Letter to the Editor
Racism response

In responding to Monica Frasier's column I first have to say I agree 100 percent! How clear it is to me now!! Monica can't be a racist, that privilege is only reserved for whites. Those darn whites they have all the privileges.

Well enough sarcasm for now, let's get down to brass tacks.

According to you Monica you don't meet the requirements to be a racist. Your arguments were very convincing and I do believe you. You're not a racist because you're bigoted. From the Oxford American dictionary bigoted is defined as being narrow-minded and intolerant. The simple fact that you divide the world up as black and white tells me that. So Monica what happens to Hispanics, Indians, Orientals, Jews. or are they all "whites" to you.

Here are a few quotes from your liberal minded column. "Can reverse racism exist? Yes, but more importantly, reverse racism cannot exist in the same magnitude as the racism imposed on blacks by whites."

So is your philosophy do unto whites as they have done unto us and it's OK because they do it more? Blacks "occupy jobs" while whites "control jobs", Sorry Monica I got a little carried away after all "no mention was made of hating white people."

Well Monica I have to thank you. You have really opened my eyes. You showed me how you condone racism and no matter how hard you try whites will always be there to pull the ladder out from under you. All this and no malice towards whites at all! Incredible!!

My only regret is that your 'liberal minded' column only appears every other Thursday. I guess I'll just have to go somewhere else to get some in-depth liberal minded writing to line my cat's litterbox.
