Incidents of racist violence have multiplied during the Reagan years, but
ninonty communities are beginning to organize effective resistance.
1 his was the conclusion of a panel of minority activists speaking at a
forum on "The Struggle Against Racist Violence" held Sunday evening,
lune 28, at the Mt. Olivet Baptish Church, sponsored by the Frontline
newspaper The keynote address by Gerald Lenoir, co-chair of the Black
Liberation Commission of the Line of March, was followed by presentations
ry Chisao Hata, local president of the Japanese American Citizens League,
Jen Priestly, editor of FrontPage, the National Black United Front news
paper. and Mazen Malik, a leader in the General Union of Palestinian Stu-
lents.
' Racist violence crystalizes the fascist impulse in the U .S .," Lenoir ob-
erved. "W hether from the police, the INS, the KKK, Bernard Goetz, or
young white toughs, racist brutality has the purpose of keeping a specially
oppressed sector in 'its place.' White supremacist violence is built into the
;apitalist system, yesterday keeping slaves in 'their place,' today keeping
ngiy, low paid and unemployed minorities in 'their place.'
Blacks have faced racist violence from "day one," agreed Priestly. He
’hen listed numerous local incidents in recent years, from the police choke-
nold murder of Tony Stevenson to the young whites "breaking in their
knife" in the stabbing death of Stanley Reed
We need a broad, united front including all who oppose this brutality,
stated Hata. She urged minorities not to be bitter or accept the attacks as
the way things are", but to turn rage into healthy protest and politics.
1 ‘ ita pointed to the particular case of Vincent Chin, a Chinese-American
igineer beaten to death with baseball bats by white autoworkers in De-
iit (who thought he was Japanese). This incident brought together and
obilized various Asian communities It also showed the direct link bet
*en the current anti foieignef fever and racist attacks.
Malik reinforced Hata's comments, pointing out that for the past decade,
ue U S. government and press have nurtured an anti-Arab hysteria, pre-
p 'ling the public to go to war in the Middle East. "Arabs are portrayed as
't -nonsts' by nature The U.S. media dehumanizes us and open us to phy-
al attack," contended Malik, citing the recent assassination in L.A. of a
1« d e ro fth . Arab American Anti-Discrimination Committee.
I he particular racism of Bernard Goetz shooting four Black youth (who
u doubtedly wanted to rob him) is obscured by the fear and outrage we all
teel about crime in our communities, said Lenoir. We need to organize
against the cause of youth crime which is the racist, "societal crime of
unemployment, poverty, and ghettoization, he asserted.
Recent oiganizing in Chicago has focused on this systemic racism. Le-
,oir pointed out that the election of Mayor Harold Washington has resulted
n tangible changes in housing, jobs, education and city services for mino
rity communities. The coalition which elected Washington was based in
'he Black community with strong link to Latino neighborhoods and to pro-
q-essive whites. These working ties have been established over years of
coalition-building, through such organizations as the Rainbow Coalition
and anti apartheid groups. Political empowerment of minorities in Chicago
has weakened the racist atmosphere which breed anti-minority violence,
according to Lenoir.
the art of weaving by tying knots probably began in the 1200's by Arabians
but it wasn’t called macrame until about the 1400's. That's an Arabic or
Turkish word meaning fringe

the Bering Straits when they formed a broad land-bridge during the last
Ice Age.
