Racial Issue Economic
Not Moral McKissick
NORFOLK The former di
rector of the Congresa of Ra
cial Equality, Floyd B. Mc-
Kissick, told the audience at
the Tidewater Area Businesa
League banquet Dec. 3, at
the Lake Wright Motor Inn,
"If you think the black-white
issue in this country is a moral
issue, you are entirely wrong.
It is not. It is an economic
issue.
McKissick said he was go
ing to "really talk about
things as they are."
"People don't like to hear
what I am about to say at
banquets, they rather. hear
that we all love each other.
And that you're happy and
that thtey're ha p p y," the
speaker said.
"I'M GOING to talk about
black folks and I'm going to
talk about white folks. It's an
easy subject to talk about, but
it's not an easy subject to be
honest about," said McKis
sick.
McKissick, president of
Floyd B. McKissick Enter
prises, developer of Soul City,
said in order to understand
the plight of the Negro, white
people have to understand that
"all black people don't want
to be white that all black
people have come to realize
that being white ain't no vir
ture," he added.
"I FOE ONE don't want to
be white. Never tried to be
white and I don't believe
God ought to change white
folks to be black folks. We
have to accept the circum
stances as they are," he add
ed.
He said that Negro college
students need to major in
skill subjects rather than stick
ing to traditional subjects like

social work and teaching.
"WHAT THE hell can social
work do?" he asked. "It can't
make you fly no plane. It
can't teach you to split no
atom. It can't teach you what
the system is all about."
"Better tell your kids to get
some science, mathematics,
some business administration
to learn what this system is
all about," he asserted.
"IF YOU AREN'T partici
pating economically, then you
ain't in the system. Because
the system is a system of eco
nomics," he said, because,
"You ain't no capitalist with
out no capital."
On the subject of non-vio
lence McKissick fcaid, "It's a
false doctrine, and it's a rac
ist doctrine. They don't ask
white people to be non-violent
oward black people."

ROMANIA:
A HERITAGE OF FAITH
• : « , . • iig&i
MOLDOVITA Monastery in
Romania. A colorful, 20-foot
high frescoe on its South wall
depicts the Tree of Jesse which
traces Christ's ancestry.
Romania—though neighbor
to Slavic countries on three
sides—is Latin; its people de
scending from the Romans
who occupied this land almost
2,000 years ago. And, as an
outpost of Latin culture set in
the East, Romania's heritage
can best be discovered in its
magnificent "painted church
es."
Centuries old, these "painted
churches" were once the center
of the community, helping to
educate the people. Too small
to admit everyone, depictions
of biblical, historical and epic
happenings were painted in
fresco on their exterior walls—
from ground to roof—allowing
those outside the benefit of a
continuing religious and secular
education.
No one has actually been
•able to determine the exact
combination of materials,
colors and methods used by
the painters of these churches,
though the theory is that a
plaster base containing sand
and lime was applied to the
walls of the buildings, onto
which the paintings were done.
Their resilience to weather,
however, is astonishing and the
fine quality of the colors seems
everlasting.
Of the 14 extant churches
with exterior frecoes, five are
perhaps the most interesting
and best reflect the archi
tecture of the period: Humor
( 1535), Moldovita (1537),
Arbore (1541), Voronet
(1547) and Sucevita (1600).
All are easily accessible to the
tourist by car, or via special
tours arranged from Bucharest,
the Black Sea resorts or other
parts of the country.

Romania's unique "painted
cHurches" and the almost un
believeable beauty of its coun
tryside, drop a line to the

Secretary of Defense Melvin R.
Laird will visit Ft. Bragg
Wednesday to decorate the
servicemen who raided a North
Vietnamese prison camp.
A Ft. Bragg spokesman, MaJ.
James Wilson, said Laird is to
arrive about 10 a.m. for a cere
mony on the main post parade
ground.
The base in eastern North
Carolina is the home of the
Special Forces, whose Green
Beret troops formed most of
the force that penetrated into
the camp.
Wilson said both the Green
Beret troops and Air Force vol
unteers who participated in the
daring helicopter assault would
be honored by the secretary.
President Nixon already has
decorated several of the com
mandos, including two who
were sli#Jtly injured.
