Politics: Our Constit-
ution doe* not stipula-
te that politicians .
be of strong moral fil>
re, conscientious, or
honest, consequently
along with the posit-
ive-minded persons el-
ected or aspiring for
political offices, we
have some of the most
nefarious scoundrels
io our society being
supported by leaders
from all wakes of life.
Issues play little im-
portance due to the in-
flux of special favors
to be gained for pedd-
ling your vote! Fel*
cons serving jail time
have been elected to
pubbc office just a^
some holding same
should probably be in
jail! Voting abuses ft
an intergral part of our
political process.
EducationAnd Sport:
The pillars of our soci-
t) today are the same
arsons that slipped
[ash, permitted non-
}udents to participate
school athletic pro-
rains, manipulated gi>
les, and falsified
ranscripts in order for
Jkids to attend college,
t have no knowledge
fol students that recew
jfced academic scholar
Arip wr getting large
rash bonuses, fine
<ars, bank loans, or th-
fir parents getting inst-
ant good paying job*,
iftew homes, real estate,
etc. etc. Are'nt sports
wonderful? As blacks
y adults and stu-
nt athletes are quick
cry mit that they're
iu» exploited by the
liite schools but the
ie conditions exist-
at our black col-
;es although not as
> fringe benefits
vere/are included,
depending upon which
' urvey you read, the
lercent of atldetes
j, aduate from col»
. »ges overall is around
siy where from 27% to
i 9%. society demands
liat coaches win at
cost, therefore tli-
s of young adi*
s are thrown to the
t okes! After they use
'ip all of their athletic
ftiphdity.'
e And Re»
I dislike
farmers lose t-
Ufe savings, etc. but
issue at hand be-
mixed emotions.
For many years farm-
have been partially
lord by the
it due to is*,
st weather, over
o«i, etc., but
have also reaped
benefits in
of
whom have never serv-
ed a day of military
service! During the
hassle of the bill that
President Reagan veto-
ed, it stands to reason
that in 1986, Demo-
crats may reap benefits
because four Repub-
licans will be up for re-
election in the 14 farm
states and since these
states have 140 elec-
toral votes which have
■ historically gone to
the Republicans, 1988,
might give them to the
Democrats!
Black Economics:
Many blacks that own-
ed farms lost them be-
cause of mismanage-
ment in some cases,
but a large bulk lost
them due being swind-
led out of them, not
able to fighti being pri-
ced out of the market,
unable to obtain fed-
eral or bank loans, and
even intimadation was
also a major factor.
Likewise blacks in the
mibtary and civilian
life faced some of the
same problems along
with lack of promot-
ion, segregation and
discrimination created
numerous financial
hardships and the stip-
ulation by the military
to furnish financial
and other benefits we-
re all the black C.l.
had to look forward
to. We certainly are'nt
able to get jobs any
easier today and if
anything it's more diff-
icult to obtain work
regardless of how well
we'ie qualified!!}
To the baat *f my
knowledge, Blacks of
national nor local
vemnetfft or
enough that
who re-
fused to go into the
service w«e compelled
to go to £ul while the
whites that fled to
other countries receiv-
ed presidential par-
dons!
Religious Mysterys:
Although some chur-
ches refuse to ordain
women under the
premise that Jesus did-
n't, we fmd in Cdat-
ians 3:27-28, that Su
Paul states" all of you
who have been baptiz*-
ed into Christ have cl-
othed yourselves with
him. There does not
exist among you, Jew
or Greek,slave or free-
man, male or female.
All are one in Christ
Jesus". Even more
confusing is why the
Pope when visiting
Third World countries
last month where mill-
ions of children are st-
arving, told the people
that it was a sin to pra-
ctice birth control!
Those devout Christ-
ians among us who
confess a fear of
heights, darkness, lonl-
iness, etc. should che-
ck out 2 Timothy-1-7.
Grass Roots Tidbits:
14 March 1794, Eli
Whitney patented the
cotton gin based on
plans and ideas of a bl-
ack slave, March 15,
1810, David Ruggles

duced hydrotherapy in
his Northampton,
clinic was born in
Conn. March 18, 1947,
