They list all manner of issues: protection of the environmental, education, housing, health care, judicial reform, and on and on. I have taken to writing across the entire page with a large magic marker in big block letters:

RACISM.

It is the root cause of all of the above. I am so tired of writing this, yet I keep getting this crap in the mail.

Racism is a worse than a sickness, it is an intentional hatred, a mental illness with these people. A pathology that screams a lack of intelligence. A truly depraved soul with no heart.

As a retired service member, I can tell you this -- there are no racists in a foxhole. So why does it exist in a peaceful society ?
