"The type of guy I prefer is someone who has a profession or owns his own business," she said in her dressing room backstage at the Royale Theatre on West 45th Street.

Well, you can't be independent when your survival is depetKient-upon a welfare chec k. A recent letter from Milwaukee stated: "The things that hurt most is when you say things about young Black mothers, and young Black men who do not want to work and are on welfare. It wasn t right to slave people. Blacks made this country rich and after 200years can't feel completely free.This wealth belongs to Blacks. "It's good and bad in every nationality. What makes Lhe difference is when someone like you speaks of these things over the radio. .Mr Black. tgrod is-gefng l<rbring Black people_ out of this mess." I talk to Black people about Black problems because I am Black and the “give me" theory is leading Blacks into an economic depression. Also, the Book of Matthew says: “There is nothing covered up that will not be uncovered: nothing hidden that will not be made known. What I say to you in the dark.you must repeat in broad daylight.What you hear whispered you must shout from the housetops." I feel that it is my obligation to challenge us into using the minds and hxxlies that God gave us for thinking and working. I realize that there are times when we all need a helping hand. That is the purpose of welfare: temporary assistance, not a lifetime of support for people who lack the work ethic. Wcllare and Idleness are taking us backwards. Heretofore. Black family median Income has always been second in t hese United States, but now it reads like this: Asians S22.075: White Americans $20,840: Hispanics $14.711. and Black Americans $12,618. More working and less welfare will improve our family Incomes. Vice President • The Greyhound Corporation
