Y oung Bucks Negative
View Of Black Youth
Special To The Post
Mayor Andrew Young of Atlanta,
an outspoken foe of South African
-apartheid, said last week that the
sanctions against South Africa
which have gained support in the
U.S. Congress could signal the end of
Reagan’s constructive engage
ment.
“1 think the developments have
been extremely positive,” Young
said. “It’s one of those issues that I
think can bring people of goodwill
together When you figure that the
U.S. Senate has made a significant
vote, then you have to say that for
right now that’s a tremendous step.
“With the vote, you’ve completely
reversed the perception. The per
ception under Reagan and construc
tive engagement was that the
United States supported anything
that South Africa wanted to do. That
was the South Africans’ perception
of it therefore became the reality.
“Killings went up, arrests went up
and they began to act like the in
ternational gangsters that they
are.”
Young added that the recent le
gislative swing has made South
Africa realize that it has to change to
get acces$ to new business.
VeMg,” former tJ.S. 'ambassador
to the UJV., was in Detroit to ad
dress the graduating class of
Detroit’s Renaissance High School.
He told the students that their ac
tions and their opportunities do not
justify the pessimism with which
some approach their generation
Black students today, he pointed
out, have many more opportunities
and a brighter outlook than their
parents and grandparents —
especially if they recognize the
world as their job market.
“I think the opportunities are
really and truly unlimited,” said
Young, "particularly if you think of
Andrew Young
.Atlanta mayor
those opportunities as global op
portunities. I think people have got
to think about new frontiers be
yond thrf| United States' borders.
Even thie "graduates of a top high
school in Detroit are already in the
top ten percent of leadership on a
world scale.”
YQWJg, who has a daughter
teaching In' Ughndrf, said" ydang
Americans seem to be more aware
of the world as a community than
most people realize. He frequently
cited and quoted the “U S A. for
Africa” song "We Are The World”
as evidence. He said the song is an
anthem for the 80s
Young said that those who really
believe that “they are the world” -
and he suspects that most young
students do - they will be able to
fulfill the song’s vision.
And though he said President
Reagan has not abetted the op
portunities of black students, he said
that reality will not be able to slow
black achievement.
"The strength of the black com
munity and the strength of the
progress we have made. I think,
have made it impossible to take-any —
of those opportunities away,” Young
said. "Affirmative action started out
simply because it required federal
pressure. But now, people are be
ginning to realize it’s good busi
ness.”
Young said the erosion of the black
family is cause for concern, but ;
added that the single-parent status
of many households does not auto
matically mean that the family is
weak. He said many female-headed
families are strong and added that
even in two-parent homes the fe
male is often the most influential on
the children.
In his address to the students.
Young called Michael Jackson and
Lionel Richie (authors of “We Are
The World”) the young prophets
who lead a class of 1985 that will be
remembered as "the class that
discovered the world “
Young said young people’s de
monstrated concern for hunger in
Africa and the injustice of aj>ar
theid signals a feeling of family that
extends beyond the nueheSr one He '
urged the students to form lasting
individual friendships and develop a
maturity that will stress spiritual
and social values Some of them are
manifested in actions as simple as
“speaking to people,” he said,
“You will find that any business or
political or even academic success
will be related to the kind and the
amount of love that you can share
with others,” he stressed “The road
to the top is not just one step above
the other. There are ups and downs
And you need to have someone there
to be with you in the valleys - to help
pull you back up the ladder."
