Though I understand your friends concern, do not let that stop you from coming here! Charlotte is a nice city with no big racial issues. We are really like a melting pot of cultures as so many people are here from somewhere else (not quite like New York City!, but still pretty good). There is a lot of talk in the media right now about racism and what has happened in Louisiana. Please know, the whole south is not like that, especially this city.
Also, though I can't specifically comment on clinics for sickle cell, I know there is at least one here. This is a large city, we offer every type of medical care you can imagine. And even if by some chance you can't find the exact care you are looking for, you would be just a few hours from Duke Medical Center - a place people come from all over the country to seek help.
