WHITES ONLY RACISTS, BLACK LAWMAKER SAYS

Jewish organizations are calling Rep. Gus Savage a bigot for his attacks on a pro-Israel lobbying group, but the black House member says the only racists are white.

Savage, D-Ill., held a news conference Thursday, insisting in advance on "non-belligerent" questions. He denied that his attacks on the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee for supporting his opponent in a recent primary election were anti-Semitic. And he declared: "Racism is white. There is no black racism."
