Fort serves council
GREENSBORO (AP) ? The
chancellor of Noith Carolina A&T
University has been named the first
black to serve on NASA's Advisory
Council, the university announced
Monday.
Edward B. Fort, chancellor at
A&T for ten years, was appointed
to the board by Admiral Richard
Thily, administrator at the National
Aeronautics and Space Administra
tion.
"I view this as an honor and the
culmination of many years of posi
tive interface with NASA in con
junction with university /NASA
funded projects on our campus,"
Fort said.
"I view this as an opportunity
to provide the NASA administra
tion with input associated with the
future of space in this country."
The council advises NASA and
its administrator on policy, and is
made up of nationally known scien
tists, aerospace executives, and sev
eral university presidents, among
others.
'Tort's highly effective efforts
in strengthening the country's scien

Sickle cell disease is an inher
ited disease that strikes mostly
Blacks. Having the trait itself is"
not deadly, but when two with the
trait mate, there is a one in four
chance that their offspring could
have the disease and die. That is
why early testing for the trait is so
important.
"My decisions are not based
upon personal considerations but
on medical considerations," said
Mc Govern.
McGovern said the center's
dental clinic "will be decimated".
However, it appears one dentist
and one dental assistant position
may be kept. But that depends on
the final decision of the county
commissioners. He said the cuts
will reflect the make up in the
Health Center staff, in terms of
race, gender, and-position.
"Once we learned how many
positions had to be cut, we^asked
supervisors which positions were
the least critical for them carrying
out their functions and cause the
least disruption to a particular
unit. We asked which were the
most expendable positions,"
McGovern said.
McGovern said what his orga
nization is trying to do now in the
face of the present budget is pre
serve the most critical services
and keep them in tact
And one such area at the clin
ic is prenatal care, and gynecolog
ical services where no cuts have
been made. In fact, one additional
position will be added to the
obstetrics clinicTtarting In July
because of a grant through the
Kate B. Reynolds Poor and .Needy
Trust to hire a physician extender.
That is person who is a physician
assistant or a nurse practitioner.
Unfortunately there will more
stories like Mrs. Brown's, now
that the budget picture for both
the city and the county is begin
ning to crystallize. And the bot
tom line for Forsyth County tax
payers is that we will all end up
paying increased taxes for the
same or less services.
Positions are being cut in pro
grams and services in a wide
range of city and county agencies
the impact of which are likely to
be felt for some time according to
service providers.
The county's proposed tax
rate of $ .70 per $100 property
valuation, which could be decided
Monday, coupled with the city's
proposed budget of $ .62 (an
increase of two cents) per $ 100
would combine to make $ 1.32
per $100 of property value up
from the current $ 1.24 1/2.
Both the city and the county
budgets are supposed to be adopt
ed prior to July 1.
Look at life
Continued from page A4
tional system, which is based on a
"curriculum of exclusion" and omis
sion in the main, still leaves white
Americans ignorant of the traumatic
history of Africans in America.
White America does not understand
black America. In hard economic
times when whites and blacks are
forced to compete for scarce jobs and
other opportunities, this lack of
understanding can readily turn to
outright hostility.
For more than a decade, the U.S.
economy has been in a state of per
petual crisis. The troubled U.S. econ
omy has produced a fertile environ
ment to nurture the politics of race.
Ronald Reagan exploited this envi
ronment to capture the White House
in 1980. Reagan gave legitimacy to
the politics of race by viciously
attacking affirmative action and pro
moting such concepts as "black
racism" and "reverse discrimination."
Th& Reagan-Bush administration
began to use the office of the Attor
ney General and other agencies not
to promote and enforce civil rights
laws and statutes, but to protect
whites against civil rights enforce
ment. The Reagan-Bush administra
tion set the tone for the resurgence of
overt racism and racial antagonism.
And this has worked to the advan
tage of the Republican Party and
their wealthy allies.
The pro-rich policies of the Rea
gan-Bush administration produced
an unprecedented concentration of
wealth in the hands of a few at the
top of the economic pyramid. The
rich got much richer while the poor
got much poorer.
It was/is quite convenient for the
Republicans to use blacks and
minorities as scapegoats for econom
ic policies which resulted in gross
prosperity for a few and misery for
millions. The Republicans can be
expected to continue to fan the
flames of fear and reaction as a
means of retaining power and privi
lege. The "quota" issue plays well
with beleaguered whites with mis
placed racial antagonism.
Meanwhile, the Democratic*
Party seems impotent to cope with
the Republican advantage in terms of
the politics of race. While seeking to
retain the allegiance of blacks and
minorities by supporting civil rights
legislation, the Democrats have
failed to use their support for civil'
rights to educate the American pub
lic on the adverse impact of persis
tent racism on blacks minorities and
the entire nation. The Democrats fear
that being too forthright on civil
rights could alienate white voters
who could help the Democrats in
their bid for the White House in
1992^1
In any event, the politics of race
will influence the considerations of
both parties and poison the atmo
sphere in terms of black progress for
the foreseeable future. African
Americans must brace for some very
difficult times ahead. With white
"good will" evaporating in the face
of economic hard times and political
demagoguery, African- Americans
must be prepared to maximize black
political and economic resources to
effectively promote and protect black
interests and a progressive black
agenda as never before.

scandal, has issued 126 contracts to manage multi-mil
lion dollar portfolios, small apartment buildings, com
mercial and residential real estate, malls, shopping cen
ters, etc.
Of the 126 contracts to manage $126 billion in
assets, just two to alleged or almost black-owned com
panies and three to Hispanic-owned. The other is "part
ly owned by blacks," says The New York Times. One
doesn't have to be paranoid to suspect that the two
'J^artly" black firms should also be classified as white.
White men-owned concerns got 66.2% of the con
tracts and white women-owned firms received 28%.
For whites, that's a 94.2% white quota. This is esscn
tially a government bonanza of taxpayer's money being
siphoned off to rich white people.
Even the black rice got left out The black commu
nity is a total loser ? especially the black poor who get
left out even when the rich blacks are included.
When the black rich are finally included in RTCs
contract awards, will poor blacks receive any benefits?
No.
That's the kind of civil rights bill we need. We .ieed
a law with a quota for the quotas ? instead of a quota
for the white rich, which becomes a program for the
black rich when we protest its racist character and insist
that black firms be included. . * ?
