) people were murdered. The killing of the Tutsi and their Hutu allies only abated: when the Rwandan Patriotic Front launched a major offensive, driving the armies and militias of the Hutu extremist regime into the west of Rwanda, near the Zaire border. By this time the French, who had been supplying military as- sistance to the extremist Hutu regime up to the eve of the massa- cre, sought and obtained approval from the United Nations Security Council to send a military fo rce to Rwanda on a “humanitarian mis- sion.” The French intervention came too late to stop the murder of the Tutsi, but provided a shield be- hind which the Hutu military re- treated from the advancing RPF and escaped into Zaire. As they retreated, the Hutu militias ter- rorized tens of thousands of Hutu civilians into fleeing with them. The arrival of the Hutu refu-, gees and their military escort in Zaire provided Zaire’s discredited dictator, Mobuhl Sese Seko, with a new lease on political life. To meet the needs of 1.5 million refu- gees dying of cholera, starvation, and exposure the international community had to deal with Mobutu, who they had begun to diplomatically to ice out because of his refusal to cede power to a democratic transitional goverment. Mobutu “allowed” foreign troops to come into Zaire to support the logistics of bringing clean water, shelter, food and medical supplies to refugees. His corrupt army and officials demanded bribes from relief organizations to land their cargo planes, looted supplies and equipment from them, and shook down terrified refugees for every- thing they owned before letting them across the border. Mobutu had always been closely allied with the Hutu extremist regime, and thus his government did not disclaim the remnants of the Hutu militias, or separate the murderous militia members from innocent civilians. On the con- trary, Hutu militias controlled the camps and prevented civilians from repatriating, and used the camps as staging points to attack the new RPF governments in Rwanda. For two years these camps festered, absorbing $1 mil- lion a day in foreign assistance, and benefiting no one except Mobutu, the criminal clique that rules that part of Zaire. and the THE “M"-VOICE- WEEK OF NOVEMBER 22 - DEC What is behind the refugee crisis in Zaire? — his movement to overthrow the Rwandan war criminals en- sconced there. , Last month, the impasse was broken by the entry of a new po- litical player: the Alliance of Democratic Forces for the Libera- tion of Congo-Zaire, whose main force is the Banyamulenge — Zairians of Tutsi heritage who have borne the brunt of Mobutu- inspired ethnic violence. The nominal leader of this group is Laurent Kabila, who has fought Mobutu for 30 years. In three weeks Kabila forces broke up the camps, driving both the Hutu militias and the Zairian hoops away from the border zone, and seizing the area’s three main cities. (Unfortunately, many Hutu refugees fled with the troops, who in some cases used these inno- cents as human shields.) This ac- tion has created a new humani- tarian emergency, but it has also radically changed the political situation on the ground. Kabila has called on all Zairians to resist Mobutu provocation to ethnic strife, and to instead join violence and corruption of the Mobuhl regime. He has declared a unilateral ceasefire, to facili- tate the entry of relief organiza- tions, and has said his army has no objections to an international force being deployed to free the refugees from their criminal cap- tors. : Meanwhile, President Clinton has approved the deployment of thousands of U.S. troops as part of a multi-lateral force. But the fear remains that the West’s ef- forts to “save innocent lives” will once again prolong the murder- ous Mobutu regime. Lenora B.

The Neptune, NJ native has completed 51.5% of his passes. Harley though, a high school team-mate of Gonzalez, has emerged as an elite player. In nine games this season Harley has averaged 138.8 yards per game, seventh best in the coun- try. For the season Harley has 1249 rushing yards plus 20 catches The receiving corps is deep and talented. Senior Mitchell Galloway (5-10, 174) has used his great speed to become the Pirates’ all-time receptions leader with 120. Junior Jason Nichols (5-11, 178) isn’t far be- hind with 103 career receptions. The big play man however this season has been junior Larry Shannon (6-6, 205). Shannon leads Kast Carolina with six touchdown catches. Memphis traditionally has struggled against ECU. The Pi- rates lead the series 4-2 after winning the 1995 meeting 31-17 in Greenville.

Having the probationers in one location all day, we can be more vigilant in our drug test- ing,” Freeman said. “We get some of the worst cases, and knowing more about an individual’s be- havior means we can act faster ‘to put someone in jail or prison if necessary.” Freeman said the shared information of the groups working at the center helps him make decisions. “A counselor may see an offender whois disruptive in class as having potential to change and I will back off on the arrest. On the other hand, some- one may be doing well on his tests, but ready to explode, and the counselor will alert me.” The director of the Wake County Day Incarceration Cen- ter, Tom McLoughlin, has cre- ated an index of behavior which charts the programs the offend- ers are in and measures their progress. “Substance abuse is the big- P.O.

We have strict standards of behavior. We ex- pect them to stumble, but just once, then they learn not to fight the system. “ McLoughlin said they praise the offenders for the good things they do and explain why they are doing well. Many he said, have never been given that kind of National AIDS Hotline prepares for World AIDS Day, Dec. | The National AIDS Hotline is scheduling additional telephone counselors for World AIDS Day, Dec. 1, to prepare for the expected surge in calls that day. In 1995, nearly 24,000 people called the hotline on Dec. 1, more than five times the number of call- ers on an average day. “Last year, we noted an unusual number of people calling for infor- mation on how to volunteer with their local AIDS service organiza- tions,” said hotline director Ami Israel. “We are happy to provide that information, along with in- formation about HIV/AIDS and referrals to local testing sites and other resources.” Free and confidential, the Na- tional AIDS Hotline is operated by the American Social Health Asso- ciation under contract with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The hotline’s English service, '(800) 342-2437, operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Spanish language service, (800) 344-7432, operates from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. (Eastern) seven days a week. The hotline also serves deaf call- ers through its TTY service, (800) 243-7889, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. (Eastern) Monday through Friday. B praise.

McLoughlin said employers are knocking on their door asking when these fellows are going to be finished so they can hire them at $8 an hour. An offender who goes through 11 weeks of voca- tional training has as much skill as someone who has worked in a regular job for nine months or a year, he said. The only job Robert Washing: time drug offenders ton had before learning refrig- eration was working at fast food restaurants. At first he said he wasn't interested in learning about refrigeration but now he looks forward to getting a job in that field and supporting hisnew- born son. , Hyper-active Ken Derobbio, who was computer illiterate, learned about thermostats and solving mechanical problems through a computer program and classroom training. The only work this 17 year-old had before was breaking into houses. He now would like to own his own heating and air-conditioning business one day.

Correction Secretary Franklin Freeman praised Wake County's Criminal Justice Partnership program saying, “Offenders who are given this intensive supervi- sion combined with education. and treatment are more likely never to see the inside of a prison cell.

Meister. “The absence of spirits from television and radio has con- tributed to the mistaken percep- tion that spirits are somehow “harder” or worse than beer or wine and thus cescrving of harsher social, polit: ab and le- gal treatrnent Recent intro- duced federal fegislation and initiatives have inap- propriately sought to use the DISCUS Code as the basis for discrimmation avast distilled spirits adver kor these reasons we have now amended our Code of Good Practice.” regulator) tising.
