Surgeon General Joycelyn
Eld rs, along with Mayors Kelly
nd Schmo are now claiming
to ha n confronted in th
"hoods" ith questions like:
"How can we (Blacks) let this
dama continue? Isn't it time to
top moralizing about drugs and
put an end to policies that are
de troying our communi ties,
nd the nation?
White House drug-policy di
rector Lee Brown disowns the
term "drug war." "You won't
hear us using the metaphor
'drug war" Brown says. "We
should help those who need help
and arrest those who are traf
ficking in drugs. But I don't
think we should declare war
against our own people," states
the former head of police in New
York, Houston and Atlanta.

W m GTON, D.C. - According to the 1 t t popul ion
proj ions reI by the Censu Bur u 1 t w k Hispan
ics will repla African Ameri ns as thi n tion' 1 r t
minority by the year 2020. The bureau projects that Blacks will
number 45.4 million by 2020 and Hispanics will total 51.2
million.
The proportion of whites will al 0 decline. White Americans
cur ntly ccount for 83.3� of th nation' total popul tion.
But, if the Censu Bureau is right, that percents will d line
to 78.2� by 2020.
The report also uggest that th biggest factor influencing
population changes will be immigration. Disproportionately,
immigrants go to California, New York, Texas, Florida, New
Jersey and Illinois. The largest number of immigrants are
expected to be Spanish-speaking. But Asians are also expected
to grow rapidly within the next 30 years. The experts are
unclear as to whether the population shifts will lead to greater
or less ethnic 'trife.

Aristide blasts Clinton
Haitt policy as racist
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The exiled president of Haiti, Jean
Bertrand Aristide, last week denounced Clinton administra
tion policy toward his country, labeling the policy "racist."
Aristide was particularly upset with Clinton's continuation of
Bush administration policy in which refugees from Cuba are
eagerly accepted in the U.S. while refugees fleeing the oppres
sive regime in Haiti are forced to return.
According to Aristide - who was overthrown by the coun
try's current military regime - the U.S. policy toward Haiti is
"really a way of saying we don't care. " The ousted leader is also
frustrated that the U.S. has not done more to restore him to
power. Meanwhile, a Clinton spokesperson said, "Our policy
remains to restore democracy and restore President Aristide"
to Haiti.
