In another article John Saffire said he a just had a baby. Its the Best thing that Ever happened to  great. Pm Happy for him. However its a fact that Many done to look at it that Way. Leave Buffalo Wichita and All those people alone. If abortion is what they want let them have it. Pro choices can worry about their own souls without any help from people who have never met them who done to know their situation and who  care less after the demonstrations Are Over. A Michelle c. Arbic Heidelberg German for shame or. Exon percent higher rate of unemployment than Whites. The Center on budget and policy priorities revealed in a study that Blacks under the age of 18 living in poverty reached 45 percent in 1987, a rate higher than the late 1960s and Early 1970s. I am saddened because six of 10 Black families with children under age 18 were headed by women. I am also saddened that some Black youths feel that they must Hurt each other just to provide for themselves. No we have not made it. A Derrick Green Raf Alconbury England editor s note first time in my life in Mem to be from Nebraska Embar have been born in Omaha More so for Steve Exon and Bunch of Book burners for  or is that we ban what we done to under for the Barrasse passed to but even his Little a Omaha a Omaha  in be been serving in the air Force outside the United states now for 2x/z years away from Nebraska my Home my family Etc. Just what has happened what gives them the right to Force their personal Nightmare View of decency on me to the educated this is known As censorship. Am i not capable of Choice have i lost my knowledge of right and wrong if there Are any books left in Omaha i suggest a Good history Book and a copy of the Constitution. If they Haven to already a a modified them they will notice America was founded by inventors artists writers and educators who left lands of censorship. In other words free thinkers. It comes Down to education and Choice. These Are everyone a constitutional rights. Just not in Nebraska if you done to like it done to buy it because i might. Just because i done to like the movie does no to mean i firebomb the theater. Nice Witch Hunt or. Exon really something to be proud of. A senior airman Michael Jahnke Raf Mildenhall England Long Way to go this is in response to a writer who feels Blacks have finally made it. I would agree that tremendous gains have been made within our society but these accomplishments were made by a number of minorities not just one. Young Blacks need positive role models As Well As a positive image of their communities. They also need better education As Well As Hope and inspiration. I work on a flight with a majority of Whites. I am also an avid Reader of Ebony Ebony Man and Many other Black publications. I done to feel segregated from them because of this fact. I am very proud to know who i am and where i want to go in life. A study done by the National Urban league revealed that one of four Black males was either in jail or prison. The same study showed that even though Blacks constitute 12 percent of the nations population they have a 2.2 letters from readers expressing their viewpoints or opinions Are published daily in this space.

From maj. Gen. Terry Allen to editor Ken Zumwalt your special gave us a picture of stripes first 50 years. The pictures you chose were fantastic each one Worth a thousand words. Have you considered a Coffee table Book i really enjoyed Reading about All who got their Start in the business with the stars and stripes partially i guess because my dad started his 35-year newspaper career with a unit newsletter in the South Pacific during world War ii. A Andrew p. Hardy Kapaun air station Germany no evil conspiracy in a sure if Gen. Colin l. Powell Justice Clarence Thomas or Justice Sandra Day of Connor read the letter printed april 26, they must be counting their blessings for having achieved pre eminent positions of Power in America. They were just Lucky i guess or perhaps they were handpicked puppets of the establishment. I mean they Are not members of the evil a Anglo male conspiracy that the writer says controls this country. How could they have made it to their High stations by Way of their own Merit some Are born More privileged than others. However Equality of Opportunity is guaranteed to All a All that choose to pursue it that is. Look at the growing number of non Anglo non male doctors engineers professors generals mayors it Al. The devious a dinner circles the writer seems so concerned about must be getting pretty careless. Those who keep bellowing in favor of letters to the editor quotas and other special treatment should Stop whining and try taking advantage of americans Equality of Opportunity like Many other non Anglo nonwhite non male non protestant no right handed Etc., Etc., who have shown the drive and dedication. The Era of Jim Crow and suffragettes is dead and gone. Lets Stop concerning ourselves about who owes whom what privilege and move Forward together to make America great again. �?2nd la George Hale Baum older German Good guests Good hosts in reference to the specialist who wrote a no place like Home april 16my Only regret is that he is probably Back in the states sucking up a fast food Goodie and wont Ever see this. His letter accuses his former Host nationals of being insensitive and the country of being a accommodating and says that his lifestyle was being stifled. The operative word there is  perhaps if he were a better guest he might have had More Success with his hosts. Did he try to meet the germans Halfway did he try to speak to them in German did he live with them or did he hide out in his self imposed american ghetto and count the Days until he could get on the a Freedom Birds and return to the a a world if i had a narrow minded rude neighbor id give him the cold shoulder also. My wife returns to Naples the Day after tomorrow. She a been Tad temporary Active duty to the naval Hospital in Portsmouth va., for the past two weeks. When i spoke with her this morning she said a a in la be glad to get Back Home to  granted we volunteered to return to Naples and i speak italian but we be met some great folks As we did our first Tourand have had a tremendous time camping and hiking through Southern Italy and Sicily. Ill share our deep dark secret with you. Its a lot More fun to get out and enjoy yourself than it is to Stew about what you re missing out on Back Home. A senior chief Petty officer a. Coppola Naples ital change school Mascot the military prides itself on being a front runner in promoting Equality of races and fostering dignity for All cultures. In View of this i was somewhat surprised when i drove past the Dodds american High school in this area and saw in newly installed 2-foot-High letters on the front of the building Augsburg apaches. I am disappointed that the students in the school have not kept abreast of the times and demanded a change be made in their Choice of mascots. Stanford University started the practice years ago by no longer using a a indians As its Mascot and in the past few months other schools universities and sports teams have in the name of respect for our native americans ceased using such names As braves redskins comanches Etc. Augsburg High school has a Fine student body and a dedicated faculty. They need to join the �?T90s trend and change their Mascot and sack the sign. A Kim Wynant Augsburg Germany
