officials for jeopardizing federal
funding by rejecting HEW’s plan.

However, one does not discriminate
against an entire race of people. Once
“discrimination” is carried to such a
point, the practice is described as racism
or systematic oppression. This is not
meant to be a frivolous play period with
semantics. It is an attempt to clarify and
correct the issues of comparison at hand.
Of course, false illusions may not be too
hard to bear in and of themselves.
However, when illusions must be main
tained by keeping people from getting
enough food, securing jobs, going to
school, using pubhc facilities, etc., they
can no longer be tolerated. Black people en
masse began to verbally and actively
protest against the conditions they were
forced to live in. Subtle tactics were
initially used and gains were made.
Subsequently, the protests became more
active and violent and gains were made.
People, buildings, and houses were
destroyed. Then a larger number of
reform measures ensued, aimed at ap
peasing Black people—appeasing Black
people’s protests against the racism which

cannot see why college students
always look down on Christians—
they are humans just like anyone
else.
People are afraid that they

parents had lived with all their lives.
One of the most recent measures, which
this article focuses upon, is affirmative
action. It is only one of the means that has
been used to give Black people op
portunities which are as equivalent as
possible with those of whites in order to
survive the stench of oppression.
Some people seem to feel that Alan
Bakke and the Black student who sup
posedly has his space in medical school
had equal opportunities of getting in. Isn’t
it interesting that the “equal op
portunities” we supposedly have haven’t
put us on an equal economic, political, or
educational footing with whites? The
Black middle-class is not economically
equal to the white middle-class. The
election of a Black president has not even
been a remote possibility. Black students
continue to achieve lower scores than
whites on tests which they had an “equal
opportunity” to take. There are countless
examples in other areas of Black people’s
lives in which these discrepancies may be
seen.

That’s it—God will do it for you.
If I had a choice between being
saved or not, I know which I’d
now choose. I’d rather be saved.

Herbert Farrish. Hillsboro: I’m
concerned about the outcome of
the Bakke Case and the impact
it'll have on minorities. What will
happen if the doors will be barred
to them if standardized test
scores are the only means of
getting m graduate school?
I’m also concerned about the
decrease of job opportunities and
the increase in the number of
graduates.
