MINORITY

* I 1 ! V ♦ >

Pkdkp SmrUm. president of international Marketing SgsUnu, is writing a amtmoMS$ene$ of artielet on Minority Business. This is m weettg feature m The Indianapolis Retarder. Sextan has extensive management art business experience. He has held positions in academia, large corporations, consulting, vice-president of a small business art now president of his own firm. So few block....why? While business values and attitudes were developed and accepted by the majority of the upper classes, the masses of the people gave only grudging acceptance to a business system controlled by captains of industry. The non-black community has long taught that the greatest rewards are to be found in the business world...that power lies in wealth, and the wealthy controls the nations political structure. Don’t misunderstand me. the power of the vote is extremely important, however what are you doing for the other three hundred and sixty four days of the year when you are not voting? Our Mack young men/Wsmtn have been taught to seek fi 1 rt «• aaMOMU sum nan asrt ■ o~ow « m snaa a a s <■■■ saaaao k Book III IlwlOW H mfb OMSCIaC^laK 1 * Movv ftfoO vlM? I oiMttstry.

Indeed, it does no good to teach that you must pull yourself up by your boot straps 2* w hen you have no boots. % •' It is interesting to note that the call for success in I* America...America's most persuasive siren, failed to call I- American Blacks. The siren is still sounding. It’s still calling farm boys/girls who are trekking in droves to the city. It has »' drained the towns and countryside of Europe and is *' beginning to drain the towns of other continents as well. I' Indeed we have 5 Million illegal aliens in this country taking jobs that Blacks could have. Some people would also point out correctly, that Blacks have aot had the opportunities of Whites in this country. In ;* (act. a young white man migrating from Europe, who can’t * even read or speak the language, has a greater opportunity j for success than a Black man whose ancestors have been on Z these shores for 350 years. The siren is still sounding, but its sound is muted in the < Black community. Altherton stated, in Main Street on the - Middle Bonier, that, “local politics were largely run by the ^ merchants, manufactures, and lawyers, and the same « groups directed the charities, schools and clubs.” “Every * country town." according to Atherton, “has an inner circle ‘ whose own personal interest were so tightly woven with * those of the community at large that one cannot determine l where self interest ended and public spirit began." “The ' newspaper publisher, large or small, was a member of this l local business group. The opinions of this group were most * often expressed in print, because in the eyes of the publisher they represented ‘ordinary common senseV When in fact i the views of ordinary people were never printed. ^ The point is the same one that Maynard Jackson. Mayor of « Atlanta, made when he spoke at the CAAP dinner....“we ' must help ourselves, the time for our depending upon others ' is over." It was Henry Ford’s belief that “thinking men know < that work is the salvation of the race, morally, physically. ? socially. Work does more than get us our living; it gets us l our life." How effective are our religious leaders in helping Blacks? How effective are our politicians in helping Blacks? "r How effective are our organizations and clubs in helping > Blacks? The answer lies in another question! Has your standard of ! Ii\ ing increased or decreased? If it has decreased, then you had better turn on the computer in your brain and try to •? figure out how you can help yourself. > Black businesses get high grades when it comes to the > answers to the same questions: v We are training and developing Blacks who work for us. “ We are paying them a salary that helps increase their “ standard of living. W'e are giving them pride and respect. We are developing full and complete American citizens. SUPPORT BLACK BUSINESSES. IT MAKES GOOD SENSE... .

Stun a stocking with a tire pressure gauge, a meat thermometer, or a shower flow restrictor. Knit and give sweaters, it's easier to heat individuals than houses.

By Joe Black

Since 1960 Black people have had rallying cries such as: “We Shall Overcome’*:"Power to the People”: and "Nation Time ”; however, for the Black Brothers and Sisters in the 1980’s there can be but one rallying motto and that is: “Survival Time** The national administration is forcefully telling us that the government is not going to take care of us. But rather than curse this unforeseen negative action, we should heed the encouragement of a Black man who suggests: “T^ke the first step, stand on your feet, there is always help for the problems you meet." Although they are suffering, I say that there is help for the Black, the poor, and the elderly: and I am not talking about any form of hand-outs. God has given to each of us a mind for thinking and a body for working and He helps those who help themselves.Thus, I am reminding you that Black survival will come through political participation and economic growth. My friends. Black America, with its projected annual gross income in excess of $100 billion dollars, is not a poverty state-we just have misguided priorities. For example, as we labor through the years we are content to think that Social Security will support us when we reach the age of 65. But why shouldn’t we think and plan to live a little better during our golden years? We can if we heed these words of Mr, Allen Beasley: “No man should stay poor, begin to save: get up! Don’t be a slave. Let’s pledge to gain economic freedom by saving rather than spend ing. The task won’t be difficult—to save $10.00 each pay day we only need to sacrifice some of our weekly alcohol and tobacco purchases. The Black philosopher tells us: “Don’t be a slave to strong drink, a slave to dope: even a slave to creditors: it’s no joke. Remember, it’s not the one with the highest I.Q., but rather what each chooses to do.”
