Violence
erupts in
LA. after
acquittals

By LINDA DEUTSCH
Associated Press

SlMl VALLEY. Calif. — Four
white Los Angeles police officers
were acquitted of all but one assault
charge yesterday in the videotaped
beating of black motorist Rodney
King. A mistrial was declared on
one count.

The verdicts. in the seventh day
of deliberations. came after a year
of political uproar sparked by the
graphic videotape of a black mm]
being beaten by white officers. de-
nounced in many quarters as brutal-
ity. 'l’he backlash brought down the
l.os Angelcs police chief.

Violence. including looting zuid
fires. broke out on Los Angeles‘
largely black south side a few hours
alter the verdict. As the violence
spread across the residential turd
business area. Mayor Tom Bradley

"My client and l are just out-
raged." King‘s lawyer. Steve Ler-
mati. said after the verdict. “it sends
a bad message. It says it‘s OK to go
ahead and beat somebody when
they‘re down and kick the crap out
of them."

(‘hief Daryl Gates. who was pres.
sured to resign after the beating. de-
clined to comment directly on the
verdict.

“I do not think there are any win-
ners at all in this situation.“ (iales
told reporters. “I’m hopeful that
this department will go forward.“

l.os Angcles Mayor Tom Bradley
blasted the jury‘s decision.

"'l'oday. the system failed us." he
said, "Today. this jury told the
world what we all saw with our
own eyes wasn‘t a crime. ’l‘oday.
that jury asked us to accept the
senseless and brutal beating of a

President Btisli. at a state dinner

Frank X. Walker had to escape to

couldn't travel by the “safe routes"
once used by black slaves seeking
freedom of geography, Walker
sought a different. but equally diffi-
cult. kind of freedom.

tlte spirit of a black male living in
white America

“The harsh realities that come
with being black. tutd male iii this
society. encourages a lot of brothers
to give up. or walk otit in front of
buses. Writing quite siittply keeps
me on the curb." w rote Walker in
My Brotheri Keeper. an anthology
of poetry just published this year.

Walker is one of 12 new black
male voices featured in the unique
volume published by the University
of California at Berkeley. The an-
thology serves a special purpose: to
“deconstruct the monolithic view of
the blackman“ zuid to reinterpret
their roles as “native sons."

1n the case of My Brothers Keep-
er. the poets redefine their "son—
ship" in terms of their individual ex-
perience: as gay soits. incarcerated

sorts. forgotten sons. prodigal sotts.

It would be hard to overestimate

the difficulty of “staying on the
curb“ for black Americiuis who are
rapidly losing hope. As crime rates
rise. inner cities crumble. drug use
increases and black-oii-black crime
reaches alarming highs. being black
in America is risky business. The
verdict in the Rodney Kitig beating
case is just one example.
Recent statistics in Newsweek paint
a bleak picture: ()ver 43 percent of
black children live iii poverty and
homicide is the leading cause of
death for black males aged 15 to
34. There are more black men in
prison than there are iii college. As
some social theorists and black
spokespeople ltave wanted. black
males tiiay be fast becoming an
“endangered species."

“1f these things continue at this
rate.“ Walker said. “the black man
\\ ill be endangered."

“It‘s a self—fulfilling prophecy."
Walker added. “If they don't tltink
they‘ll be around in 20 years. then
they‘ll start taking themselves out.

Memorial Coliseum. “We don't
have to worry about the Klan or
some racists killing us anymore be-
cause we‘re doing that ourselves."

“That‘s the power of racism."
Lee said. “It makes you wiuit to
hate yourself."

Despite the grim outlook. Walker
remains hopeful.

"You have to take it in context."
he said. “There are many successful

“Guniey was probably the most
instrumental faculty member that
encouraged me to write," Walker
said.

“It doesn‘t surprise tne at all,"
Norman said of Walker, “that his
poetry is appearing in a national an-
thology. 1 would have predicted ex-
actly this eight or 10 years ago
when he was my writing student."

“There were some great teachers
here." Walker added, “that could
teach me a lot about my craft. But
they couldn‘t address my experi-
ence.

“They have always showcased
the best of Appalachia. I looked it
up in the dictionary and found out I

"1 diink if there‘s anything hard
about being a black man its people
making assumptions about you, pre-

“It's disarming sometimes to

“For me. it's therapy. There’s
something about taking a problem
and working it out on paper. It
makes it tangible." Walker said.

“I can identify very closely with a
lot of his poetry." said Chester
Grundy. director of UK‘s Office for
Minority Student Affairs and a
friend of Walker‘s since his student
days.

“He‘s very personal and very col-

By ERNEST L. WRENTMORE
Staff Writer

LOUISVILLE, Ky. —— Technolo-
gy was on the verge of completing
his final warm-up lap. His breath
was the only sound that permeated
the morning silence and it was a
thick. heavy breath. But it was clear
enough that his snorting sound
could be heard as his hoofs tapped
rhythmically across the chewed up
track at Churchill Downs.

Sonny Hines. Technology‘s train-
er. smiled and said: “That‘s just
where he should be right now. He's
rutming very well. I just hope he
can keep it up for another week."

For Technology. or any other
American horse to end up in the
winner's circle at Churchill instead
of the French-based Arazi. rutming
well might not be enough. A.P.
Indy. Pine Bluff and Technology
are considered to be in the brides—
maid portion in the 118th Kentucky
Derby. Although all three horses
have legitimate chances to upset
heavily favored Arazi, they aren‘t in
the same echelon of trainer Francois
Boutin‘s thoroughbred.

“You can put Arazi over here on
a level by himself and then a few of
the Amcnctm horses over here on

another level.“ said Randy Moss.
who covers horse racing for The
Dallas Morning News. “When he is
on like we saw in last year‘s Breed-
er‘s Cup. very few horses could
beat him."

