Consultation Examines Racism In Media
NEW YORK The equally direct. "The
struggle by people of col-, moneyed interests in this
or to be full participants country have gotten
in trie u.b. and in tne
world is now being wag
ed on a new front: who
'will control media and
what will be portrayed
about racial and ethnic
minority people.
That was the theme of
a "Third World Con
sultation on Kacism in
have
together to keep down
the aspirations of the
blacks, the white people
of good will, the poor
whites," said Eldridge
Spearman, press assis
tant . to Congressman
Walter Fauntroy and the
main speaker the morn
ing of July 14. ,4At-
the Media" here July iemP,s 10 aiminisn DtacK
14-15. Jointly sponsored political power are being
by the Department of
Racial Justice of the Na
tional Council of Chur
ches,, the Council on In
terracial - Books for
Children, the Young
Women's Christian
Association ah'd f !the"
Program to Combat
Racism of the World
Council of Churches, the
meeting drew about 75
people, most of them
black, Hispanic, or
Asian-American.
"The media are poten
tially one of the greatest
threats to the survival of
Third World people,
outside of the nuclear
arms race," declared Ke
nyon Burke, executive of
the NCCC's Division of
Church and Society, in
welcoming participants
to the meeting. He
deplored the stereotypic
portrayals of people of
color in the media but
said those presentations
were not the only pro
blem. "One waf you can
say something is unim
portant is to say nothing
about it at all."
Other speakers were
carried out by media not
telling about or
misrepresenting the ac
tions of black leaders."
He documented this
charge by describing the
reaction of variou
media to the 1982 budgtii
proposal put forward by
the Black Congressional
Caucus, which, although
it would have lowered
the deficit while pro
viding tax relief and a
fair level of public ser
vice, was largely ignored
by the media.
Speaking at lunch on
the same day was New
York television producer
Gil Noble, author of
Black is (he Color ofMv
TV Tube. "Perhaps," he
began, "we are guilty of
some naivete in presum
ing that media's reason
to exist is to be fair.
Media, throughout
history, were developed
to corroborate the power
of those in power." That
reason has not changed,,
he said.
"The U.S. is using all
kinds of false images to
disorient Third World

people," Noble said, "to
turn us ... against each 4
other. It is happening in
our own communities. ,
The need to rise up and
struggle against our op
pressors has been put to
sleep, and one of the ma
jor devices for doing this
has been' the onslaught
of news and entertain
ment." He was especially
critical of the effects of
the media, particularly
television, on young peo
ple. "The media have
put out images that have
rendered our young peo-.
pie unable to respect
themselves, their parents
and communities or to
organize to do battle
against the forges " that
enslave us." '
Not only are American
youth of color being
poisoned, he said, "The
same kind of poisoning
effect that is happening
to American young peo
ple is happening now on
the global scene," he
said. "The media are
giving the world popula
tion false images about
Third World people in
the U.S."
"We need to reject the
values being put out
among us. We must
resist the narcotic of
fame, success,
applause," he said. He
called upon his listeners
to mobilize the "tremen
dous economic resources
that lie at our feet" to
pressure those responsi
ble for these false images
to change their ways.
"We must not aban

nass media," he said,
"Because they have too
much influence. But we
should also be doing

race the human race
is in serious trouble."
Speaking the next
morning, Ms. Valerie
Bradley, a media consul
tant and former press
secretary to United Na
tions Ambassador An
drew Young, picked up
on Noble's global theme
"Our role is for; black
Americans to help white

their junior and senior
years of study. The grant
also provides con
sultants, supplies and
equipment to support the
research projects.
The explosive reaction
was about as volatile as it
was predictable. The
cops said no way. The
Durham County Com
missioners backed the
sheriff. The policy went
into effect.
- At about the same
time, Leary, who has
been with the ABC office
for' more than 20 years,
set his sights on Allen's
job. Jess Bowe, director
of the NCCU criminal
justice program was also
in the fray, and between
them, they hurled
slashing criticisms at
Allen and the way he has
operated the department
for the past four years.
But going into the
June 26 Democratic
primary, Allen appeared
to be in pretty good
shape. His chief black
campaign aide, Mort
Levy, had come to the
powerful Durham Com
mittee on the Affairs of
Black People and ex
plained that Allen's cam
paign was helping several
black candidates in what
Levy termed "some of
the county's redneck
precincts".
Summing up his ap
peal for the Committee's
endorsement, Levy said:
"We have the redneck
vote. We don't have to
worry about that. But
now we. need your help
to see that we give Bill
Allen a clear victory."
Allen got the Commit
tee's endorsement, and
the overwhelming ma
jority of the black vote.
And thdugh Allen beat
Leary by more than
4,000 votes in the June
29 primary, he didn't get
the majority he needed,
for victory.
; ' A study . of voter
returns indicates that
Leary made some of his
biggest inroads into
Allen's support in some
of those same precincts
that Levy characterized
as "redneck", and
described as "being in
Bill's hip pocket".
Sensing that Allen
could be beat. Leary
stepped up his campaign,
and though he denies any
involvement in the cur
rent controversies that
appear to have started
Allen's descent to the
canvas, the turmoil has
been helpful.
But Allen is not bow
ing out.
In a recent interview,
he responded to the con
trovcrsics.
In the case of the
deputy giving a jail
prisoner a gun, one well
placed source says that
'and made the arrest.
Allen, however, says
otherwise. - That
charge," said Allen, is
'totally untrue. My
deputies have been on
this since the beginning..
And the city detectives;
knew this. As a matter o(
fact my deputies had in
terrogated Woolbright
the night before he was
arrested and had
scheduled a polygraph
for July 23."
"Then,": ' Allen
related, "without my
knowledge, they came in
and arrested him. They
didn't even share this in
formation with the
district attorney, who
has to prosecute the
case."
On the new. gun
policy, Allen says:
"...locking up guns is
nothing new." "I've
been with this depart
ment 24 years, come
December, and we've
done it since I've been
here. The only thing
that's changed is where
the guns are locked up."
"The real reason for
this controversy," Allen
asserted, "is that, police
officers want to come in
and run things. But my
deputies aren't going to
allow that to happen.
They're going to go by
the policies of this
department."
Public Safety Director
Talmadge Lassiter was ,
out of town and could .
not comment on these ;
allegations.
On the quesiton of
how blacks fare in his
department, Allen says
that a black secretary
who worked there resign
ed to go to work for .
General Telephone quite
a while after he became
sheriff. Further, he says
that he hired a black
woman on July 19 to
work in the communica
tions room.
Allen also says he has
promoted three blacks to
detectives. They are: -
Clarence Gooch. H.L.
Hayes and W.E. Nunn.
Allen also says, in
reference to an allegation
that his deputies, only
enter black communities
to serve papers or answer
calls, that the sheriffs
department patrols the
entire county, not just
black, white or mixed
communities.
But the question now
is. arc Allen's answers
enough to stem the tide
of criticism, and give
him four more years on
l he job?
The answer comes
Tuesday night after the
votes are counted.
