The real leaders of this party are a rogue's gallery of the far right. The party's major teader is Robert Weems, who in the late 1970s was Mississippi chaplain of the "Invisible Empire" Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. As late as Labor Day 1982, Weems spoke at a KKK "unity" rally at Stone Mountain, Ga. Other Populist leaders and public spokesmen have long histories in racist, neo-fascist and anti-Semitic organizations. From the Arkansas KKK. there is Ralph Forbes, now a "promoter" for the Populists. iisiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiii! Don't defend tells Vanessa that she has stumbled, "but you did not violate the society's ethics. This society's ethics violated you, You were ... lambasted for posing nude." Taylor's lovefest for the "violated" Williams then really turned convoluted: "Isn't it interesting, Vanessa, that in this country nudity is a disgrace and racism isn't?" Nudity?

She certainly wasn't selling memberships for the NAACP in Penthouse. The problem, Taylor seems to argue, is that it is not what the former Miss America did, but that society is wrong because it doesn't accept what she did.

Williams is right because racism is wrong? Added a female Washington Post writer: 4'And any woman, be she 19 or 39, shouyld have known better." To hail Williams as a victim of "society's ethics" or a black heroine of the struggle, or even to imply it as Taylor does, demeans every black woman living and past. It reduces the ethics of Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Sojourner Truth, Harriett Tubman and the long list of black freedom fighters to those of a tart. It tells every black woman -- be she 19 or 39 -- that her ethics de pend on her ability to get what she wants any way she can. Values, therefore, are a floating crap game ~ good if she wins, racist if she loses. Under these rules, she is never responsible for her behavior because of her gender or race. To show support for Williams as a black victim of racism ignores her lesbian love scenes, as well as her rejection of her role as a black woman and role model for black people. She saw the notion of being a black symbol as a handicap. Even questions on the issue "irritated" her, ar did a comparison with Jackie Robinson.
