Blacks will bethe vanguard Thursday, Jul 30, 1970 THE MICN1IGAN DAILY I THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1970 News Phone: 764-0552 Hint of things to come ONE MORE indication has come to light of the lengths to which the powers that rule the University are willing to go to repress dissent and maintain their control. In a secret action last April, the Regents voted that students who have been arrested and forfeited bond should be barred from re-enrolling in the University until their court cases have been finished. The immediate effect of the action was to bar about five of the students arrested4n last September's LSA Bldg. sit-in from continuing at the University. This is especially ironic since major portions of the statute under which arrests were made in the sit-in have since been ruled un- constitutional - making it likely the five will never be convicted. BUT THE constitutionality of the law and the guilt or innocence of the accused students are essentially ir- relevant to the question of whether they should be barred from re-enrolling for "jumping bail." Strikingly, there has been no punitive action taken by the University against those already convicted in the sit-in case. Neither should there be: Participation in the demonstration in no way reflected on the academic com- petence of those involved. Why then should those who have forfeited bond on- the same charge be penalized by the University? The courts and legal authorities can handle such cases them- selves: Bail jumpers have already been penalized by their forfeiture of bond and face possible imprisonment if they are apprehended. There is no reason why the University should feel obligated to add to this penalty, except, per- - haps the desire to further add to the repression of their activities. Despite its obvious unfairness and the aura of suspic- ion and secrecy surrounding its formation, the policy on bail jumping seems of only symbolic interest when com- pared to the more comprehensive action taken by the Regents in April. This was the establishment of the new "Interim Rules" under which an "impartial" (sic) hearing officer appointed by the president will act as judge, jury and executioner in non-academic cases brought against stu- dents. Together, the two actions offer a good indication of the thrust of regental action against dissent in the months to come. Both will require a firm, possibly militant re- sponse from the University community. By JEAN GENET (EDITOR'S NOTE: This article is re- printed with the permission of Ram- parts Magazine). FOR THE WHITE MAN, history, past and future, is very long, and his set of references is very imposing. For the black man, time is short, for his history has been brutally interrupted a n d modi- fied by the whites, who have done everything to prevent him from having his own, original develop- ment. And in the U.S., we are still busy setting limits on black peo- ple's time and space. Not only is each and every one of them forced to withdraw within himself; he is also imprisoned by us. And when this is not enough, we assassinate him. Because of Chairman Bobby Seale's exceptional political stat- ure, his trial is in fact a political trial of the Black Panther Party and, on a more general basis, a race trial held against all of America's blacks. T HE REALITY of the black col-s ony'within the United States is very complex. Dispersed as they are within a nation so chauvinis- tic that she likes to think of her- self as master of the world, the blacks, who are oppressed by rac- ism and indifference and threat- ened by an oppressive police and administration, have been forced to wage a very new type of fight. That is how the Black Panther Party was created: first of all to defend the rights of the colonized blacks inside the U.S., but also to synthesize new ways for blacks to struggle against white oppression. Faced with the vigor of their action and the accuracy of their political thinking, the whites - and especially the police - had a racial reaction almost immediate- ly: as soon as the blacks proved that they were able to organize themselves, the whites rushed to discredit their organization. The police were therefore able to hide the true meaning of their intentions behind pretexts-trials based on drug, murder and con- spiracy charges. The fact of the matter is that they were trying to massacre the leaders of the Black Panther Party. In 1968, at the time of Huey Newton's trial, the government still seemed reluctant to massacre the Black Panther Party. From May 2, 1967, to September 28, 1968 - the date of Huey Newton's trial - there w e r e 55 cases against members of the Black Panther Party. All of this happened with- in a period of 16 months. But if we do another