Blacks dividi sion surrounding this dilemma was finally re-directed toward other blacks. And purely by coincidence, the scapegoat became Atlanta's Mayor An ? - drew Young. When Young took the podium to debate Jackson's controversial proposal for "complete elimination of the runoff primary," his legitimate objections were drowned ^put by Jackson delegates turned rabble, jeering and shouting, "Uncle Tom," "Shame on you" and "You forgot where you came from." ?-?But it -was obvieu*> that1 frfcxy?

IMIMMMailMMMIIMIIIIIIIIIIIItlllllltlllttllllllllllllllllll To boycott c ty. People are not aware of the issues," said the Rev. Wamie C. Hay, who told his congregation not to support?the boycott because some blacks could lose their jobs. NAACP officials agree that the boycott tugs black shoppers in two directions. "The threat to pullout of East Winston is a divisive issue. There is a broader issue involved of increasing employment opportunities for blacks," said Earl Shinhoster, director of the NAACP's regional office in Atlanta. The civil rights organization called for the boycott of the supermarket chain, which has 241 stores in five Southern states, including North Carolina, after the two parties failed to reach an agreement to increase the number of black employees to 15 percent by 1985. Pat Hairston, president of the local chapter of the NAACP, said 36 of 42 employees at the East Winston store are black, but 30 of them are parttime employees. Also, the organization requested that the company increase the amount of purchases from black vendors, and increase its advertising in black newspapers. Although she believes the boycott is important, Ella Robinson of Third Street thinks it could hurt the black community. "I think they will eventually hurt more blacks by the boycott. Many people depend on this store because the prices are cheap, and it is convenient," she said. "I hope they accomplish their goals but not at the expense of other blacks." Canty disagrees. "I am going to support the boycott. Freedom Said Ms. Robinson, "The organization can't take away our means without giving us another means to put food on our table." Hay said inadequate information about the issues behind the boycott was presented to the community. "People are not aware of what the issues are in the boycott," said Hay. "You don't cut off a person's bread and expect them to support your organization." Hay said he was on the comm itton in if (amnfarl iiiuiww iiivii auviupiwu iu i vvI un major food stores to locale in East Winston in the 1960s, but most food chains were afraid to move to the area after the riots. Food Lion was the only store, Hay said, to make a commitment to the area. "I know several cashiers who were on welfare before they got jobs at the store/' he said. 44It*s good to get more managers, but not at the expense of people on the bottom. They (the NAACP) are not looking from the bottom up." % i lUtllltlMIIKIMIitHMMMUIIIMIttlMIIIUIIttllllllMilltliMIIMM ed at con venti* IIMIIIIIUIIHIMIItllltMMIUIIKtlltllHIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIiUUtMMII Coretta King was brought near tears by boos from the arrogant mob at the parly's black caucus meeting. One Jackson delegate from Louisiana said that Young favored discrimination because he disagreed with Jackson.

Of course, Jackson couldn't say the same thing about himself. In return for maintaining black support for Mondale's candidacy, a huge sum for voter registration was placed under his control.

And black concerns as interpreted by Jackson, got no "respect." All of this simply proves that the Democratic Party is equally as racist as the Republican Party. Historically, the Democratic Party was the party that terrorized and lynched blacks to keep them away from the ballot box. This year's mass lynching of loyal black delegates demonstrates that the modern disenfranchisement is just njore Us MtflA in^g- ? Black Democrats can delude themselves that they've "already won" if they want to. Reality, however, has its own demands. And so does growing up. Elliott Laws wrote a letter to the Washington Post and asked: "I begin to wonder whether Mr. Jackson has mixed up his priorities: Is he there watching out for us or for himself?" pressed their support of his position, and were generally against the boycott of the supermarket. Nevertheless, Joe Watts said the boycott is necessary and some sacrifices have to be made ? including the loss of jobs. "In the 60s some people lost their lives in order for us to get wncrc we are toaay," said Watts. "Some sacrifices may have to be made, but that's the price you have to pay." * * 33% OFF Rugged jean bovs and air # $4 OFF Roebucks jeans f< All-cotton denim jeans with tl Western look are built to last look good.
