The following letter was submitted to us today from an anonymous reader: (Not the commenter named Anonymous, but an anonymous submitter.)
I have never lived in such a racist town. I have been called names that are very derogatory and I cannot tell you on how many occasions I have been called a name referring to my race. Now, I can deal with it. But when it comes to my child being shunned at school because of her race, well, that’s a whole different issue. My child has been told by other students that she cannot stand in the shade because of her race. When I have to explain to my child what a “honkey” is, I tend to get upset. These are children, seven and eight year olds. We do not know racism in my house, why is she being exposed to it? Does the school system do anything about racism? Of course not. It is tolerated.
The definition of racism is hatred of another race. That’s right I said RACE. I did not say Jews, African Americans, Whites or Indians. I said RACE. I think sometimes people tend to forget the fact that racism is towards all races. I have never seen such racism in all of my life until I have moved here. No one should feel bad for their race. Not African American or Whites.
So, if the school board is not doing anything about it, what can WE do? It stops with our children. Educate them. Make them aware. Do not talk about other races in a manner that makes the children feel like they are superior due to their race. No one should ever have to explain to their children why they are being picked on because of their race. Let’s end this NOW. Let’s start with Vance County!
Sure racism exists in Vance County but it’s usually in the form of ‘reverse racism’. Too many wannabe pastors/preachers who claim to be of ‘the cloth’ are out spewwing nothing but venom and hatred for other human beings. How many times have you seen a wannabe pastor/preacher stand in front of a governing body and complain about the HPD? When the facts are brought to the table they run like thieves in the night until the next ‘helpless soul’ comes along waiting for the “rev. dr. doug” to save them from the ills of the HPD!!! I thought in order to be a pastor/preacher/reverend you had to go to some sort of school to learn the BIBLE and the ways of GOD? These guys run around claiming to be of the cloth when all they really are is a ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’!! I won’t name any particular names but if you are from the area you will know of whom I speak. Another wannabe pastor/rev. is notoriously in the news b/c of his family members lack of respect for the laws that govern. Needless to say, he always places blame either on the System or the HPD when they do get caught with there hands in the cookie jar. BLAME it on someone other the who the BLAME needs to be on is called ‘living a lie’! How would you like these 2 particular folks standing in front of your congregation?
Deception:
I have heard about a church like u have mentioned on many occasions. I do not remember the names though. I was told there was a church here in Henderson preaching racism toward whites. What a shame it is.
Have you gone to the principal of the school on this?
