Racism, centerpiece

; own government is making you poorer. ? ? ?
; For a while, Saddam Hussein's megalomania diverted attention away
?; from an economy that can't any longer hide the fact that the United States
is in the advanced stages of becoming a second-rate country that supplies
; the rest of the world with low-skilled, low-paid workers.
For example, the U.S. exports scrap iron to Japan and imports finished
manufactured goods: the definition of a fourth ? rate, unindustrialized,
poor nation.
Instead of trying to explain that fact and why neither Congress nor the
White House have any plans to stop the decline in America's standard of
living, politicians have created a diversionary bogeyman ? a civil rights
; bill.
This 1991 version will have as much impact on changing the condi
tion of black people as the last one. In fact, no legislations can upgrade
; black life in Amcrica.
But black politicians look good to blacks, defending them from whites
4 who would "take back the great gains of the 60s." Conversely, white
politicians love playing defender of "white rights" against "reverse dis
crimination" and the new nigger-word "quotas."
Black leadership is particularly pathetic in seeing its own role in feed
ing this diversionary frenzy. The black-liberal "progressives" have no
grasp on the reality of the economic realities and how they drive the dema
goguery of racism. In their ignorance, they stroke its fires.
The black leaders only know affirmative action (not affirmative
opportunity); civil rights (not economic rights); and the new anathema
"quotas" (not excellence, competition or being number one). No wonder
young blacks are not motivated to compete with whites.
You may not agree with any of what I say, but you can't deny the fact
that black leadership adds to the perception that blacks refuse to compete,
even when given a chance.
Read Newsweek and The Atlantic, they'll tell you about your precious
Democratic parly and liberal leadership ? master manipulators. And
they'll tell you about the demagogues, masquerading as Republican and
Democratic defenders of American values. ' *
Keep the faith
Continued from page A4
train and destroy the very fabric of
the African-American community,
African-Americans must keep the
faith. The growing poverty, unem
ployment, homelessness and epi
demic of drugs, AIDS, violence and
fratricide is but the latest chapter in
America's genocidal attack on
Africans in this country. We must
not waver in our faith in the righ
teousness of our struggle or in our
commitment to triumph over the
evils of racism and militarism.
We must keep the faith because
we who built the pyramids and gave
the world its first glimpse of astron
omy, medicine, science and mathe
matics can and will continue our
reemergence as a great people. We
must keep the faith because we who
offered up the first people on this
planet and provided humanity with
its first taste of civilization can res
cue ourselves from a dccadcnt and
dying nation. We must keep the
faith because we who survived the
travail of slavery, the greatest holo
caust in human history and the
adversities of segregation, can and
will liberate ourselves and in the
humane society. At all cost, and no
matter how severe the crises and
adversities which confront us, we as
Africans in America must keep the
faith.

the Sheraton North in May that
year.
Knight's name is brought up
several times in the inquiry and the
university's response. However the
names of athletes that may have
been involved have been deleted.
The university was able to answer
some but not all of the NCAA's
questions concerning Knight and
some of the arrangements he made
on behalf of university athletes.
Racial mix

affect all Americans.
When a fourth of the popula
tion is subjected to discrimina
tion, prejudice and disadvantage,
the entire society is put at risk.
In many of our major cities,
racial minorities are actually in
the majority.
And population projections
indicate that major states such as
California will no longer have a
racial "majority" within a couple
of decades ? everyone will be
part of a racial or ethnic minority,
whether white, black, brown, or
the other colors of humankind.
As we move to an America in
which everybody is a "minority," I
we ne^d to put race relations back
on the national agenda.
We're going to have to work
harder to bridge the gaps between
the temporary white majority and
America's minorities, and for
minorities to realize that sinr*:
they're in the same boat, inter-'
group cooperation js essential.
"It is a challenge to ascertain
Mr. Knight's motivation or who
instructed him to make arrange
ments for Messrs . . . and ... to get
the apartment andvreceive rental
furniture," the response reads. It
also indicates Knight resigned from
the university in September
29,1989. That was less than a
month after the NCAA initiated the
inquiry. >
Emken and other members of
the university's board of trustees
have expressed their support for the
chancellor and are waiting for the
auditor's final draft.
The president of the UNC sys
tem, C.D. Spangler, characterized
the allegations as "serious" and if
not satisfactorily answered, a cause
for a lot of concern for the UNC
Board of Governors and the
university's trustees.
Neither the NCAA nor the
state auditor's office have given any
indication when the results of their
probes will be made public.
