RALEIGH, N.C.— A bill Sen.
Marshall Rauch says would
remove a tax inequity against
young people “earning a living
with one hand and pursuing an
education with the other” has
been introduced in the N.C.
Senate.
Rep. Marcus Short of
Greensboro introduced a
companion measure in the House
of Representatives.
Both seek to broaden an action
of the 1967 General Assembly,
which granted an extra exemption
of $600 for each dependent in
college.
Rauch and Short want the
same exemption extended to
young married couples engaged in
both earning a living and rounding
out the education of one or both
of the spouses.
A couple in their forties with
one child in college is eligible for
the extra $600.
“However,” Rauch says, “a
pair of 20-year-olds witli the
husband in college is not eligible
for the same extra $600.
“That just isn’t fair. We are
discriminating against those who
are earning a living with one hand
and pursuing an education with
the other. The least we can do is
to provide the same incentive we
give under the old law.”
Black people
need someplace
Last week's Black Image referred to Howard Fuller's speech that he
made as part of the Black Culture Series. The article that I wrote,
"Leave this White School", mentioned several things. It has come to my
attention that I failed to expound more fully on his reference to the
Back to Africa Movement iniated by Marcus Garvey. There is no doubt
that Fuller has copied many of Marcus Garvey's objectives in the
struggle for the liberation of Black people.
Howard Fuller did not mean that all the Black people in America
had to load up in boats and go back to Africa RIGHT NOW. Fuller
believes that it is possibible that there are Black people who are capable
and willing to go to Africa and develop this land for all Black people.
To Black people in America this means that if we could develop Africa
as a respected power, then we could claim a country that had a place in
our hearts. And believe me, this is very important. There can never be
freedom for a race in a country that does not symbolize a sense of pride
of one's heritage and hope for a better tomorrow.
However, this does not mean that Black people will never go back to
Africa. Since Black people have a big stake in this country, then we
refuse to let go that easily. Nevertheless, one must always consider the
underground tactics used by white people in this world. There are too
many underground organizations working such as SDS, the Weathermen
and Hippies, who preach love but when "push comes to shove", and the
Establishment starts kicking more behinds,'then that love will soon
dissolve very quickly. And guess whose behinds will get kicked the
hardest? You know it-Black people and Black people only. I suppose in
a way we are the scapegoat of the world. When we leave who will
America have to pick on? You are next on the list.
So Black people in this country do need some place to retreat to.
Who is it to say that it won't happen?
Howard Fuller knows that there will never be an end to the
prejudice and hatred against Black people in this country. To survive in
America we must continuously fight the enemy or surrender. But there
may be a place waiting for Blacks that may be better than Heaven.'
When the Anglo-Saxons decide to annihilate the Black race the Black
people's only hope is that Africa is ready to receive them and they are
ready to receive Africa.
Fiddlin’ away
those spring days!

The imperfection of the World
is a burden, if you know it, think
about it, at all. Look up in the sky
wishing you were free, placed so terribly
in time, mind out among new stars, working,
propositions, and not this planet where you
can't go anywhere without awareness of the
hurt the white man has put on the people.
Any people. You can't escape there is no
where to go. They have made this star
unsafe, and this age, primitive, though your
mind is somewhere else, your ass aint. ^
