with or without the refugees.
The only valid excuse has
been registered by the resi
dents of Grier Heights. To
have a group of people moved
into your community without
your knowledge is reason to
complain. Even though the
settlement was probably expe
dited by not telling the resi
dents, they should have been
notified. Moreover, I think
that all of Charlotte should
.eventually share in the res
ponsibility of housing the re
fugees. Initially, however, it is
better for refugees and for
those responsible for refugees
to centralize all of them into
one area.
In closing let me say that I
find it quite disturbing for
Blacks to be humanistic about
minority issues only when the
minority in question is Black.
The success or failure of Black
rights is dependent upon the
success or failure of human
rights. By focusing only on
Black rights and ignoring
human rights will only serve
as a destructor to Black
rights.