calcula- tion, this time from September 28, 1968, to December 8, 1969, we find that there w e r e 373 cases against the Panthers. That was during a period of 15 months. It is now April 1970. Less than a month ago, Bobby Seale was extradited from California and sent to jail in New Haven, Connecticut. There were a few demonstrations, but they were really very weak com- pared with what happened during Huey Newton's trial. WHAT ABOUT US: What are wedoing? When the bombs hit Hanoi, we had some epidermal reactions. So did we during the Korean war. These massacres weretaking placefar away. Here and now, we are finding out that the colonized, within our own borders, who still appear to us like shadows in our midst, a r e about to become our adversaries, in our own country. To a foreign observer, the de- terioration of relations between blacks and whites is without mys- tery. In one year, police repres- sion has so brutally escalated that white Americans are full of fears. All kinds of fears. First of a 11, there is fear of the police. Intel- lectuals know (or think) t h e y are threatened by Agnew's brag- ging. Even if they've demonstrat- ed their disgust w i t h Newton's trial, today they are silent: Bobby may die. By intensifying the repression,, the Nixon administration knew it could quiet the intellectuals who are comfortably set up in univer- sities or in well-protected neigh- borhoods. Intellectuals owe it to themselves to take up the chal-r lenge, and to refuse the Nixonian order. Liberals who hollered so loudly during the Chicago trial are now mute. And to justify themselves, they even say that thePanther Party is endangere by its own violence. Another fear is showing its true colors, and without daring to call it by its proper name, everybody recognizes it. "Bobby Seale? After all, he's a black man." This reflex, in each white man, is less abrupt than I have stated. Probably it's never expressed in these terms, even under people's breath. But in an even more sur- reptitious way, the thought goes through people's minds and cor- rupts them. The intelligence and political daring of the blacks makes white people uneasy and. indignant, Blacks who have kept their sensitivity intact even in the face of such threats once again rec- ognize the appearance of the old enemy: racism. If y o u n g white Americans in the past few years have tried to' conduct themselves on an equal basis with blacks, police terror is "about to throw them back into their forefathers' stupidity. While middle-aged Americans in the lap of comfort huddle snug- ly in their security, the young will have everything to lose of they let themselves be dispossessed of their fighting spirit. If they want to bring themselves together with blacks, whose revolutionary ma- turity is evident, they will need courage - but also intelligence, which is much rarer in this coun- try. BOBBY SEALE'S trial will be a test for young white 'revolu- tionaries. It is their turn to prove how clearly they can analyze the situation and how skillfully they can go about finding means for action. This, here and now, is the moment of truth - for Bobby Seale, for the Black Panthers, for young white Americans. If the repression increases, it is obvious that the blacks will see a collective crime being committed against them, a crime committed in collective complicity. On the other hand, if whites who call themselves radicals a r e able to bring themselves together with blacks for this trial, theirs will be a great victory. The torment of guilt which supposedly is crippling them will lose its power. Even a slight retreat in the repression would be a victory for the blacks, and also for the whites. One would doubt whetherrwhites could pre- vent the trial from happening, but they could affect the verdict and its application. White Americans must do everything they can for Bobby, since this is how the blacks will see whether or not they must act alone. If they are forced to act alone, after the trial, t h e y might have to act in desperation. And no one would dare want to bey the cause of such desperation. We must also be aware of the fact that blacks have been able to liberate themselves from the old terrors exercised by whites by means of the Christian religion. For more than 400 years, whitest were able to use the Old and New Testaments with diabolic skill. We know what happened: to the blacks, the whites advised the gen- tleness of the evangelical moral which makes it a duty to respect the master- the white man; to suffer in'silence; and to wait fort divine rewards after death. At the same time, the Bible was read to them, filled with celestial threats against those who revolt. VIOLENCE. If we m u s t, let'ss talk about it, but by seeing itt first for what