According to Sen. Ernie Chambers the "demog
css" and repellicons" (his labels for. the two major
political parties) are corrupt, greedy and racist
"Political parties as awhole are of no earthly good
to the people at large, but they are a God send to the
high ranking members and the functionaries," Cham
bers said Tuesday night. Chambers is registered as
an independent.. .'y--:

Party membership does not matter as long as
people see the need for changes in society, he said.
The Republican party is racist because they sup
port Reagan who practices racism, he said.
"Reagan-'Says, he is against affirmative action "
Chambers said, "meaning he is against black people
having jobs and keeping up to our ability."
Chambers said top party officials are the racists.
Party "peons" simply carry out instructions. - ,
The Democratic and Republican parties take the
same stand on race issues, Chambers said.
Republicans favor the rich, despise the poor and
support the system "because if you go broke then the
government will bail you out like it did the (Lee)
Iacocca," Chambers said. :
Throughout his speech he referred to the two
parties as the "demagogs" and the "repeilicans."
In general top black party members play token
roles, he said. The black members do not represent
the majority of blacks.
"It's like I were a slave on a plantation and I'm the
kind who has an in with the master so they give me
their hand-me-down clothes . . . and coll me a semi
strong boss. Then I can go out and tell ether slaves,
This system works. You just do like I do and you can
get up there and you be my ol boss.' " : X
