This letter is in reference to the article in the Feb. 2, 1990 issue of the Collegian by Chino Wilson. Mr. Wilson made a couple of valid points in his argument. They are:

-- "Racism is alive and well" (an interesting choice of words) in the United States.

-- Not all white people are racist. A very small number are involved.

I agree with Mr. Wilson that racism is still a huge problem in the United States. Both the Bensonhurst and "Stuartgate" cases are prime examples of racial hatred in our society.

The second point that not all whites are racist is quite true, but too many incidents of racial violence occur in the United States to say that only a small number of whites in fact are racists. Some people simply don't express their hatred as openly as others.

It is this point in Mr. Wilson's argument that I cease to agree with him. Mr. Wilson, in reference to your claims that the U.S. government has been plotting "to kill all African-Americans," I would have to say that you should seriously come back to reality.

I don't pretend to understand how African-Americans feel as a people who have been enslaved and discriminated against for centuries in this country. But I believe your assertions about the government "plot" are no more than paranoid delusions from a racist.

That's right. I called you a racist, Chino Wilson. Your hatred for white people comes through loud and clear in statements such as: "If anyone should be sending out bombs, it should be us."

To whom would you like to be sending bombs? Who is "us?"

First of all, if violence is your idea of the solution to any problem, then you are part of the problem. Violence only breeds more violence and hatred.

Does that sound familiar, Chino? Does the name Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. sound familiar? How about Desmond Tutu? You say you are willing to "make violence the rule and not the exception." Would Dr. King have said something like that? I don't think so.

Finally, who is this "us" that should be sending out bombs? I get the impression from Mr. Wilson that it is African-Americans. To whom should the bombs be sent? White people in general? What about those who aren't racist that you wrote of?

I would think that you'd want "them" to join you in the collective struggle so that, in your words, "our African-American women and children can live without fear on the planet."

I would like to think that the majority of African-Americans (at Penn State and across the United States) disagree with you, Mr. Wilson, on this issue. I also think that you should not have appointed yourself spokesperson for African-Americans because I think you did a very poor job in the Feb. 2 (column).
