' Talk Sho To Be Pro By GLENN BURKINS SUH Writer Tony Brown, host of America's top-rated syndicated black talk program, spoke to more than 500 * students in the Russell House Ballroom Feb. 19. Brown, host of "Tony Brown's Journal," was at USC by invitation of The A _r A f Association 01 Airo American Students in observance of Black History Month. Brown said the major problem he feels is plaguing black America is a lack of faith hv hlar?lc<i in thpms#?lvp? w as a race. He attributed this to the myth that blacks are inferior to whites. "There is no legit i macy to the inferiority of any group," I> >wn said. He added that % _ _1 1 _1 I A. DiacKS nave aone wnai was told of them. "A child is a blank piece of paper. He becomes what he is told that he is."

He accused blacks of spending their money in white businesses. He said, A dollar turns over numerous times within the white community before one penny gets to the black community." He said Ronald Reagan's "new federalism" will hurt the blacks' ability to deal within the state but added it could h? a hlfissinp in disguise. "We will be able to keep a closer eye on the officials we put in office and know who our enemies are."
