EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA'S MINORITY VOICE - SINCE 1987

1 Von

Minority Contractors Outraged
At Supreme Court Ts Action

by Alvin Peabody

The recent decision by the United
States Supreme Court to reopen
already settled civil rights mat-
ters through its review of the
Adarand V. Pena decision related
to federally-mandated women and
minority business programs, has
left numerous minority business
entrepreneurs outraged.

oThis is an issue that threatens
us and yes, I'm mad as hell, I Tm
furious and I Tm really disgusted, ?
said former U.S. Rep. Parren
Mitchell who now chairs the Mi-
nority Business Enterprise Legal
Defense and Education Fund
(MBELDEPF).

oWe find the courts T decision to
review Adarand alarming because
it is a construction, industry case, ?
Mitchell said. oThere are very
modest affirmative efforts involved
andin particular, because discrimi-
nation in this industry has been
recognized so often that federal
courts have deemed it a proper
subject for judicial notice. ?

Last Thursday, Parren led a
panel of Brick contractors on Capi-
tol Hill to denounce the Supreme
Court Ts decision to review the al-
ready settled civil rights matter.
At issue is the Adarand v. Pena
case, which the high court has
agreed to hear on appeal from a
lower court.

In its complaint, Adarand al-
leged that the use of race as a

factor in awarding federal procure-
ment contracts in Colorado, with-
out any findings of past discrimi-

- nation in the state, violated the

equal protection guarantees of the
Fifth and Fourteenth Amend-
ments,

According to Parren and other
minority supporters, the federal
Small Business Act provides that
the statutory authority for federal
agencies to develop and to estab-
lish certain utilization goals for
disadvantaged small businesses.
These goals must present the
omaximum practicable opportu-
nity ? for small business concerns,
including those owned and con-
trolled by socially and economi-
cally disadvantaged individuals ?
to participate in federal contracts.

But Adarand asserts that the
proper standards to be applied to
congressionally mandated pro-
grams can be found in the Croson
vs. City of Richmond case, which
was deliberated on in 1989. But
Black entrepreneurs do not hold
Croson in much regard.

oThe last time the Supreme
Court reviewed the constitution-
ality of minority of minority busi-
ness opportunity programs in
Croson, minority business pro-
grams in the state and local gov-
ernments were summarily dis-
mantled and hundreds of millions
of dollars in opportunity were de-
liberately and systematically de-

nied to our businesses, ? argued
Mitchell. To back up their claim,
minority contractors note that be-
fore Croson, there were over 230
minority business development
programs at the state and local
levels. But six months after the
Supreme Court decision, half of
these programs were either dis-
mantled, suspended or challenged.

oBy the year Ts end, they were
gone and with them vanished hun-
dreds of small and minority busi-
nesses, ? said Nigel Parkinson of
the National Association of Minor-
ity Contractors. oFive years since
Croson, we have with enormous
effort begun to recover. ? Joining
Parren and the minority contrac-
tors on Capitol Hill were NAACP
Washington, D.C. Director Wade
Henderson and Congressional
Black Caucus T Chairman Kweisi
Mfume. oWe at the NAACP have
always viewed economic opportu-
nity as the cutting edge of the 21st
century, ? Henderson said.

oIt is a challenge to the ability of
Congress to speak to the redress of
discrimination, ? the, civil rights
leader noted. oYet, we continue to
see an ever-widening gap between
the races when it comes to eco-
nomic development. ?

Mfume, who is chairman of the
House Minority Business and En-
terprise Subcommittee, described
the Supreme Court's decision to
review the Adarand case as oan
effort to undermine minority busi-
ness to do business in this coun-
try. ? He told the Capitol Hill gath-

a ering that his group will engage in

a series of public hearings and
meetings across the country, a let-
ter writing campaign, and will file
a ofriend of the court ? brief in sup-
port of the minority entrepreneurs.
The Supreme Court is expected
to begin review of the Adarand
case in late December or early
January, according to Mitchell.

Last year Tlingit Indian teenag-
ers severely beat and robbed a
pizza deliveryman in Everett,
Washington. Instead of going to
prison the teens will be sent for a
year to 18 months on unidentified,
uninhabited islands in Alaska.

Seems unusual, huh? Actually,
this case will mostlike go down in
history: ~This is the first time a
criminal case has beén referred by
a state court to a tribal panel for
punishment. According to the
tribal officials, Adrian Guthrie and
Simon Roberts will be banished to
unidentified, uninhabited islands.

