(rlONTfUAL ST *a.) LONDON VIET PROTEST VICTORY FOR O R D E R - "Some were cKarged with possessing offensive weapons including a Tambourine, rqz.or blades,a sharpened mefalcomb, fireworks Tell it like it i s ! a n d a D e n ta l Probe."...... In his address last friday, to students of SGW U, Dr. James Luther Adam s of the Harvard Divinity School, developed a theory concerning civil disobedi­ ence in general, and attempted to apply it to black re­ bellions in northern urban areas in particular. His point about black violence causing repressive action on the part of the white power structure is well taken, but what he has not seemed to grasp is that there is little more that can be done in the direction of black suppression that has not already, been indelibly etched into the history of the black m an in America. Dr. Adams is right when he equates "systematic disobedience" to a total rejection of the legal system. What he did not include in his adress, however, is that legal codes can function effectively, only if EVERY­ ONE obeys them. The law in the United States, and elsewhere on this continent for that matter, is the whi­ te man's law. It always has been. The supreme laws of the United States, the U.S. Constitution, were con­ ceived by men who mouthed platitudes of equality, yet saw little wrong in slavery. The annals of American history are filled with testomony to the fact that law, in the United States, has meant persecution, if you hap­ pened to be born black. People like Dr. Adam s would do well to remember that when Hitler shovelled six million hum an beings into ovens w hat he w as doing w as LEGAL. It is this basic assumption that black people are not Americans and never have been that has permitted the advocates of black power to correctly judge their po­ sition within the context of the American social order. To people like Stokely Carmichael and H. Rap Brown, black power m eans that black sherrifs will end police brutality in the ghettoes, and that the taxes paid by Regular vicious bunch o' Revolutionaries you got hhere Sarge! blacks will be administered by them and used to pro­ vide civic services in black areas.
