Regarding the column “Charlottesville Repudiated – A Bad Day for Racists…” I must disagree.
When Dylann Roof slaughtered unarmed and unsuspecting people in it wasn’t a public relations demerit on his image.
When we see what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia, it was a bad day for
Civilization, not for racist — not for the image of racist fanatics. These barbarians have no consideration for what others think about anything.
They only want to maintain whtie power at all costs. Moral suasion is only effective with brothers and others who respect each other. Throwing empty words at bloody aggressors is not an option but an excuse for doing nothing.