Monday, September 5th Guthrie
and Roberts boarded a boat loaded
with only their bare essentials.
Four of the tribes elders will ac-
company the boys for a couple of
weeks, The elders will teach them

As for me, a young Afrikan-
American woman striving for self-
determination and trying to find
answers for the many problems
facing my community today. I
fouldn Tt help but-find this story
very interesting. First and fore-
most I know that Afrikan-Ameri-
cans must do for ourselves. We
must help ourselves. We must help
ourselves solve our own problems.
Rather than our problems being
solved by others outside of our
community. However, we may not
have all of the answers or solu-
tions all of the time. Sometimes we
may have to look at what someone

which best fit our agenda. In this
case, banishment. Before anyone
gets defensive or negative about
this solution, please hear me out
lrecognize the fact that Afrikan-
Americans exist as a nation with-
out land, so therefore it would be
very difficult for us to even have
enough clout to even get the oppor-
tunity to banish anyone. But, let

-us-look.at the possibilities. Think

about it. Many of our youth ar
hurting themselves and our com-
munities. Because we are not in
control of our lives we are left to
turn our youth over to our enemies
to discipline, punish or orehabili-

Well, fortunately ~until the.

and economic freedom I do not
foresee us banishing anyone. How-
ever, in the meantime it is vital for
our churches, community centers
and others organizations to come
together and take the responsibil-
ity to create programs which teach
respect and knowledge of self and
our relationship with the Creator.
Our elders must sympathize with
the complex problems that our
youth face today. Atthe sametime,
the youth must realize that as a
Nation we can no longer tolerate
their destructive action. When
such positive programs are strate-
gically incorporated into our daily
lives we might eliminate some of
the problems we now have in this
day and age.

The Tlingit youths were afraid
to go to prison. Roberts said, oIt
(banishment) will be a lot better
than going to prison and being
some guy's girlfriend. ? He went on
to say, oThe hardest people you
meet are in prison. ? .

Banishment is pretty much our
of the question right now for the
Afrikan-American nation. How-
ever, I guarantee that we would
all rest better ifonly we could send
our troubled youth off to silence
away from the societal noise. And
you know what? The hardest per-
son our troubled youth will meet is
the person looking back at them in
the mirror.

cents of every dollar spent on wel-
fare goes to the bureaucracy and

school is spent on ly-
ing with state regulations ied not
on educating our kids.

But even worse than being ,
bloated and wasteful, these bu- |
reaucracies are ineffective. The '
social ills they were designed to ;
redress have gotten worse, not ;
better. Funding for these programs |
has become the grist for a massive

litical patronage mill which al-
ows incumbent politicians of both
parties to create and sustain their
own power bases "to gs fpr)
football with the lives of our chil-
dren "while the conditions in our
communities worsen and the
economy declines. Although these
programs provide a osafety net ?
for many, the prevailing policy is
one which keeps the poor barely
suspended above total destitution,
rather than creating ways out of
the osafety net ? trap and into an
economically and socially develop-
ing society. We could "if we, the
people, instead of the politicians
and bureaucrats, made the deci-
sions "spend far less money on far
more creative and effective social
development programs. We could
both cut taxes and improve peoples T
lives. But to make that possible an
entirely new environment, a ode-
mocracy environment ? must he
created in which public and pri-
vate sector policy is more directly
shaped by the people of this coun-
try. That's what Ts needed to stimu-
late overall economic growth and
social redevelopment "to improve
education, create jobs and provide
entrepreneurial opportunities so
that our people don Tt have to de-
pendon unemployment insurance,
welfare, and food stamps to sur-
vive. There must be a dramatic
political restructuringin which the
corrupt incumbent machines are
tossed out of office and the full
democratization of primaries and
general elections brings the people
of the country much more directly
into the policy-making process.
Term limits, initiative and refer-
endum, recall, the elimination of
PACs, and ballot access reform
are key. It is now growing clear to
both the African American com-
munity and the white center that
there are no governmental solu-
tions to poverty, to the budget defi-
cit, to's ing taxes and to
violence in our streets as long as
the government remains status

someone turns away or shrinks ©
back from you, you may be invad-
ing her personal space. Take a
couple steps back until she feels
more comfortable.

2. Learn to oread ? facial expres-
sions.
a. Pursing the lips: disapproval
or concentration

b. Licking the lips: nervous-
ness

c. Biting the lips: self-reproach

d. Drawing the brows together:
anger, anxiety

e. Sticking the chin out: bellig-
erence

f.Keeping the eyes
down-insecurity, evasiveness

g. Staring with narrowed eyes:
a threat, a sign of aggression

h. Smiling: Ifit Ts genuine, a smile
involves the muscles around the
eyes; a fake smile never reaches

8. Learn to read common ges-
tures

a. Tapping the foot: nervous-

b. Biting the nails: an aggres-
sive action: she feels habitually

But you can even use it in the

Church Leaders

Question: How can leaders in
the church set examples of faith
for the membership?

Answer: The members of a
church need to see their leaders
act on their faith by boldly sup-
porting the Lord Ts work with their
time, energy,- and finances. When
a call is issued for prayer support-
ers, door-to-door callers, workers
for vacation Bible school, people to
assist with building and ground
maintenance, etc., leaders should
be prominent among the volun-
teers. Of course, leaders cannot do
all the work themselves,and so
they must recruit other workers.
But they must do enough of the
little jobs to demonstrate the will-
ingness, enthusiasm, and commit-
ment that should characterize each
worker.

