Tang from page A 1 about it. Apparently this sort of politi cal strategy is finally starting to back fire. White folks are now hav ing to face the tact that they aren't used to doing the kind of analysis necessary to lead this country into the future. Indeed it is almost as if the grand wizard s curtain has finally been lifted from their eyes! This election, while still deeply mired in the kind of race baiting of days gone by, is a signal that white folks may be coming of age. They may be coming to a point where they themselves, and not just us Black folks, are now willing to think more deeply about social and fiscal policies. Indeed there may be hope after all. Most of us would generally agree that white folks can be smart people. However, when it comes to politicah issues, they like so many others, tend to be lazy about mak ing tougfnaecisions. They like to procrastinate. They prefer to deflect the responsibility for problems that they themselves have created ? entitlements ? to those least able to defend themselves from attack. The truth is that white folks are by far and away the largest recipient of welfare payments in this country. In fact they are by far the largest recipients of all govern ment ent i t le mentsV Indeed, if black were eliminated from the entitle ment program all together, this country would not even notice it. Of course white politicians would have you believe otherwise. The bright spot in this election is that white folks seem to be say ing to themselves, albeit quietly, "Hey. that is me you are talking about fellah." Yes this an interesting time in ?> southern political history. The struggle this country is experienc ing right now may be the great white awakening: White folks dis covering that it wasn't US afterall. That Blacks were not the cause of the decline of the economy and the flight of jobs overseas, or the decline of our manufacturing base ^ in this country. Blacks are not the reason we are losing whole indus tries overseas. Black folks are not responsible for the S & L crisis. No white folks, we didn't do that. I must say however, that I am not convinced that white poljtfi cians are ready for white fofl?s 10 do their own analysis. I will be convinced of that when I start to see political ads featuring real white folks going to the grocery store with their food stamps, buy ing beer, steaks, and cigarettes and then climbing in their trucks laugji ins loud, listening to Tanya Tucyjj^ on their way to see Dale Earnhait v * win another race. Just once I would like to sea a politician run a commercial use the image of white folks ? senior citi zens, collecting their checks in the mail and then running off to their country clubs to play golf and gin rummy with their friends. And no need to say that you, white folks, have always been against that kind of welfare/entitle ment abuse, cause you know you would be lying. Until now, you have never taken the time to find out that it was white folks who was feeding at the trough all the time. Only when I see those com mercials will we all know that white folks are ready to renounce their history of making a mess and then looking for scapegoats to blame it on. Only then will we know that white folks is ready to do their own voting. Ben Neill Mill employment Social Justice Individual Liberty BEN Neill Drmocra!