it is: a word. A - word used by those who elaborat- ed and imposed the language: the masters. According to h o w the1 word will serve them, it can sig- nify God's will; used against them, it can become a sign of shame and degradation. When white men use violence, violence is good. When blacks use it, they are considered animals. However, it so happens that the blacks have exposed the tricks of language, as they have exposed religious tricks, legal shams and social deform- ities. Blacks aren't afraid of words anymore, regardless of the color- ation that whites might give to them.1 It is evident that recommending non-violence to blacks is an effort to retain the Christain vocabu- lary which has kept them impris- oned in passivity for so long,, How- e v er Christian the whites are, they don't feel guilty about using guns: that is violence. Asking blacks in America to be non-vio- lent means that whites are de- manding a Christian virtue which they themselves do n o t possess. That means that whites are once again trying to dupe the blacks. White people call the blacks' re- volt violent, their actionsdviolent. The blacks don't give a damn, if they need violence in order to sur- vive and to live. The blacks can- not be intimidated. They are al- ready the stronger because they are right.' For the whites, the cry of the blacks is an act of violence which shatters their delicate eardrums. Apparently, these whites aren't conscious 'of the fact that black music was once a wail: today it's a battle cry. - Let's go back to the statistics I quoted earlier: from May 2, 1967, to September 28, 1968 - a key date, the date that Huey was con- demned to 15 -years in prison - there were 55 cases recorded against the Panthers. From Sep- tember 28, 1968, tosDecember 9, 1969, there were 373 cases. The. acceleration of the repression is staggering. It is aimed above all at the Black PantherParty. From March 1, 1968, to August 25, 1968, five Panthers were killed. From October 6, 1968, to December 20, 1969, 15 Panthers were killed. The figures are accurate. Here are some more: from March 2, 1968, to September 28, 1969, 130 Pan- thers were called in for question- ing, as compared with 738 who were summoned from September 29 to December 9, 1969. Therefore, in one year, the re- pression increased in a direct pro- portion of one to seven. IF WE RECOGNIZE the fact that the Panther movement is the most profoundly revolutionary movement in America, it is time for us to act as quickly as we can to prevent its total destruction. Without a doubt it is a question of life and death for the Black Pan- ther Party and for Bobby Seale - but also for all revolutionary movements in this country. We might also add, for those who don't believe they are direct- ly concerned with the revolution because they have material se- curity: a critical, revolutionary mind doesn't necessarily develop only among the poor or the weak. In different ways it can develop in the minds of the rich and the strong. Even though it is fed by demands whichare the result of social injustice and inequality, revolution is an act of intelligence and sensitivity. Above all, revolu- tion thinks itself into being. As such, it uses the tactics m o s t suited for its-realization. The rev- olution will be made by everybody. What is new abgut this situa- tion is that in a nation where white people are in the majority, the revolutionary core is contain- ed in the black community. We must therefore acknowledge the fact that its leaders are Cleaver, Newton and'Seale. @ Ramparts Magazine SINGLE ROOM, refrig. and light cook- 1302 OLIVIA, all furnished, 2 bdrm. ing. 436 Thompson. 44065 apt. 353-1993.

Yet it is a start. Corruption remains rampant in the state, but at least J.S. Attorney Frederic] Lacey has demonstrated to the many politicians of the Garden State, who have made fortunes out of corrupt political deals, that prosecution and conviction are very real possibilities. Since being appointed to the post, Lacey has probed into the affairs of politicians at all levels, and not sur- prisingly, he has discovered scores of corrupt deals as well as numerous connections with organized crime. It. must be stated, however, that the investigations have proceeded extremely slowly and are constantly being threatened by political pressures. So far Lacey has remained adamant in his intention to continue investigations, but he must continue to do so. His prosecution of Addonizio must be only the beginning. -PHILIP HERTZ L - the mini adw A A* A* TASK ALL THESES-MANUSCRIPTS-PAPERS expertly typed-edited PRINTING -THESES - FLYERS BROCHURES economical, 24-hr. round-the-clock service FOR ANY OFFICE SERVICE call THE PROFESSIONALS 10 years experience in Ann Arbor 761-4146 or 761-1187 1900 WN.
