Indeed, in recognition of my fund-raising and clothes collection efforts on behalf of Haitian refugees, Father Gerard JeanJuste, director of the Miamibased Haitian Relief Effort, sent _ i r i me a iciici ui wununcauauun anu phoned me to express his gratitude.

I might note that most of the legislative efforts were geared toward curtailing U.S. government support for repressive regimes in Haiti, Zaire (under Mobutu Sese) and Grenada (under Eric Gairy). Now, let me hasteq to add here that, while Mr. Christison raises a legitimate point that injustice anywhere should be challenged by all who purport to stand for self-determination and freedom, one must make it crystal^lear that there are significant distinctions between South Africa and the 4'repressive" nations of Haiti, Ethiopia and Amin*s Uganda. First of all, South Africa is the only nation on earth that constitutionally sanctions racism and oppression. Further, these barbaric mandates are carried out by a minority-white regime against a majority-black populace with the blessings of the alleged "free, democratic, Christian" Western countries of the United States, England, France, Germany and even Israel. South Africa has been the subject of not less than 200 United Nations resolutions and actions castigating its racist, oppressive policies which will not just deny . . . =rom Page A5 MNNNMNMNNNMINNNNinNININMINIIHimUIIIUII The city has made it clear that it wants to invest a little more in the first project in its $2 million housing program.

No, sir, Mr. Christison, 1 make no apologies for my stance against apartheid. Yes, Amin was brufkl in Uganda; the Duvaliers were repressive in Haiti; Mobutu is corr dipt in Zaire. And the United States has black puppets in Grenada, v Yes, the political, economic and ecological conditior is in Ethiopia are atrocious. Yet, bear in mind, Mr. Christison, that4 your U.S. government has not helped Haiti, as it has South Afric a, in . developing nuclear techn ology. Nor have U.S.-based corporations invested billions of dollars in Ethiopia, as they have in South Africa.

To be sure, injustice is injustice, no matter the perpetrator. - But one cannot myopically observe current events, or narrowly interpret history. In other words, to paraphrase the great AfricanAmerican scholar/historian, John Henrick Clarke: "Wherever on this earth there is turmoil, confusion, chaos and repression, you can rest assured that, at some point in time, the ...v.:* i i J wiuic 11mii ntts ocen xnerc ana leu his dastardly mark."
