SUPPORTERS of Wagga's African refugee community have become the target of "hate-filled" mail and phone calls from individuals claiming to represent the right-wing Australia First Party.A fervent advocate of the region's African migrant community, David Fletcher this week was shocked when a piece of unsolicited mail, purporting to be from the party, was delivered to his Forest Hill home.Mr Fletcher, who has submitted several letters to The Daily Advertiser weighing into the debate surrounding an anonymous blog recently created by a Riverina Australia First Party supporter, said he was outraged by the contents of the letter.He said the writer had made outlandish claims about the IQ and hormone levels of individuals of African descent and also featured what he described as a "disgusting" caricature of an African man complete with the heading "African 'Refugees' Today, Gangsters & Drug Addled Welfare Parasites Tomorrow.""I'm not going to stand for it, it's disgusting, it really is," he said."I'm outraged for a lot of reasons."We have an African family out here at Forest Hill and their kids run around and are just happy little Aussie kids, kicking around a soccer ball with big smiles on their faces."It's frightening, particularly for the children, what they might face and where it might lead I don't know."Mr Fletcher said he was completely supportive of debate on the issue of sustainable immigration, however would prefer those who opposed his views to have the courage to be named and own their opinions."I don't have a problem if they are against migration as long as they have reasons that they can debate in a logical and rational way," he said."It's too easy to sell fear."It's harder for these people to show their faces and own their words, all they do is hide behind the cloak of anonymity."Mr Fletcher said he was aware that some Wagga residents may be wary, but that African families were ultimately just like any other Riverina family."I can understand people are a little bit fearful because they do look different," he said."A lot of the men are six foot four and are very dark-skinned, but if (people) stopped to invite them around for a barbecue they'd find out that they are just like us, they have the same problems and the same hopes."A member of Wagga's African population and at least two of the community's advocates have also received threatening phone calls.
