Letter to the Editor

Editor:

Does racism exist in the U.S.? Yes, but there are many degrees of racism. Racism does not only exist in the U.S., it exists all over the world. It exists mostly in hearts with out God. When you look at racism, think how far we have come since the Civil War. Think how far we have come since the days of Jim Crow Law. We no longer have slavery. We no longer have restrooms marked women, men and colored. Blacks can come in the front door of a restaurant, instead of being served out the back door. When blacks get on the bus they can sit wherever they want, they no longer have to go to the back of the bus. Black and white people go places together, do things together; we have come so far that we (black and white) can even get married.

Are white people the only people who are racist? No, we have blacks who are racist against whites. I have noticed those who scream the most about racism, are the most racist. I know a lot of people who feel the same as I do, we don’t care what you look like, what matters is how you treat people.

Blacks are just as much to blame as whites for racism going on right now. I can’t count the times I have heard one black call another the “N” word. That is disrespectful. Respect is earned. If you can’t respectful to each other, then why would anyone else show you respect? Here is another one that irritates me, Afro-American. What is that? You were born in America. Your parents are American. How are you Afro-American? You are an American. In a country that is so great that you can be anything you want, please be proud that you are an American.

The people I see, who are screaming the most about racism are Democrats looking for the black vote, and lazy people that want a government hand out. Isn’t it racist to assume that if you are black that you are a Democrat? President Lincoln freed the slaves. Jim Crow Laws were imposed by white southern democrats, President Lyndon B. Johnson (D) got rid of the Jim Crow laws, President Obama (D) put Family Planning in walking distance from the most depressed black neighborhoods and funded abortions, so black people could kill their babies. President Trump (R) was the only president to fund black colleges. Trump also had more black people employed than any other president in history. Trump also supported legislation that would allow people to take children from a poor school and put them in better schools. Now President Biden, who says if you were not voting for him, you’re not black (racism) Biden who also said poor kids have just as much right to an education as white kids, again racist.

It’s racist to assume that all blacks and only blacks are poor.

Now we have Black Lives Matter (BLM) proud. If this group could be quiet for a minute and listen, they’d see that they’re screaming at the wrong people. 259,366 black babies are aborted every year. President Obama put $317 million of taxpayer money in to funding this. Obama (D) black president funded black women to kill black babies. If you include abortions, black on black killing per year are 297,925 in a single year. That brings the average percentage to 99.98%

BLM is upset about George Floyd’s death and wish to blame the police on scene for his passing. The thing is George Floyd didn’t care for his life; if he had he wouldn’t been hyped up on illegal drugs with a bad heart. The reason the police showed up was the fact that he went into a store and tired to pass of counterfeit money, which is illegal as well, by the way.

Sorry to break it to all you that support BLM, it doesn’t just happen to black people. It happens to all races. If you mess up, there are consequences.
