Young Black entertainers are becoming superficial role models for our youth. Entertainers have captivated the young with their fancy foot- work, outlandish attire and wise cracks and taken our young minds to fantasy island. In recent months, the Michael Jackson and Eddie Murphy 7 klones have surfaced across America and to other lands. Children are driving parents crazy to eat, drink, dance and even dress like entertainers. It is really sad that our youth are being exposed to a world that the majority of them will never live in or come close to living in. On Wednesday,Dr. L. Vic Hackley, the honors convocation speaker, said there is a misconception that anybody can go to col- lege, anybody can graduate and anybody can do well; the same goes for the entertainment world. Everyone wants to be a shin- ing star

On the other hand. I agree with Barnes, that color is superficial-it's on the surface And, admittedly, it would be nice if one's skin color were irrelevant when he, say, ap- plied for a job, sought career advancement, or, at one time in history, attempted to use public facilities. But it is irrelevant and very .significant. The fact that this country ia run by senile, sex- ist and bigoted warmonger is very significant; the fact that there exists a federally funded U.S. Commission that ad- vocated and seeks to enforce the civil rights of white males is very significant. The double- digit percentage figure for

Black umemployment (16-is per cent) in this country, which clearly shows that Blacks remain untouched by an economic recovery, is very significant This is the real world, and Blacks can ill afford to subscribe to delusions and illu- sions about race and racism Racism is as pervasive today as never before, for it is rampant yet subtle and often difficult to discern

If he has never known, then he needs to learn and never forget DRINKING BEER IS IIKE Personally, I despair to.

This country and the fate of Blacks is doomed when Blacks spew inanities like "the fact that I'm Black is no big deal." Skin color may possibly be looked upon as superficial - in the 21st century or later, but not in this lifetime, not when Black women must only possess physical features similar to Jayne Kennedy, Vanessa Williams or Jennifer Beals before they are con- sidered beautiful.
