EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA'S MINORITY VOICE - SINCE 1987 — #1 Von Minority Contractors Outraged At Supreme Court’s 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. “This is an issue that threatens us and yes, I'm mad as hell, I’m furious and I’m really disgusted,” said former U.S. Rep. Parren Mitchell who now chairs the Mi- nority Business Enterprise Legal Defense and Education Fund (MBELDEPF). “We find the courts’ decision to review Adarand alarming because it is a construction, industry case,” Mitchell said. “There 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’s 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 “maximum 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. “The 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. “By the year’s 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. “Five 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’ Chairman Kweisi Mfume. “We at the NAACP have always viewed economic opportu- nity as the cutting edge of the 21st century,” Henderson said. “It is a challenge to the ability of Congress to speak to the redress of discrimination,” the, civil rights leader noted. “Yet, 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 “an 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 “friend 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.

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.

The only materials the boys will be allowed to read are reli- gious materials. 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’t 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 “rehabili- tate” them. What is prison or jail?

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, “It (banishment) will be a lot better than going to prison and being some guy's girlfriend.” He went on to say, “The 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. Be Sure To Vote Tuesday, November 8 d vss It’s just a broken arm.

Of course, there are a lot of people who say we don’t belong together. Professional politicians, party hacks, and political pundits maintain that our interests are too divergent and our agendas mutually exclusive. Democratic li warn us that the white independents are “racist.” Republican Party conservatives warn the white center that the Black community is too “militant.” But they miss the point.

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 “safety net” for many, the prevailing policy is one which keeps the poor barely suspended above total destitution, rather than creating ways out of the “safety 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’ lives. But to make that possible an entirely new environment, a “de- 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’s needed to stimu- late overall economic growth and social redevelopment—to improve education, create jobs and provide entrepreneurial opportunities so that our people don’t 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 quo. But there are political solu- tions to the crisis of government. Government must be completely and democratically overhauled as a precondition for curing our so- cial ills.

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’s 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’s plan include? Answer: 1. God’s plan includes sincerity, honesty, truth . God’s plan includes self-con- trol. Did you get through the week without “blowing up”? 3. God’s plan includes clean talk. Did you lapse into any “corrupt communication? 4. God’s plan includes wholesome thinking. Are you ashamed of any of your thoughts? 5. God’s 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’s plan in- cludes humility. Are you happy when someone gets ahead of you? 8. God’s plan includes sacrifice, self-denial. What did you do with- out last week for the sake of some good cause? 9. God’s plan includes doing good to your enemies. Did you manage that? Don’t stop now. List some other things that you know are included in God's plan for you. Thought: “Any life lived by God’s 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’s 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: “Keep climbing”. “To get some people to follow the straight and narrow path, stop giv- ing them advice and start leading the way”. 0.
