Continued From Page I make that group take stock and begin to give and take care of our own.” Kev Thomas Walker, pastor of Ebenezer Bap tist Church Kocky Mount. ■ Reaganomics is both a cure and curse. It is a cure in the sense that it's cutting underneath us any number of artificial support sys tems that we have learned to lean on rather than de veloping our own means of survival. Not that 1 oppose government programs, but by and large the creativity that was in the black com munity had never reached a peak I might sound like a white racist, but we were beginning to depend upon handouts. It's a curse be cause since we're the only ethnic group that has ever Deen enslaved on American soil we have to depend upon the resources of govern ment. There is a move by Keaganomics to cut any string that we might be able to hold." Gordon Oilahunt is an organizer for the Raleigh Black United Front and is a postal employee. "Reaganomics is a curse on black Americans with out a doubt. One of the basic consequences is that the emphasis has been placed on the private sec tor for providing employ ment. The private sector does not take up its re sponsibility as it relates to the Afro-American people and other oppressed minor ities In the private sector we find ourselves the last hired, the first fired. We labor in the hardest work ing categories, lowest wages and other forms of discrimination are there. So there is no reason to think that is going to im prove if it is left up to the private sector. We live in an economic system that has structural unemploy ment built into it.

I think Reaganomics w ill probably be one of the best organizing tools that we've seen w ithin the black community and in the South in a long time A lot of folk who thought that they were in comfortable positions within the black community are going to De the folk who are really going to suffer most be cause they have forgotten their survival skills that we had within the black community For the poor and low income, I don't see anything new because they didn't have anything. What the others were getting were a few crumbs govern ment had left over after they had fed big business and had built up dollars in the defense budget. So the Reagan Administration is only talking louder. They have stolen what we gained from the Civil Rights Movement. We have got to have the guts to take it back." T. J. Jervay, the senior black newspaper publisher in North Carolina, and editor-publisher of the WII.MINCTON JOURN AL, North Carolina's oldest black weekly. "I studied business ad ministration in college. 1 haven’t read any econo mist who was partisan to ward Reagan On Wall Street at the Federal Re serve. everybody is alarmed over his economic program They don't see how it can work. I never heard of a balanced bud get. excessive spending and taxing the people who made the income possible, and then cutting taxes all at the same time. If he does it he'll pull off something that nobody else has ever done. So I don't think any thing of Reaganomics.'' Leonard uunston is pre sident of the North Caro lina Association of the Na tional Association of Black Social W orkers "It is certainly not a cure for any of the ills that are afflicting the black com munity. W hat I see it doing is for the first time in quite a while, it has the po tential of unifying the black community on a number of issues. Reaganomics is be ginning to instill a whole sense of self reliance eco nomic ventures, and the whole notion of caring for one's own people is an outgrowth. 1 think that is positive.'' Clarence Lightner, Ra leigh mortician and former Raleigh mayor. "Reaganomics is geared i toward helping those who have already maintained their statue It doesn't seem to me that it will be able to help the lower in come When you have pro grams cut out from under you that tend to help us to sustain ourselves it seems even more dramatic." W. J. Kennedy III, president of North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company and board mem ber of several multination al firms. ‘ ' Reaganomics is going to be mostly detrimental, but at the same time I think that a lesson is going to be learned by a lot of people They have to concern themselves in the elections Reagan's programs are all geared toward stimulating big business But on the other hand it’s going to take some time for any program that he's an nounced so far to really show any material change in the fortunes of big busi ness so that they would be able to hire more people and to really take off a load of public aid that the go vernment has been carrying."
