America with a C
TO THE EDITOR:
I am quite astonished and might
I add, amazed that the GameKocks
should take it upon itself to compare
61 percent of the voters of America
to a "covey of sleazy whores". I
believe that this phrase has been
misused somewhat.
Mr. McGovern, in my opinion,
raped the Democratic Party at their
convention by allowing his minority
of idealistic-sadists to literally take
over (forcefully rape?) that conven
tion, and draw up a platform that
only 38 percent of the American
Electorate agreed with. However,
minorities are not always wrong.
The Jewish minority in Nazi Ger
many had the right to exsist. The
black and Indian minorities, in
America. have the right to voice
their opinion, and to create their
own culture. The people who voted
for Mr. McGovern had-the right to
express their opinion, as did the
people who voted for Mr. Nixon.
Sour-grapes will get you nowhere,
Charles. Try next time, and maybe
political idealism will be in vogue.
P. S. America is spelled with a C,
Knavery is spelled with a K.

Spitting back
This letter is directed to R. Linton
Admiral, the gentleman who wrote
the article in the Gamecock of
November second.
A group of black students here on
campus are presently discussing
the possibility of giving you stu
dents a "White Culture Week."
Funny, huh, you thought you had all
52 weeks. The date of this week
would take place sometime next
semester. We are planning to have
as guest lecturers Master Strom

Thurmond, George Wallace and
Robert Scoggins. We also plan to
invite members of the John Birch
Society and the Daughters of the
Confederacy over for tea and a dis
cussion. The topic will be "How to
Sustain White Supremacy." Instead
of having a contest for who could
grow the wooliest head of hair we
are planning to have a contest on
who could grow the stringiest head
of hair for you Europeans. We are
also planning to decorate a barn and
throw a shingding or square dance.
Consequently as you walk into the
Ragsell House there would be pic
tures of European Gods of hate that
robbed Africa of its people and cul
ture and raped the Indians of their
country because they were culture
less and countryless. Last but not
least, we will have a confederate
flag hanging from the ceiling in the
Russell House and the song "Dixie"
will be continuously played over the
radio station.
If what we Black students did last
week horrified you, you had better
transfer because that was only the
beginning. The Afro association has
undertook the objective of display
ing Black Culture not only for one
week, but for 52 weeks and thats
forever and after.
Why is it that when Blacks try to
do something here at Carolina we
are given so much static? Is it that
we are getting out of our places?
The Afro Association caught hell
last 'week in its presentation of
"Black Culture Week." But if you
think that pressuring us is going to
keep us in our "places" you had bet
ter regroup and formulate another
strategy because it only makes us
more determined to increase our
overall effort. We admit that we
made several mistakes, however,
we made mistakes of which I am
sure other organizations have
made.
So R. Linton Admiral if you think
that we are spitting in your face and
laughing at you, "right on," Blacks
have been laughed at, scorned,

Chickens come home
TO THE EDITOR:
That obscure fossil of
McCarthyism, replete with secret
campaign funds, obvious corrup
tion, and a host of other "bugs," has
been stuffed and remodelled for
another four years by the American
people. It is inconceivable.
Pity America, land of buffoons
and fools...
TIM BEALL
Colorblind
TO THE EDITOR:
In response to the previous letters
to the editor, "A Different Racism"
and "Black Strength", I would like
to contribute my ideas on the sub
ject of better understanding
between Blacks and Whites.
It seems ridiculous that two
groups of intelligent, responsible
individuals cannot live together in
harmony, as brothers and sisters,
regardless of race. Several years
ago, it seemed as though this par
ticulaf' point was of the utmost
importance: now, instead of equal
ity of the races, Blacks wish to
dominate Whites. As this trend
becomes more intense, many
Whites are beginning to wonder if
their pro-black feelings are guiding
them in the right direction. Why
should Whites support a movement
whose main objective is to overtake

them? I know that much anti-white
sentiment has resulted from a new
surge of Black independence. I
think that independence is great;
what's more, I think that taking
pride is being Black is essential for
Black success. However, the most
important thing for all of us, Black
or White, to remember is that we
are all Human, and that we owe love,
brotherhood, and common courtesy
to one another.
Black slavery is the biggest mis
take that whites ever made. It is
a mistake that should remain fresh
in the memories of all Whites so that
they can better understand the
sometimes agressive actions of
their Black brothers: as the saying
goes, "Back a person into a corner,
and he will fight." The slavery mis
take is one that should also remain
fresh in the minds of all Blacks, so
that it may serve as an incentive
to be successful in their ambitions,
and also, that it may prevent any
equally grevious injustice to any
other race.
My feelings on this subject will
probably be met with opposing opin
ions of Blacks and Whites, alike.
However, honestly viewing the
situation, I see no other way to con
tentment other than "color-blind"
cooperation among all people, at all
times.

TO THE EDITOR:
Yes, we "asked for it", but we
didn't ask for your obnoxious
editorial in the November nine
Gamecock. Your editoral was filled
with contempt for the people who
voted against becoming the
economic slaves of McGovernism.
There was one very strong,
rational arguement for voting for
Nixon. McGovern was running
against him. The Democratic can
didate had plans to extend the gov

ernment into almost every area of
human activity. He wanted a policy
of national surrender abroad, with
the notable exception of Israel.
McGovern wouldn't be behind
Israel to get the Jewish vote, would
he? Perish the thought!
So you're worried that reaction is
sweeping the state and nation
because Nixon beat McGovern and
Thurmond beat what's-his-name.
Wait till 74 and 76, you ain't seen
nothing yet.
If you really care about individual
liberties why don't you quit stealing
thousands of dollars from us in the
form of fees. Let the people who
want to finance the trash you write
give donations. I'm sure you are
1000 percent behind that plan.
"Quick, on your knees! There are
madmen loose in the country." And
in the Gamecock office also, I might
add.

Me and Stewart and Will Ed were
sitting around the other day and we
made up some riddles. I thought
you might enjoy them. Score your
self as follows: 0 correct, average;
1 correct, excellent; 2-5 correct, you
cheated.
1. What is the saddest state in the
Union? 2. What is the happiest state
in the Union? 3. What state is round
on each end and high in the middle?
4. What state is green on the outside
but yellow when you open it up to
get the seeds? 5. What state smokes
like gypsy weed but still drives the
chicks wild?
