European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - March 22, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse Wednesday March 22, 1989 the stars and stripes Page 11 Ann Landers. Dear Ann Landers i am a sponsor at 9 third world child but i fee strongly that we should teach the women in the underdeveloped countries about birth control. They should not be Breeding like animals out of ignorance. I Don t understand How those undernourished women have the strength to Cany and give birth to babies. Can t the organizations thai do such a Good Job of organizing the feeding of these people figure out f How to address Thi problem i birth control methods were taught and provided in these countries the health and Well being of these peo ple would improve dramatically and they would to longer need so Mitch aid.,1 realize that All people underprivileged included have the right to be parents but i also believe that i they can t feed their children they have no right to bring them into the world. What kind of love is it that can took into the eyes of a starving child knowing that the child will die of malnutrition feeding these children is like trying to empty the Atlantic Ocean with a Teaspoon in a rainstorm. I a Happy to do my share but i know it is not the answer. Do you have the courage to address this Issue . Victoria Tex letters writer angered by american s racial slur. According to or.

Here it is never go to it doctor whose office plants Hart died. I am a 31-year-old Black woman writing in Hopes of raising the social and racial consciousness of Ameri cans living overseas. On March 3, a Friend of mine who is also a Black female along with her 11-year-old son and my 4-year-old daughter were dining in a Creek restaurant in Lampen Cim West Germany. While dining a Whiteman american sitting behind us with a German fam ily continued to turn around and look Back at us As if he were annoyed with our presence in the restaurant. We did t pay any attention and finished our German woman complimented the 11 year old on How Well he spoke a few minutes had gone by the american and his party got up to leave. On his Way out he looked atme Shook his head and said you re a disgrace to american society Nigger Upsel exchanged Wordsmith him and got up to confront him outside t asked him what made him so High and mighty he did answer and continued to walk to the car and drove away accompanied by his German acquaintances i must say that that was the first time in my 31 years of life that f was openly called a Nigger. Some May say that As a Black american it s bound to happen sooner or later but i m mostly amazed at the fact that this happened to me by another so called american while. In Germany. He must have travelled with plenty of Luggage to bring such trash and ignorance across the vast Atlantic Ocean. After much thought on this whole incident i have come to this conclusion being called a Nigger by another american while overseas or Back Home was a insult to me sheer ignorance on his part and probably humorous to the other germans who witnessed this incident since Many Don t always judge people by skin color. I m sure they wondered Why americans have had for decades More racial turmoil outside of South Africa than most other countries in the world and yet Stilt consider themselves leaders of the free world. I m proud to say that i served nine years in the army with an honorable discharge. I m a College Grad uate working in the Field of finance and accounting. Have Many friends Black White and hispanic and i do not judge my friends by their color i judge every one by their character. I say to Alt americans the racial barriers that behave set up Are senseless and a big disgrace to our foreign friends the same disgrace As the gentleman who called me a Nigger. Pamela Spearman Darmstadt West Germany letter on Drunken driving brings replies i would like to respond to the commander s letter unit offering measures to help curb commander did it Ever occur to you that super Soldier Junior Leader May have a disease which causes him to do stupid things .

Doe do this Dpi especially after All the inc eve Sant warnings there Are three conditions that exist within Man of us docs of All grades and rinks that cause these actions. First we create an excessive amount of tension and fears we discover that alcohol will give us temporary Relief from these and our repealed use of alcohol creates the second condition an obsession of the mind to drink alcohol.

Has its rats crime too this letter is in response to recent news articles in the stars and stripes concerning my beloved country Italy and in particular my Home City of Naples in. My opinion the article regarding crime on the italian trains was biased reporting. I agree that there is a Strong criminal element in Italy however the exists in America More often resulting in loss of life As Well As personal possessions. A recent article concerning the 10 million mis i Naples is sensationalist reporting. There arc rats in Naples just As there arc in any Large Erc in. ,including the United slates of America. Why have i not seen any articles reporting this problem in . Cities i consider America my second country As 1 am mar ried to a . . However 1 wish Ameri cans would be a Little More objective in reporting their own problems. For example what about the two legged rat David Duke just elected to the Louisiana legislature in my opinion this individual can do More damage to the future of America than can our 10 Mil Ion rats in Naples All i am trying to say is that White i agree tha America is a great country there Are indeed other countries that arc just As Good. All i have heard so Faris americans complaining about the living conditions in Italy i have been to the United states and 1 did not find life any easier you have the same problems of violent crime and unsanitary conditions. I sometimes think americans fail to realize that every country is beset by such problems.
