Today, over 300,000 black young men are in prison. Black males suffer over two million arrests every year in , , the U.S. How do we begin to combat the destruction of young black males -- and, in turn, the obliteration of our communities? " Conference participant Dr. W. Monty Whitney, associate director of the Cincinnati Seven Hills Neighborhood Houses, suggested that the basic "factors which inhibit healthy relationships are racism, sexism and capitalism." Short-term strategies to address these problems included greater "racial awareness," changing "male-female socialization patterns," and improving } "communication and accountability" between black men and women. Dr. Na'im Akbar, a Florida State professor of psychology, urged blacks to combat the institutions ,and ideologies which "work against both our individual ., and collective survival."

The points worthy of note in this presentation are (l)there is the potential of registering millions of new voters and involving them in the political process for the first time; (2)the political awareness of young blacks can potentially be raised to a higher level; (3)the black church now has the opportunity to be an integral part of the reshaping of political consciousness; (4)freedom, justice and equality can again be placed on the front burner of the American conscience; (5)let us keep criticism of the Jackson candidacy poAive; and (6)Jackson has the abili ty to pull together the diverse segments of our society.

When 1 walk around these streets and hear brothers calling brothers "niggers," it makes me see a lack of intelligence in the black society. 1 looked in a dictionary and the definition it gave for the word "nigger" was an unfriendly way to mean Negro. We all know that a "nigv ger" is an ignorant person. Black people need to wake up and shjft into the fast lane and get out of that slow lane. They need to practice t he meaning, of brotherhood.

Too many doubting Thomases in the black community will only serve to retard the potential to the black electorate and throw cold water on the unrealized aspirations of thousands of young, poor and previously uninvolved blacks. Why one would elect to follow the course of retardation remains to be seen. What can be seen is that Jackson's campaign; which has, according to some polls, brought him to the noint of tying with Sen. John Glenn for second place in the race, makes him a serious contender for having a major impact on the 1984 presidential campaign.

Reputations are made by searching for things that normally can't be done and doing them. If we can get more black people to stick together, I believe it would be a great accomplishment.
