GENOCIDE AND BLACK ECOLOGY  
SINNETTE

in the advanced countries will need to rely less on our ecologically costly synthetics and more on goods produced from natural products (of) the now developing regions of the world." A nation which has brutalized millions of Asian peasants, oppresses its own minorities, and creates untold waste and pollution in its frenzied search for profits, seems hardly qualified to provide moral leadership to the rest of the world; particularly in matters pertaining to the well-being of humanity.

Behind a smokescreen of jargon, the educational and medical Establishments have sought to shift the responsibility of teaching from educators into an ill-defined area of medical therapeutics. With reckless abandon and as part of another wish fulfilling prophecy, black youngsters are labeled for life as being beyond the pale of intellectual achievement. 

It is the ambiguity of the term, "minimal brain dysfunction" that has led Dr. Thomas Twitchell of the Department of Neurology at Tufts University School of Medicine to take issue with its use. Reviewing a new book on the subject of minimal brain dysfunction in
