Why are we bailing Poland and <strong>the</strong> Soviet Union out of <strong>the</strong>ir economic<br />
difficulties, feeding <strong>the</strong>m massive transfusions of hard currency <strong>to</strong> buy<br />
bread for <strong>the</strong>ir restive masses and teclmology <strong>to</strong> boost <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
obsolescent centralized economies? Why are Western banks<br />
relieving <strong>the</strong> USSR of <strong>the</strong> expensive burden of propping up <strong>the</strong> Polish<br />
economy and regime'?<br />
<strong>The</strong> answer lies in a terse banker's paradox: Make a small loan and<br />
you have created a deb<strong>to</strong>r; make a large loan and you have created a<br />
parmer .<br />
... <strong>The</strong>$1 billion which Westernbankshavefunneled <strong>to</strong> Poland during<br />
<strong>the</strong> current crisis is a startling political intervention on behalf of that<br />
country's communist regime ...<br />
<strong>The</strong> critical question for Black people is "who is <strong>the</strong> real enemy7"<br />
While massive numbers of Black males are unemployed and increasing<br />
numbers are being shot down in <strong>the</strong> streets in a presumably capitalist<br />
country, that same capitalist country is helping white communist countries<br />
and <strong>the</strong>ir workers retum <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir jobs and have sufficient meats and o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
foods on <strong>the</strong>ir tables. Basically, <strong>the</strong> U.S. is supporting <strong>the</strong> whole white,<br />
so-called communist block. This does not include <strong>the</strong> Chinese-speaking<br />
non-white peoples.<br />
What is starklY illustrated here is that "capitalism" and "communism"<br />
are not two enemies. but simply <strong>the</strong> two extreme ends of <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal spectrum<br />
of economic practices under <strong>the</strong> system of white supremacy, wherein it is<br />
of priority that all whites (males in particular) have jobs whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y are<br />
at <strong>the</strong> right or left economic ends of <strong>the</strong> white supremacy spectrum. <strong>The</strong><br />
same would be true of <strong>the</strong> Democratic party/Republican party political.<br />
spectrum, which in this area of <strong>the</strong> world is <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal political spectrum of.<br />
politics under white supremacy.<br />
Also, it must be noted that while Black males are being shot down ii.<br />
increasing numbers and experiencing high unemployment, white<br />
communists, in mass numbers, are being admitted <strong>to</strong> find <strong>the</strong>ir plac~"•J"<br />
and housing in this capitalist country and are referred <strong>to</strong> as "political<br />
refugees." Black Haitians, however, are not admitted and treated<br />
ly.<br />

Justifiable Homicide<br />
In <strong>the</strong> global white supremacy system, all persons classified as nonwhite<br />
are outside <strong>the</strong> white power spectrum and are, in effect, <strong>the</strong> real<br />
enemy. Thus, <strong>the</strong>y are manipulated and/or eliminated at <strong>the</strong> will of that<br />
power system. In <strong>the</strong> context of global white supremacy, <strong>the</strong> only permanent<br />
enemies are those persons capable of white genetic annihilation,<br />
meaning Black and all o<strong>the</strong>r non-white peoples (most specifically males).<br />
In <strong>the</strong> most narrow perspective, justiftable homicide refers <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> overt<br />
shooting murder of a Black male or Black males by white uniformed<br />
male(s). In a broader perspective, "justifiable homicide" also can refer <strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> numerous more subtle tactics of Black male control and destruction.<br />
To deny Black males jobs and genuine upward mobility is <strong>to</strong> deny <strong>the</strong>m<br />
<strong>the</strong> functional roles of husband and fa<strong>the</strong>r. To deny Black family units<br />
functional husbands and fa<strong>the</strong>rs on a mass level is <strong>to</strong> deny <strong>the</strong>se families<br />
stability and <strong>to</strong> deny male children models for adult male functioning.<br />
Deprivation of male models for male functioning means permanent Black<br />
male social disfunctioning, affecting all areas of people activity for<br />
multiple generations.<br />
<strong>The</strong> massive increase of Black male bisexuality and homosexuality <strong>to</strong><br />
epidemic proportions can be correlated directly <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> debased functioning<br />
of adult Black males in Black family units by <strong>the</strong> racist system. <strong>The</strong> large<br />
of Black males engaging in drug use and abuse, including alcohol,<br />
is tied directly <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> severely crippled Black family structure, brought<br />
through systematically denying Btack males functional roles as<br />
and fa<strong>the</strong>rs. <strong>The</strong> massive numbers of Black males trapped in<br />
· juvenile justice system and <strong>the</strong> penal system also are related directly<br />
absence of truly functional fa<strong>the</strong>rs and husbands in <strong>the</strong> homes from<br />
<strong>the</strong>se victimized males have come. Current statistics (1980) indi-<br />
.that among Blacks, <strong>the</strong> proportion of one-parent families is a stag-<br />
49% (1.8 million families). This is 83% higher than a decade ago.<br />
rates among one-parent units are enormously higher than among<br />
units.<br />
television media also play a major role in reinforcing <strong>the</strong> debase<strong>the</strong><br />
Black male. Bill Cosby is debased by always being depicted<br />
at <strong>the</strong> level of infants. Muhammed Ali is debased by always<br />
