Letter to the Editor....About Racism

  Dear Editor:

      First of all, I am a devoted reader of the Sierra Sentinel and I know you will post my letter where others may not..

   . I think its time we face something in our country.   When President Obama was first elected, I  was so naïve that I believed racism was really disappearing.

   Now I realize that not only was this NOT a sign of less racism, but I watched as every nearly every single racist across the country came out from "under their rocks " and organized.

   Then the economy dumped and the racists blamed the minorities for their being out of a job. Racism permeates every single part of a racists life; their jobs, their politics, their relationships.

   When the President was re-elected with an overwhelming majority, I saw that the educated, non-judgmental and accepting people far outnumber the vocal racists.

   Are you a racist? Think about it! If you have heard someone threaten the President of the United States and did not report it to authorities, you are also a racist.

   If you accept racial slurs and jokes and laugh or otherwise show that you accept this behavior, you are also a racist.

   When will we as a people become an overwhelmingly higher IQ society?  When will we bury this minority racist element back "under their rocks" where they belong?

   All right! I've ranted enough for a Sunday morning. I welcome comments from other readers.

   Ed in Arnold