Question: What does God Ts plan
include?

Answer:

1. God Ts plan includes sincerity,
honesty, truth

. God Ts plan includes self-con-
trol. Did you get through the week
without oblowing up ?? 3. God Ts plan
includes clean talk. Did you lapse
into any ocorrupt communication?
4. God Ts plan includes wholesome
thinking. Are you ashamed of any
of your thoughts? 5. God Ts plan
includes kindness, consideration,
compassion. How did you do with
those?

6. God's plan includes helpful-
ness. Did you go out of your way to
help someone? 7. God Ts plan in-
cludes humility. Are you happy
when someone gets ahead of you?
8. God Ts plan includes sacrifice,
self-denial. What did you do with-
out last week for the sake of some
good cause? 9. God Ts plan includes
doing good to your enemies. Did
you manage that?

Don Tt stop now. List some other
things that you know are included
in God's plan for you.

Thought: oAny life lived by God Ts
plan is a successful life ?.

Which Way?

Which way are you going? Think
of yourself as you were a year ago
and as you are now.

Are you taking better care of
yourself physically? What im-
provement have you made in diet,
exercise, habits of work, recreation
and rest? What improvements can
you make now?

Have yougrown mentally? What
important things have you
learned? What do you need to learn

Ifyou are married, are you more
attentive to your mate? Do you see
how you can do better?

How about your job? Are you
doing it better and more happily,
and improving your relationship
with fellow workers. Is there some
improvement you need to be plan-
ning? |

Has your praying become more
meaningful and more satisfying?
Do you need to give it more time
and more thought?

Are you finding Bible study more
helpful, and doing more of it? Could
you get more out of it if you would
put more in?

Have you taken any new respon-
sibility in the work of the church?
Do you think of one you can take
now?

Have you increased your contri-
bution to the Lord Ts work? You
know church expenses are going
up just as yours are.

You can think of other ways to
compare you as you are with you
as you were. Do you think you are
climbing up, staying still, or coast-
ing down? What will you do from
now on?

Thought: oKeep climbing ?.

oTo get some people to follow the
straight and narrow path, stop giv-
ing them advice and start leading
the way ?. 0. A, Batlista

OPEN LETTER TO CITIZENS DIS T

eee r

DEAR VOTERS: ;

I am a woman and a Republican running for County Commissioner
in District 3. I am challenging Tom Johnson, Sr. who currently holds
this seat. I have the experience, ability, and willingness to represent T
you.

The current Board of Commissioners is composed of nine male
Democrats. It is time for more diversity on this board. In a county as
large and as prosperous as Pitt, we need the accountability that comes
with healthy two-party system competition. That's what makes
democracy work in our great country.

Too many times incumbents go unchallenged. Until we start holding
our elected officials accountable by voting for the best person and not
the party, we will not have the quality representation we deserve.

I am asking for your support and your vote on November 8th.

| am at the point in life where I'd like to pay some of it back. The best way I know how to do that is to serve the interests

then | ask for your vote and support. ?

pound.

oWe were thrilled to see 30 many
people collecting tabs for us, ? says
Stephanie Barnard, public rela-
tions director. oHowever, we were
surprised and disappointed to see
the price of aluminum cut in half. ?

Meanwhile, the staff and volun-
teers at the House spent hours
consolidating tabs and takingthem
toa local recycling facility for nomi-
nal return. Often times their pop
tab collectors will spend $3-$4
mailing a box of tabs to them which

are worth about .30¢.

FOR THESE REASONS, THE
RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE
HAS DECIDED TO STOP AC-
CEPTING POP TABS, EFFEC-
TIVE NOVEMBER 1,1994.

If youor your organization would
like to continue saving pop tabs for
the RMH, please turn them in to
your local recycler. In Greenville,
you may turn them in to Glisson Ts
Enterprises on the Stokes High-
way (758-2538). Glisson Ts will for-
ward a check to the House for the
value of the tabs.

Instead of pop tabs, the
House requests that you col-
lect the bar code labels off of
Scott brand paper products for
them. These products include
any toilet paper, paper towels,
napkins or baby wipes with
the oScott ? name on them .
Cottonelle, Viva and Baby
Fresh brands are also included.

Scott Paper Company will do-
nate.10¢ to The Ronald McDonald
Rea for every label that they
oSLabels are much easier to col-

lect than pop tabs because they
are clean and can be mailed to us, ?
says Barnard.

Ifyour organization isinterested
in collecting labels for the RMH,
please mail them to Ronald
McDonald House, 549 Moye Bou-
levard, Greenville, N.C. 27834.

The Ronald McDonald House of T
Eastern North Carolina provides:
lodging or a ohome away from: .

ill children visiting the Children Ts |

Hospital in Greenville. The RMH
has served over 3000 families since

it opened in 1987.
