Hi. I was wanting to know whatever happened to the four students that had taken baseball bats down to the Battery and had broken out the windows of all the cars, um, along the Battery because the, uh of the preaching at the univ-- or at the College about the, um, ruthless capitalists or the fact that a year ago, on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, one of the biggest shopping days of the year, the College of Charleston students had taken the super glue and had, um, locked all the doors for the the shops of the downtown section on the busiest days of the year and some of the owners had to go ahead and knock out their front windows which would be, um, a loss to them but not as lo -- as great a loss as the um, the, um, the creating of new doors and in their for their businesses and then, um, the fact that now on some of the churches around it -- there that there is, um, a lot of graffiti on the walls of the church walls by the one by Grace Episcopal Church somebody wrote, um “Who,” um, “gives you the right to judge?” Well, the idea is not that “we people” have the right to judge but that God does and God would judge that vandalism on other people’s property probably is not a [TELEPHONE NOISE] a good idea.

Then Cleve Jones came to the campus, which the students paid for, which is kind of ironic because that was student fees and and some of the people are not gay and they don’t believe that, um, gays have a place in the community as a whole in the civil society because all civilizations that marked their demise it’s because of gays and homosexuality behavior. If you look at Sodom and Gomorrah, if you look at Rome, if you look at any civilization that has been through decadence or has self destructed it’s because of gay -- gays um, and promiscuity and decadence along those lines of immorality. So, my question is then, he came to campus and everybody had to pay for that - that’s interesting enough - and then all of a sudden look there’s a gay parade that that they want to enact, no less in North Charleston because the acceptance of a counterculture because of their last arts festival, um, over the holidays was marked by, um, a defiance against Americanism or traditional Americanism. It’s kind of a counterculture, which is kind of like anarchy, is it not against American people in general because of that fact that they want to take over something that doesn’t belong to them, that they want to justify the taking of something that isn’t theirs, is that not wrong?

MESSAGE 3 / 4

And if there’s a conspiracy to incite violence or belligerence or rebellion or revolt, then isn’t that worthy, uh, of a news article that talks about why it is that there is such a thing and why it is happening on the College of Charleston campus so readily and why it is that it marks kind of like what was in Chicago Tribune, I believe it was April the 21st of 1934, when there was a cartoon that said, “Let’s give away the everything that America has worked so hard for and that whose people have worked and let’s give it all away so that we can harm them, so that we can punish them, so that we can do them harm.” Isn’t that kind of what this is? Isn’t that that um where on the cartoon it says, um “Oh, let’s get some communist pinkie from Harvard or, um, um, some other large school, Ivy League school, to give it all away.” Well, my godmother, um, called me on Valentine’s Day and said that she no longer, even though she worked and her husband worked their whole lives for GM, they no longer have any stock, it was taken away from them, they no longer have any retirement, it was taken away from them, and even though that they worked their entire lives, they don’t have any health care benefits, it was taken away from them. By the president?

MESSAGE 4 / 4

As staff on campus, I can see that there’s a belligerence of defiance, um, anti-everything that’s American, kind of rebelliousness among the students and I can’t understand why, because I’m older, I lived through the sixties and seventies when I saw the same thing. Where our white church was bombed with a molotov cocktail from the African American part of East St. Louis and totally destroyed. Where, when we moved to New Jersey, I went to the School of the Arts in Philadelphia and when I would come out, there would be gangs with mo -- with machetes -- carrying knives down the streets threatening people that would walk the streets so we had to have close guards. And then, in addition to that, then, um, in Pennsauken, New Jersey, a little girl was of mine, in my neighborhood, because I, I was at one time free to ride my bicycle and go to the neighborhood park, but not after the incident where one of my neighbor girls was sliced and diced up on a teeter totter in the park. That was the defiance of the seventies. It was an uprising of black empowerment. It was of black, um, power. Of black planet. And black, um, panthers. And they not only intimidated people at the polls like they did this last election in Philadelphia, but in other ways.
