Letter - Lloyd 2-13

To the Editor:
This proves my point about the racism thing in the United States. The racism thing, in other words, where society points its finger at the white guy and says he is the one causing all the trouble, is a bunch of crap. Jessy Smallet was the black guy walking to his car and supposedly got attacked by a bunch of white guys. They beat him up, but a noose around his neck and whatever else, enough for the news people to call that a hate crime. And the news people talked about it for a week.
What about Nick Sandman, who was with a bunch of Catholic students at the Lincoln Memorial, and there were four black Hebrew Israelites, and, according to a computer, this is a hate group who walked over to some white guys and started yelling and calling them names. Hardcore names like white crackers and incest babies. In other words, causing trouble. Then an Indian walks over, gets in the middle of this and acts like he is there to calm things down.

When it was over everyone is quick to point at the white guys as the cause of the trouble. But it was not that way. The black guys walked over to the white guys and started the whole mess. Even the Indian said the white guys were the problem.
It’s just that the white guys did not back down.
And the things that gets me the most is the news people went on and on about the Jessy Smallet thing, but only had a few days about the white student thing. And they tried to hide the fact that it started with the black guys.
There was a holiday about three weeks ago that society talked about for a week. Let’s see how much time they give to our former presidents.
