Black Jesse Helms One of the year's biggest political surprises came in Tuesday's North Carolina Republican primary, when black City Councilman Vernon Robinson of Winston-Salem finished first in the primary for a heavily Republican district's congressional seat. ''Jesse Helms is Back. This Time, He's Black'' was the title of a critical editorial in the Winston-Salem Journal, but Robinson has used it as his slogan. One of his radio ads called on African Americans to ''stay in school, speak English and get a job.'' Another ad attacked illegal immigrants, contending ''they commit crimes but won't commit to learn our language.'' Robinson will run against state Sen. Virginia Foxx in the Aug. 17 runoff. The heavy favorite, businessman Ed Broyhill (son of former Sen. James Broyhill), finished third in the primary. The House seat is being vacated by Rep. Richard Burr, the nominee for the Senate.
