I?THE CAROLINA TIMES Saturday, June 10, 1972
A FBy JOHN HUDGINS
Too many responsibleNegroes and misled Blackpeople are probably upsetabout the May 29th shootingin Raleigh. Some of thesepeople were upset because theyeither love or respect B. Everett
Jordan. Others are probablyembarrassed and/or scared be-cause the Man with the gunwas Black.
My first and only reactionwas one of disappointment be-cause he missed the racistscoundrel. While I respectGeorge Wallace as a symbol ofother White people in thiscountry my reaction was vir-tuall) the same. History shall
regret the life of these trampsand people like them.
Of course there is some
question as to whether or not
the brother was actually shoot-ing at Jordan, we can onlyhope he was. The racist medialias already begun its attemptto make the act look like thework of a maniac of some kind.1 Mould suggest that any Blackman who carefully selects a
prestigious shopping center to
make his peace with the worldis perfectly sane. 1 contendthat the society perpetuated byracists like Jordan, Wallace,Muskie, and Humphrey, iswhere we should look to under-
stand what happened on Mem-orial day. May 29th.
The fact of the matter, allshootings of this kind have to
be political, either directly or
indirectly. We as Black peoplecannot afford to be taken in b\the propaganda of the mediawhen it attributes all assassina-
made a profit selling him theguns.
If we are to be realistic we
can only see the above events
as part of the political realityof this country. The peoplewho shot Malcolm and Martin
were not crazy, but rather,paid professional killers.
When a brother takes hisown life in an attempt to makea mark upon the racist op-pression o( this country, we
must honor his memory and
try to understand and appre-ciate his commitment to hi6people. History has shownthat those who would be freeusually pay for their freedomwith life, life of the oppressorand often life of the oppressed.As for those of you who tfelkabout innocent bystanders,there were none. Life must belooked at in its reality. In thisworld there are no spectatorsin this age of change. You are
either part of the solution or
part of the problem. Witnesswhite logic, I would have calledthe four little sisters in thatchurch in Alabama innocent,but the people who killed themobviously did not. So be itwith May 29th.
White folks are going to
find some way to call BrotherMcLeod crazy, just wait, theywill. The reason is quite simple.White people don't believe inBlack MEN, that's why theycall us boys. Only a man could
do something as powerful, asassertive, and as dangerous as
Brother McLeod dM May 29th.Since he was Black and whitefolks don't believe in BlackMen, he had to be a Black Boygone crazy. We must thinkdifferently. Remember theycalled Nat Turner, John Brown,Ahmed Evans, Robert Williams,crazy. I don't think they were,
in fact the insanity might be inus who still hesitate to go thisextra step for freedom.
Brother McLeod, and I saybrother because he was, hewho fights my enemies has to
be my Brother. Surely ourGod smiles upon this act ofcommitment, and resistance.God Bless you Brother McLeod.In the spirit of our ancestors,
Freedom. FREEDOM!
tion attempts to insanity or
something else. People do not
become insane o\ernight and«o out and decide to shoot a
racist. There was no statement
of insanity on the part ofklunsmen who killed Black!>? >|ile. nor are racist policemen< >ll' d insane. Ifeither BrotherNlii. od. or Brewer who shotWallace had been insane theywould not have been able to
carefully plan and execute thefeats that we have witnessed. Acrazx man would have shot hismother or the first thing thatmoved, like the exploiters who

Water, Water Everywhere, in BerlinMany of them are more than 100 years old and mere cu-
riosities to the casual visitor, but West Berlin still has
760 of these antique street water pumps that in the pastwere used also to water the sturdy horses that hauledBerlin's first trolley cars. Now they may provide an oc-casional cooling drink on a summer's day or serve as aconvenient car-wash at thecurbside.
If these, pumps remain partof the Berlin scene, it isbecause each of them hasits own source of well water,independent of municipalfacilities; and this gives
them a potentially indis-pensable role to play incase of any disruption ofthe city's regular watersupply.
Thus, far from being con-sidered relics of the past,
Berlin's existing 760 pumpsare kept in perfect workingcondition, and are evenbeing increased, gradually,to about 1,000: that wouldmean at least one pump forevery 2,000 of West Berlin's2.1-million residents to usein case of emergency. Thisis a continuing, costly, andslow Droiect, since drillings

Existing pumps are relocated only when their privatesource of well water dries up, or if they can be blended togreater advantage into more artistic surroundings else-where. In rare instances where any of Berlin's pumps arejudged ready for retirement, they are extremely popularwith bidders at public auctions who snap them up to dec-orate their gardens.
