Uncommon predictions Continued from page A1

5 nor Bill Clinton will not win unless
\he gives the homosexual men equal
# :itime at being the butt of his jokes.
n Now, as far as general party
;ipolitics, the republicans will contji)
?ue to gain black votes until the
^democrats decide that they've given
;1 them enougn.
And the democrats will conjyi
jue to lose black voters until the
^republicans think they too, have
?their quota. As far as David Duke is
?concerned, he will not win another
^election until he learns ho^ to
-dance, listen to and appreciate rap
?music, and finally, learn how to
/dunk a basketball.
And speaking of politicians,
?they will tell even more, lies in
'1992. And we will believe them
*more than we did in 1991, This
i
?will be especially amazing since
jmost of the recent lies such as
{"read 'my 'lijfe* ahd'Wtttie H6rton
?are suil quUe fresh oil most of our
[minds. But we will vote for them
?anyway. c
The economy will continue to
get worse unless something is done
about it, and soon. Just about the
same nurhber of people will be
unemployed as there were last year,
except lhaji the new ones Will wear
different color shirt collars. The
price of gas will continue to fluctu
ate all year long until summer,
when the cost will rise and tmally
come down after Labor Day. The
wave of mergers will continue until
somebody figures out that it costs
the stockholders more money
instead of making them money.
On international trade, the
Japanese will not open their mar
kets any more than they already
have. Meanwhile, Americans'will
continue to buy foreign cars
because, afcerall, the people who
sell them and, in some cases make
them, are also Americans.
Not a single case will be litigat
ed as a result of^assags oT the new
civil rights law. Sinc^'aH would-be,
plaintiffs and defendants don't have
a?hie as to what the law means,
s^md since Congress doesn't know
either, look for 1992 to be the year
when the NAACP decides thai^fey
have got far too many lawyers, and
Congress does too. In other civil
actions, the Supreme Court will
finally overturn any past ruling
which made the gulf between reli
gion and the state too- wide. Look
for the baby Jesus, the three wise
men, shepherds, and the manger to"
return next fall.
Also returning, prayer in the
schools, along with high school
bands being allowed to play reli
gious music, if they wish.
The assault against drugs in
this country is finally going to tunv~
ugly now that the^white folks have
started to realize that they "is the
ones doing mo drugs" than all the
rest of the colored peoples com
bined!
Police brutality will reach new
heights as cops start to whip promi
, nent white folks in the same way
they used to whip the minorities.
It'll start when Darryl Gates, chief
of the, Los Angeles Police Depart
ment, beats the hell out of Charles
Keating when he discovers that it ,
was his grandmother and father
whom Keating robbed of their nest
egg and pension. Thbre will be
reports of several sutfn beatings/
throughout the state of Texas and
the desert southwest.
This will be the year that some
body in this country will have the
courage to insist that the entire ele
' mentary curriculum be restricted to
include only three subjects: reading,
writing, and arithmetic.
As far, as black folks are con
cerned, this will be the year that we
will finally, figure out that the real
.^enemy of our people is ignorance of
wftp we are and what power we
. have ? not what somebody is.
keeping us from doing!
- And finally, the Cowboys will
defeat the Lions, the Falcons will
beat the Redskins, and the Cowboys
will beat the Falcons, then go on to
beat the Bills 34 to 17 in the Super
Bowl. You can bet on ft!

Kwanzaa celeb

Te member in 1981," Tim Jackson
reflected, "I had made plans for
.December when my supervisor,
Mrs. Sylvia Sprinkle-Hamlin asked
me if I was going to introduce the
^children to Kwanzaa. I told her I
-had never heard of Kwanzaa," Jack
son answered. "She explained it to
me, and I was so impressed and
Enlightened about a holiday that
was about African-American peo

the celebration."
This year's celebration includ

ia retired school teacher; Joe and
'Gail Anderson of the Healing
Force; a raggae band; and the tradi

Each year, support for the
event has grown steadily. "I'm very
;pleased to see that," Jackson said.
I"We may have to move it to a larger

Chaun Barr also performed for the crowd at the 12th annual Kwan

tions for, some things we're going
to need the help of the Chamber,
Winston-Salem Business, Inc., the
city and others to make happen."
Those groups and others are
named in Common Visictti to sup
port the East Area Council in pro
moting minority businesses. One
of the chamber's nine primary
goals for 1992 is to develop
minority businesses and support
the EAC in meeting the goals of
Common Vision.
Common Vision requires the
establishment of a minority/major
ity roundtablc to foster closer,
more supportive relationships
between black and white business
es.
Gayle Anderson, the cham
ber's executive vice president, says
they will help the EAC continue to
develop linkages with the white
majority, "and if thcfrc are specific
industries or people they want on
the roundtable, we'll use our influ
ence."
Anderson says the Chamber
hopes to help the EAC identify
critical needs, and sponsor more
business-to-business opportunities.
"We need more bridge-build
ing for minority and majority busi
nesses," says Anderson, "lun
cheons, receptions, and other more
social kinds of opportunities to
create personal relationships."
Spain hopes that business
leaders have an increasing aware
ness of the importance of not tol
erating slums, not letting one part
of town deteriorate.
"You cannot build a Viable
city with only three parts of the
, c i ty thriving, '^he insists. "Our
challenge is to create opportunities
for people to invest their money in
East Winston."
