"IIA VE YOU B E keeping
up with th new, Wrote?"
"That depend on what you
mean by 'keeping up,' Sam."
"You know," he said. "I mean
have you been reading ny article
about Ann Arbor and Gro e
Pointe?"
"If you are referring to the one
in Ann Arbor about the chool
board member who called Magic
Johnson 'a big dumb Black kid,'
yes. I am not sure about Grosse
Pointe."
"Yeah!" hid. "That person
who said that about Magic needs to
.' be out of education period. But I
�. was thinking about that segregated
cia s at Ann Arbor's Huron High
School. You know. They think
racial segregation is a motivating
factor."
"I did read, and al 0 heard about
that Sam, but what truck m
peculiar w : How do people allow
the things to happen? Surely
J' orne Bl c person w in on the
, planning or knew about it. So why
didn't that individual, or person,
peak up?"
"IT'S CALLED JOB
\ security," Sam said. "Now. That
thing in Gro se Pointe; making two
streets one way streets is blatant
racism."
"So you figured that one out
. too. Huh Sam?"
"There was no mystery to it,
wrote. Making two streets one way
streets coming into Detroit. Give
me a break please. Give me a
break."
"All right Sam, I told you no
. Sister Pearl or Wichita." ,
"Sorry, Wrote. I torgot."
"Ok, Sam," I aid. "You are .
coming in loud and clear about
Ann Arbor but what is the answer
about Gro e Pointe?"
"I don't know, Wrote. Ever
inee the Reagan days this country
has been gettin more racist by the
day. And 'some of these Black
politicans don't eem to realize it."
"What's your point, Sam. I am
not going to stay on this phone all
day." ,.
"MY POINT IS" if Black
:. political figures would spend more
: time on issues that affect the
• · immediate economic and social
: . well being of the Black
commmunity, in tead of lam
blasting Clarence Thorn because
his views are different from their
: � . views, we would be a lot better
. ' off."
"You have to break that down
Sam. I am not ure I am following
you."
"Wrote! I aid way back when:
these kinds of things don't lip up
orr people. Someone within the city
and county had to know about
what Grosse Pointe was planning.
They probably knew about it from
day one."
"Yeah. I ee what you mean. By
concentrating on divisive i ues,
the one who are either elected or
appointed themselve Black
leaders, are leading us to the
slaughter. I that what you mean
Sam?"
. "Yeah! Wrote. That's what I
mean. And that is the bottom line."
