DALLAS, Texas -- Alben Tarty, spokesman for the Liberian Community Association of DFW told Breitbart Texas, "The CDC has the situation under control," he added, "we don't want to panic people unnecessarily," admitting that the local Liberian community has been shaken by the first reported case of Ebola in Dallas. Tarty is one of the community leaders rallying the families.
He told Breitbart Texas that tonight they intend to hold a community conference call to better inform and unite the approximately 10,000 strong Liberians who live across the Dallas Fort Worth area.
With the arrival of Ebola in Dallas, this is no longer a Liberian issue only. People can no longer be in denial about Ebola. The community at-large must come together to rid us of this virus," he told Breitbart Texas inferring that now, the "Ebola" community is not just Liberian anymore. "Ebola doesn't discriminate. It's going to affect everyone. It doesn't care if you are black or white, African, or American," he said.
Tarty was surprised that to see a case of Ebola "slipped through the cracks." He told Breitbart Texas, "everyone is carefully screened before leaving Liberia and re-screened before they are allowed to enter the United States."
Another reason for tonight's community phone call is to support the community as much as possible emotionally. Although he reported no incidences of any discrimination, Tarty remains vigilant that with the arrival of Ebola in the United States, this might trigger panic and misdirected outrage.

Gee, I didn’t think about that until I read this. LOL I didn’t know their community was dis-united.
I am outraged, but I am because Obama has allowed people in this country from hot zones.
So, what’s the problem? Just tell them to wear their pants down low and carry around a boom box blasting rap. They’ll pass for a local. < / sarcasm >
Who gives a crap what Liberians think? I don’t.
I’ve got some questions about why we have all these Liberian immigrants here in the first place.
Wasn’t Liberia founded as a place for blacks to escape to from American racism and oppression?
Notice it’s a conference call. They aren’t meeting in the school gym.

Wow... flashback. Anyone remember the arguments that homosexuals were making for not quarantining sodomites?
It was. So these folks came here of their own accord.
***Tarty was surprised that to see a case of Ebola “slipped through the cracks.” ***
I’m not. I’m pretty sure there are more out there that haven’t been made public yet.
Oh great...so the Liberians are coming together in groups and swapping spit.
Wonderful.
Liberian Community Association
The what? So they are not American?
Recent report is that Fearless Leaders home (?) state of Hawaii is also home to an Ebola victim.
One would think that the CDC could have been proactive, and sent out BOLO specific to places like Dallas which apparently have thousands of Liberians (or Sierra Leonians etc).
RE: the Ebola carrier
What is the status of the his Texas family? Are they Africans too? How long have they lived in the US? Are they employed? Are they a welfare family? Do they have a valid reason for living in the US? Two bits says all Liberian who are citizens (maybe non-citizens also) vote Democrat.
10,000 Liberians around Dallas? Great.
Now there is an all inclusive ebola community, isn’t that sweet?
I didn’t realize there were so many.
This is just like AIDS.
The affected demographic wanted to make sure that everyone was affected so that they would force them to care about the issue.
Let us not forget.
