No policy, however, has met with stiffer opposition than the President's proposals to chance the Social Security system.

It would take away, benefits from the most defenseless sector of our society. Most of the reci pients of the mini"""! benefit, according to Rep. Jim Wright of Texas, "are in their seventies and most of them are women." Democrats have taken the lead, both in the House and in the Senate, in criticizing the President and oppos ing the effort to drastically cut Social Security benefits billion even though the Social security iuna anticipates , ty quarters in empioymcui waw VJ "'"i- "-" ; " at, . nnt the onlv ones temporary shortages of only $10 billion in the.next five This meat !&SS222 years. Moreover, these shortages can be met with a loan of reserve funds from other components in the Social Security system.

The President proposes paying only the amount individuals have paid into the fund, which on surface might appear to be a fair solution. Yet the' President'! proposal callously disregards the impact of such a cutback on flesh and blood human be ings. .The elimination of the minimum pension would who have expressed concern about the Administration's approach to Social Security. Rep. Robert Michel, the House Republican leader, has admitted that the Ad ministration has been "insensitive" in hs handling of the issue. And many Republican political analysts are admitting lharthe strong showings of Democrats in two recent special elections to fill vacancies in the House of Representatives are in large measure attributable to public dissatisfaction over the Reagan approach to Social Security. Moreover, public discontent over the Reagan ap proach to government has finally begun to be reflected in public opinion polls. The latest Harris survey in dicates that by 61 to 33 per cent, a majority of Americans believes that the President's economic policies "will be unfair and cause hardship on the elder ly and those on pensions." By 57 to 34 per cent, Americans also believe that the President's policies will "be unfair to the poor." when historians look upon the Reagan Presidency they may well ascribe May 12th, 1981 as the beginning of its downfall. It is on this day that the Reagan Ad ministration unveiled its plan to gut the Social Security system, thus violating one of Ronald Reagan's own campaign promises. It is on May 12th that the american people, young and old, black and white, at last began to sense that rigid conservative doctrine, when applied to flesh and blood human beings, can mean great suffering and anguish to our country's elderly and poor. Historians may well conclude that, ironically, it was ronald Reagan's insensitivity to his fellow senior citizens which signalled the beginning of the end of what was to have been the "Reagan Era! Coping ) Racism: The White Response Part VI By Dr. Charles W; Faulkner WWCAWMJM Blacks seem to be prevailed upon by whites primarily when they do not "stay in, their place." When blacks demand respect or equal non-discriminatory treatment, whites feel threatened. This threatening form of behavior has fwo meanings to whites:; 1) It is as if a black person is saying, "I don't have to do what you want me to do because I am as good as you." The white person experiences a challenge to his status, and self-esteem, and 2) the white person loses a basis for releasing his stress and recapturing his "manhood" after having had a depressing, unpleasant confrontation with someone else. Blacks are scapegoats. ' ;.V Often, these behavioral reactions of whites are subconscious and conducted without the knowledge that they are occurring. In other words, when a black ques- ,. tions the command of a white, an immediate feeling of stress and anger occur in a compulsive manner. The white person might call, or feel like calling, a black person y "nigger" without realizing the cause of the urge or the fact that the urge is present. It is a compulsive'conditioned, automatic reaction to feeding threatened, challenged and . "insulted." ' fr.?"P"&yi .'f.' This response is similar to the feclirig that an autocratic parent has when the child 4 refuses to carry out an order. It is similar to the response that an insecure boss, has , when an employee talks back. It is similar to the feeling that you have when someone "pushes you around" intentionally and without provocation. You might become im mediately angered and strike out physically or verbally at the cause of your stress, which occurs suddenly and without forewarning. Human beings are conditioned early in their lives to respond to certain situations, with anger or happiness. The reaction allows us to release the stress that has been caused by the experiences that we have. Often, the object of our release of stress is unrelated logically to the cause of the stress. An example: If Jim's boss threatens Jim with firing from his job, Jim is likely to become anxious, depressed and stressful. He must release his stress and direct it 40 a black person. Why must the black person, serve such a purpose? . .' r . The answer is that Jim was conditioned early in his life to direct his frustrations to' blacks. His response is conditioned, automatic and representative of the need for an' emotional crutch that allows him to say "Well, although the boss is better than I, am better than blacks. At least that is some consolation." Your questions are welcomed. Suggestions for future articles will be appreciated.
