Bond.-, it1S m. hv Margaret Swendseld He is slick. Julian Bond spoke Thursday night. HIut as much as his words peel smooth over barbed wire,'his mind directs a clear, wise energy. The Georgia legislator stated: -We can't afford to -live in the I ith hour it's- been midnight since Nixon rose from the dead. **We can't afford the luxury of Woodst ock in the face of Watts or. of saying this action is too. con servative or too liberal. Because ihe struggle for justice and equality is racial in roots. * As of two months ago, there are 1.no) black politicians in the U. S., an incredibly small number. For black people it means we have to compromise until -nothing is left. - Imagine you're one of those blacks elected. A group of black people selected you; people like me who live in a city or town. What outsiders call a ghetto - what we call a neighborhood. They work hard, are cheated by local mer chants: They live next to prost it ution and narcotics and that means some of them are on welfare. For all of us politicians, t hese people chose us because they thought we'd make life easier. But we are only 1800 in number, and as a class, as crooked and corrupt as college students and their professors. ''he rhetoric of black struggle has to be transformed into action. Independence. is so important to us. We have to -act in our own in ierests - not just defeat Nixon but also put in office men and women who care about -us and our problems. -I propose to begin today in precincts. counties, towns, the Iremendous task to bring about a black electorate: And arguing against -it are those limousine liberals who must have their manhood insulted before they pay for the rats in the ghetto; or those open-hearted people who want, you to sign a petition against dliscriminat ion in Iceland. * NOW PL4 Fe(atuires: 2:03. EA5TER fE 44s .:0, ..:30* lays inight. "Additionally, there are alar ming signs for -us all. TlIhe infant Mort alit y rates for whites has lallen but fOr blacks has gone up. Itetardation in the slums and ghettos has gone up. These are 'small' disruptions - but a signal as to what went wrong is still wrong. "Violence doesn't limit itself. We ought to examine the violence that runs rampart in American life. For blacks. we are first in war, last .in peace. and seldom in the hearts of our country men. "It is violent and criminal for a merchant to charge $125 in interest and wonder why his store gets torn down. The romantic rhetoric of revolution is criminal without solving the real problems of welfare. It is violent and criminal to -live in a land where the public spends more on tobacco a year than education, or more on pet loods than welfare. "It is rascist for one set of people Io impose their culture on another. We have been accused of black rascism. But until you hear James Brown over Beethoven, of Muhammed Ali over Jerry Quarry, of Elijah Muhammed over the Pope, then don't accuse us of racism. *Of course these things are true; but we implore you to accept the responsibility that they are true. 'As W.E.B. Dubois said, 'The problem of the 20th century is the problem of the color line: in Asia, Africa. and in the islands of the seas. That problem is the root of everything.' " In the question period of his speech, Bond answered regarding the Angela Davis trial: "I'm sure Miss Davis will be set free. Right now President Nixon may be on the phone to -announce that shell be set free. Because here you've got -another guy, Calley, who's murdered 22 in nocent civilians. And he was tried, convicted, and sentenced, and Nixon says he doesn't have to stay in prison;- but gets his own apart ment so his girlfriend can v:isit him. No I'm sure that Miss Davis will be set 'free."
