telling the truth because, on the
afternoon of Aug. 10, 1984,
when he first described for me the
events which he witnessed, he
identified a photo of Mrs. Sykes
as the woman whom he had seen
being assaulted," Daulton wrote.
"The identification was made
prior to the publication of any
photos of Mrs. Sykes by the
media."
Daulton wrote that the witness
also positively identified Hunt as
the person seen with Sykes.

Richards,*' best known for his
Wheaties cereal commercials, has
permitted the Populist Party to
mask its fascist, racist origins.
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.

"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? Two naked
women together in love scenes
and, says Newsweek, "engaged in
explicit acts of oral sex" is in- * '

Did not violate society's
ethics? 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. My approach to the
ethical question, in a six-page
story in Tony Brown's Journal
Magazine, which is much too
lengthy to reprint in this space, is
exactly the opposite.

know that Taylor is wrong, all
you need is a pair of eyes ~ even
one will do. 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

obvious. We are in an election

situation of black America.
Of course, the weather can improve
day after day, year after
year, and we ultimately have a
change in climate. As a result, life
* can be lived differently. But only
if economic improvements are
sustained for many years, and
shared fairly among all workers,
will we have a real change in the