Arazi decimated the field at the
Breeder‘s Cup Juvenile as a two-
year old. and his performance in
that race is the main reason why
many who cover the sport believe
he is invincible.

However, Hines said he wouldn‘t
believe Arazi won the Derby until
he did win it.

“He‘s going to have to prove it to
me," Hines said. “We all know
what a good horse he is. but he
hasn‘t won the Derby yet."

Technology stood under the water
while he was being washed. His
muscles were taut and his veins stri-
ated. liven after a hard moming
workout. he wasn‘t tired — he was

testy. He pumped out a couple of

back kicks that made his groom-
sman jump back and delighted
Hines.

“(lo ahead." Hines said. "He‘s
not going to kick you."

Jerry Bailey. who rode Hansel to
two-thirds of the Triple (‘rown in
19‘”. will take the mount on Tech—
nology and attempt to channel his

 

mare‘s energy towards the roses.
Controversy surrounded which
horse Bailey would ride because he
rode Pine Bluff into the winner‘s
circle in the Arkansas Derby.

Tom Bohannon. who trains Pine
Bluff, said he was unhappy with
Bailey because Bohannon said Bai-
ley already had promised to ride
Pine Bluff in the Kentucky Derby.

“Bob Frieze. Jerry‘s agent, had
made a conunitment to us that if
this horse ran good in the Arkansas
Derby. he'd ride him in the Ken-
tucky Derby.“ Bohannon said.
“Right after the Arkansas Derby, he
didn't remember making the corn-
mitment that he made to both tne
and my owner. So we decided not
to wait. and we went and got a top
rider."

Craig Perret will ride Pine Bluff.
Perret didn‘t participate in the [WI
Derby. but he rode Unbridled to vic-
tory in I990. Perret has ridden Pine
Bluff in seven of the mare‘s nine
starts.

Technology is the Florida Derby
winner. cruising to victory over
Blue Grass Stakes winner and an-
other American-based horse. Pistols
and Roses. Bailey has ridden Tech-
nology to victory in each of the
three times he has raced him.

“Jerry has done a great job with
him." Hines said. “He's definitely
the best jockey I could get right
now."

Bailey was encouraged by Tech-
nology‘s chances because of the
way the tnare won the Florida Der-
by.

“He‘s got the proper amount of
races and he‘s got seasoning
around two tums against sotne of
the best horses in the East." Bailey
said. “He‘s coming off a tiring
track at Caldar. and I think that is
going to help him here. You just
don‘t realize how demanding that
new surface was at Caldar.“

The one aspect of the race Hines
is counting on is that l9 other hors-
es in the Derby besides Arazi will
be running. He said many owners
are giving their horses 21 better
chance to win than they are saying.
that's why there will be 20 horses
in the race for the first time since
I984 when Swale won.

“If we had five favorites. we
wouldn‘t have such a big favorite
in the field because there would be
too many good horses to beat."
Hines said. “With only one favorite
in Arazi. a lot (of owners) they can
beat him."

Technology best bet of other horses in 118th Derby

LOUISVILLE. Ky. — Arazi is
getting better. his handlers say.
and that makes him more than
just a super horse.

“He‘s incredible,“ said Fabien
Gerard. assistant to trainer Fran-
cois Boutin. “He's grown now.
He's better. He's matured."

Arazi. the French-based-win-
ner of the Breeders‘ Cup Juve-
nile last Nov. 2. moved over to
the main stable area at Churchill
Downs Tuesday after spending
Monday in quarantine.

He cantered one mile under
exercise rider Raymond l.zunor-
naca. turd Gerard said Arazi‘s
schedule for the rest of the week
would be determined by Boutin
when he takes over training to-
day.

Tuesday was more like picture
day at Ytutkee Stadium than like

 

Arazi getting better,
moved to main stable

a real workout. liverywhere Ara-
zi went. he was surrounded by
reporters. photographers and on-
lookers. While Arazi was graz-
ing, Lamomaca tunied him this
way and that for better camera
angles. then led him away to his
stall.

“He has the gift of being real-
ly relaxed all the time.“ Gerard
said.

On Saturday. Arazi almost
certainly will go off the favorite
in the I l/4-mile Kentucky Der-
by. So much has been written
turd said about Arazi. it was only
natural to ask his handlers what
they thought of the rest of the
field.

"It‘s difficult to say at this
point.“ (lerard said. “They have
the advzuttage of being at home
on dirt. but Ara/i proved himself
last year."

missed more than I5 home basket-
ball games since 1948.

“Whatever is in season. that‘s
what I follow." Hall said.

Despite his penchant for UK
sports. Hall. who was bom in Chat-

Instead. he czune to Lexington
when he was transferred frotn his
iob at Southeni Railroad in I946.
He equates the memory of moving

“I always said that myself and
(former UK football coach Paul)
‘Bear' Bryant came here at the
same time.“ he said. ”That‘s my
only claitn to fame."

Hall fell in love with Wildcat
sports after moving to Lexington
because he said there was nothing
like it around when he was a child.

As a youth, Hall loved baseball.

He played for an American Legion
club in 'I‘ennessee before he lost his
right leg in an automobile accident.

But despite that the serious injury
prevented him frotn ever playing
sports competitively again. he man-

his catastrophe. which happened
during World War II.

of a way to beat the draft." he said.

Now the only battles Hall lights
may be boredom. As you might ex—
pect, slaving over a smoking grill
for hours is not a very glamorous
job. During a recent Bat Cats dou-
bleheader against Florida, Hall‘s
shift at Shively field began at 11:30
am. and didn‘t finish until the end
of the games that night —at 9:30.

“It can get a little boring some-
times." he said.

"I get to see so mzmy people I
