I know firsthand. I was born in Baltimore in 1964. I saw the rise of Jackie Robinson; and, we were taught well the contributions of black Americans alongside of white Americans in our classes.

Only he could save her; and, he did. he was lauded internationally as a hero, and EVERY Marylander was proud of this son of their state. And, there are many instances of such awesomeness in achievement.

In preschool, I had eye surgery. As my eyes healed, photos and my family's anecdotes show that I had a fast and steady playmate, She led me around, played and joked and conversed with me. She liked me. When my eyes healed we were unseperable playmates.

In this light, your article seems the words of a monster that seems to inflict pain on the future of innocents of all shades. Your article serves to de-evolve our society, and not to foster its objectives.

Our forefathers fought for the kind of equality we are clode to enjoying. Your words only serve to dissolve our excellence. Relent, relinquish, rethink and then -maybe- re-emerge; but, only when you can serve the greater good.

You have woven together an indictment that only serves divisiveness, and you negate the aspirations of the majority of Americans, white or otherwise that have stood against prejudice since before the civil war.

Main problem with your article is your emphasis on powers that projected negative stereotypes in mass media for a public -mostly white- that objected to them from the very fiber of their beings. You have not written on behalf of the common man, nor for the common American.

Why don't you write articles that heal the wounds that our free society has evolved to heal with its fundamental core philosophy that was wrought in 1775: "ALLL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL IN THE EYES OF THEIR CREATOR..."
