Sam Pierce, Joe Black,
Thomas Sowell, Johnny
Ford, David Stockman,
Janet Cooke and George
Wallace all have in com
mon? They will be the
first recipients of the an
nual Oreo Awards an
nounced in the January
issue of Sepia Magazine
currently on sale at
newsstands.
"The term Oreo,
popularized durings the
race conscious era of the
- sixties was thought to be
all but obsolete. Those
blacks and whites who
' could be labeled as Oreos
were thought to be as ex
tinct as Amos n' Andy,
Jim Crow and sit-ins,
blackface and white lips.
We were wrong," says a
$epta ,:.m&mbemk
spokesman. '"'"
The 1982 Oreo? Award
winners are as follows:
Samuel R. Pierce, Jr.,
Secretary of Housing
and Urban Development
and the only black in
Reagan's cabinet. Pierce
has advocated adding a
bailout provision to the j
Voting Rights Acts of '
1965, making it easier
for states to dodge
, strong enforcement of
the law. The Secretary
receives the Oreo ' for
forgetting the great debt
owed to black people
who sacrificed their lives
to get the Voting Rights
Act passed and to get
him his reserved token
black seat on the Reagan
cabinet.
Thomas . Sowell,
economist. Sowell is con
sidered one of the
outspoken leaders of
black conservatism. He
is a staunch advocate of
Reaganomics the

The Justice Depart
ment has also asked that
several rulings in $cho$
busing cases be reversal

- In the Labor Depart
ment, a rule has been
withdrawn, that would'

receives the Oreo for his
constant support of
Reagan's spending cuts
which will devastate the
poor and needy.
Joe Black; vice presi
dent, Greyhound Cor
poration. Black, through
his "By the Way..." col
umn that appears in local
and national black
publications, said
"despite the fact that we
have more college
educated blacks than
ever before, we also have
higher unemployment.
Racism is not, 1 repeat
is ' not the primary
reason." Sepia totally re
jects Black's notion. In
stitutionalized racism is
very flagrant, real and ,
still found in today's job
market in America's
educational institutions.
Black receives the Oreo
simply because he should
know better.
Janet Cooke, former
Washington Post
reporter ?5t receives the
OrtP...fQj;isMUting7 a
fictitious story that; wbn
a Pulitzer Prize the Post
had to return. In addi
tion to ruining her career
in hard news with her
fraudulent act, Cooke's
act also produced im
measurable . damageTbr
other blacks aspiring to
gain careers in the
media. Cooke held an
advantageous and en
viable position, but she
blew it.
Johnny Ford, black
mayor of Tuskegee,
Alabama. Mayor Ford is '
being recognized for ac
tively urging former
Alabama governor,
George Wallace, to run
for that state's highest
office for an un
precedented fourth time.-,
This is the same George
Wallace who supported
segregation of schools in
Alabama and has active
ly pursued racist causes, i
George Wallace, ,
former governor, of
Alabama. v He's the I
unanimous choice for)
the Inverted Oreo
Award. Wallace,
without saying too much
more, is an avowed I
bigot. Wallace is now
willing to touch a few ,
black hands to get just
enough black votes to
put him back in control
of state government in
Alabama. Hopefully,
more astute black leaders
in Alabama than Johnny
Ford will come forward
and see through this
sham.
Special recognition
goes to David Stockman,
director of the Office of
Management and Budget i
(OMB). He receives The
Oreo Whistle Blower-of-the-Year
Award.
In a recent interview
published in the Atlantic
Monthly, he said that
base figures used to
derive the administra
tion's budget cuts in
I social programs were
' thrown together and not
well researched.
The OMB
also stated that the ad
ministration's economic
plan would not create the
massive number of jobs
nor the tremendous in
crease in investments by
businesses that - were
boldly predicted . Taking
into account the Atlantic
Monthly interview,
although unintended,
Stockman did the poor
people of this country a
great big favor and
' deserves the recognition.
