I EDITORIALS COMMENTS OPINIONS I What's In A Party??? And Who Makes It?? fey Eddli P. Richardson For America to be America to some Americans, America must be Anwica to all. America will not truly be America to some until America is America to all. For America to function under the freedom statue thai it is designed to, it must have a two party system, effectively working two party system. Blacks were Republicans during Lincoln's time up to FDR's time. The Lincoln administration relucantly set the slaves free. The Roosevelt administration, after Hoover, set into motion the New Deal which brought forth the W.PA and CC Camps - where starving artists programs which painted murals in the federal buildings, etc. but one thing most people lost sight of was all of the Roosevelt programs were based on work not handouts! In fact Roosevelt yes, FDR, was an advowed racist. His wife, Elnora, was the ultra liberal. The programs Roosevelt set up was work programs. Programs to put America to work! Somewhere along the way, all of the programs which wereset up by the FDR administration as work programs became buried in bureaucracy and They became handout programs which robbed many Blacks of their dignity and drew them to the standard of aidand begging. If FDR could come back today and see what grew out of his put America back to work, he would die again! Blacks had Lincoln and Blacks had FDR. The issue now is Blacks must find for themselves. After Roosevelt Democrats had taken Blacks for granted and hip pocketed them. Paid white workers and called them staff. Worked the heck out of Blacks and called them volunteers. On the other hand, Republicans have traditionally ignored us (Blacks) and left us out. So now. it is up to us to make the two party system work, from top to bottom. And this is a must! Black people must' work in both parties, from top to bottom! That simply means for the two party system to work America, to give us an equal balance as Americans. Why should it not work for Black pur eggs in one basket We have to place them around and putting them in one basket does not work. people if we are to be a part of the American dream? We can no longer This writer was so disgruntled at one time. I talked to our longtime friend, Dr. Jim Granberry. about being an independent He quickly advised that with no more Black people than we nave in Lubbock, one must choose one party or another. As far as the major parties are concerned. Blacks must belong to at least one of them. Actually, Blacks should be a part of both parties. We have not hd as much of an opportunity to observe the Republicans as Democrats. We choose the Republicans because their planks did not turn us off as much. Especially with their "free enterprise part of their platform. This writer was so disgusted with both parties, because neither one was reflected to Black people and Black people needs. So after listening to my friend, Dr. Jim, I realizefffliat if you cannot fit into either one, you have to pick the best one for you. As far as the system is concerned, you have to go one way or the other. Since I could not be an independent the Republican ticket and platform sounded more feasible to me. But for Black folks to be a part of the system, we have to become involved in both or all parties. Black folks must forget about white folks and think about and help themselves. That's key and crucial! We must all take as our personal creed: "If it is to be; it is up to me", and we should live by it Black people, in order to be a part of the American Dream, we must participate in the two party system, from top to bottom to survive in the American system. What kind of America would we have if we had two Jesse Jacksons -- one in each major party? Black people, poor people and minorities would have a true voice in the American dream. We must definitely have to become involved in both major parties, from top to bottom, for them to become responsive to our goals, desires and needs. As long as we all go one way. we will continue to be hip pocketed by one party and ignored by the other. We must work from within on both sides and then communicate with each other, and then do what's best for all of us. Southwest Digest P. O.

THE FACTS ARE Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: BEWARE of bogus advertisements offering high paying jobs or Alaska job information for sale. Alaska's unemployment rate reached 11.3 percent during January 1?85 and averaged 9.5 percent for the year. This compares to the national average of 7.2 percent for 1985. Some Alaskan communities experience unemployment as high as 23 percent in any given month. Alaska's employment base is limited and seasonal, and many unemployed individuals are unable to find or afford housing. The cost,pf living in Alaska is high. Alaska's labor unions alf report members waitirig semi-skilledfijo- for openings both Much construction - TftefeT "0' currently a significant down-tur- n in construction and oil industry related employment as a result of the decline in the price of oil. We urge job seekers not to go to Alaska unless the have a firm offer of employment to avoid the traumatjc disappointments facing many newcomers there now. ' For furthsr information: Alaska Department of Labor P. O. Box 1149 Juneau, AK 99811 "Comprehensive Anti-Aparthe- id Actn Dcag Editor: 'I am pleased to inform you that the "Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Acfcof 1986", which I became law on October 2nd when the Senate joined the House of Representatives in overriding President Reagan's veto. The new economic sanctions extensive, although imposed on South Africa are not as tough as the total disinvestment and trade embargo orginally adopted by the House with my suport. I have enclosed a fact sheet which describes the restrictions and requirements of the new law, which I firmly believe will succeed where the Reagan Administration has failed. Nothing short of strong action will help convince thefepressive Botha regime that it cannot retain the cruel apartheid system and sustain white domination indefinitely. The United States must not and, as a result of Congress' action, will not continue to economically support the only country in the world that institutionalizes racism in its constitution. Enactment of this law will send a clear message to the government of South Africa and the world that America's commitment to justice, equality, and human rights are not just empty promises, but our international policy. We will not cooperate with this vll system of racial segregation, political domination, and economic exploitation known as apartheid. Wa mean business in seeking to and racial hatred and oppression throughout the world, m well as here at home.

Conjresf ITS IMPORTANT Tl " mmmmmt urn i itnuiffc Dear Editor: After 200 years, it's still "America, The Beautiful" but now appears becoming "America, The Bugged." When our forefathers came to this young nation, their was to make a living, raise a family, obtain ,an education, and to pass on the American heritage. The nation was especially united in times of war. Thankfully there has been no international conflict in decades but internal disunity is widespread. There is no overseas "blood letting" l)ut domestic struggle would make Karl Marx shave hie head with joy. Now we see: .... conflict between the law abiding and law breaking. .... strife between labor unions VS those desiring non-unio- n workers. .... differences between government entities; federal, state, county and city. , . One of the magnifestations of homeside hostilities Is manifested bu the magnitude and multitude of surveillance (bugging). BIG BROTHER seems to have an "electronic interest" in all Americans and this interest may extend.

If they are so ine ouggea, high-tec- h, The U. S. prison system represents a fltfSftt injustice for Black America. Fear, and the thirst for. punishment are taking young blackmen gone awry and casting them into hell holes where they become angry, bitter, and more criminal than ever. There, they re the targets of untold brutality, ranging from beating to psychiatric experimentation. We have to do something about criminals, but what we are doing now is not right. It is unjust, it doesn't work, and it wastes billions. Consider some facts;-- . This country has more people in prison per capita ii than any other industrialized nation in the world, and . the largest ethnic group in our prisons is Blacks. We also hand out the stiffest sentences, and on the average, black offenders in federal prisons serve 20 percent longer sentences for the same crime as do white offenders. Yet, all this locking up does us little good, for America has the world's highest recidivism (former inmates who return to crime) rate, generally estimated at 70 percent. Further, the number of Blacks in prisons has little to do with crime. One study found that the percentage of Blacks in a population was the chief predictor of incarceration rates, ever though there was no direct relation between the number of Blacks and the crime rate. Former prison warden William Nagel of the "American Foundation did the study. Nagel highly educated, homogenous discovered, for example, that Mississippi has the monoracial, why don't they stay in Japan so that highest percentage of Blacks of any state, has very low Americans will have jobs. The Statue of Liberty is,a crime rate, but yet has a very high incarceration joke: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled Colorado, on the other hand, has a very small masses yearning to be free." Why don't they stay at percentage of Blacks, a very high crime rate, and y6t a home if they are so rich! Thumbs down to verv low incarceration rate. Nor are these isolated . NAKASONE! examples.
