‘Reverse racism'
I have a problem. On Aug. 14, an article ["NAACP: County losing
trust in officials"] was printed on the NAACP. The problem is that
the paper printed and quoted [Prince George's County NAACP
president June White] Dillard saying, "We had gotten out of our
redneck, blue-collar mentality."
I know that this statement was quoted, but in no way should white
people be defamed in this manner. If someone were to drop the
N-bomb, I am sure that it would not be printed in its full entirety. I
believe that it is wrong for anyone to be racist, and that anyone
would enable others to read and believe that that is OK. That is
called reverse racism. The Gazette prides itself that they do not
publish letters that are not libelous and that do not constitute a
personal act, but I guess that The Gazette has no problem quoting it.
