Letters
Regarding the letter "Greedy, Rich, White" by Barry and Phyllis of Normal Heights, this is a perfect example of liberal-left hypocrisy, pseudo-intellectual pretension, and ingratitude. Going on the basis of a single, one-sided book, they have decided that America is nothing more than the genocidal creation of greedy, rich white males. They then proceed (without a hint of awareness of the irony) to quote one of those white males -- a U.S. military general, Republican, and former president of this "genocidal" country, no less -- with great admiration. Here's a suggestion to Barry and Phyllis. Since you note that this land was stolen from Native Americans, you should pack your bags and leave -- after emptying your bank accounts and giving the proceeds to one of our Native American tribes. But no, you intend to spend your retirement reading, listening to music, and hanging out with people just like you. I shouldn't even have to say this to supposedly educated people like yourselves, but here goes: All nations, races, etc., have oppressed other people, taken land and property from them, etc. When America had slavery, so did the rest of the world. Slavery has been practiced not just by whites, but by all races. What makes America unique is that it is the one country in the world that all races and classes of people have sought out as a place both of refuge and of opportunity. Your hatred of America is sad, no doubt the result of following fads instead of truly educating yourselves. How does that saying go? The only thing worse than a fool is an old fool. My, how many old fools we have in this society -- stirring up racist hatred against their own grandchildren (assuming Barry and Phyllis are the self-loathing whites I suspect they are...)— July 16, 2010 12:24 a.m.
