Re: 'All I really need to know about you' [Letter, Village News, 2/25/21]

I think John Terrell should re-read Julie Reeder's article, "An overview of last week's post-election court cases, hearings, affidavits, testimony, press conferences and rallies" on Dec. 10, 2020. Then do your research. Like I said, a mountain of evidence. Did your news channels even show the videos of suitcases full of ballots?

This is just a sample of the fraud committed and the theft of our Presidential election. If you've got state and federal courts that won't even look at the evidence then where the heck do we go from here?

If the U.S. Supreme Court pansies won't stand for the rule of law for fear of the country being burned to the ground then where do we go from here? Justice Roberts was overheard saying he was so afraid of the country being burned to the ground.

Then bring in the 25,000 troops wasting away right now in our Capitol and protect us like they should have been doing the last 10 months of rioting around the country. I bet those business and home owners would love to have some protection instead of watching their livelihoods burn to the ground.

If people like John Terrell only watch the fake news channels, ABC, CBS NBC, CNN, MSNBC and NPR then how do they ever get the real news? The truth about what is really happening to our country.

I've watched all your channels to make sure I wasn't missing something. Then I switched over to Fox News and Newsmax on the same night day after day. What a stark contrast to the truth. After some real investigation, I had to stop watching all the fake news channels. It turns my stomach.

You comment about we should all be equal under the law. Many laws already changed that. Does anyone remember Affirmative Action from the 1960s? It's the heart that needs to change and 99.99% of the American people have changed their hearts over the last 100 years. The .01% that are known white supremacist are barely measurable these days.

I suppose you think we are this racist nation and need to adhere to the insane critical race theory? It's all a smoke screen to divide the races and have a race war. Obama started this with his divisive speeches and it has been played out every day since!

Michael Brown did not have his hands up. He beat up the store manager where he was caught stealing. Then fought with a police officer for his gun and shot him!

George Floyd was high on fentanyl and overdosed. He said he couldn't breathe before he was put down on the ground. (I don't agree with the knee to the neck), but he was fighting with the police. Why not just comply? Because he was high on drugs!

Breonna Taylor was killed because her criminal boyfriend was shooting at the police after announcing themselves several times. Need I go on?

All of my friends, White, Black, Brown, Asian and Gay do not use racial slurs to identify each of us or others. It is time Black people stop using the N word to describe each other. It's time to stop calling White people honky, peckerwood, cracker, etc. That's has been acceptable by the racist crowd for many years now but should no longer be accepted.

Stop blaming the man for your troubles and make your own way in life with all the wonderful opportunities this nation has to offer. My Asian friends are now discriminated against because they came here and found great success! Now we put them in the same "privileged" class as whites.

My white friends are afraid to say anything for fear of being labeled racist when I know they are not. My black and brown friends just laugh at what idiots the white media jerks are, Hollywood and what the race baiting politicians are doing to this country.

God made each and every one of us in his likeness and image, so do not apologize for being any color! Feeding into the hysteria of White privilege is all I need to know about you. Proud of how far we have come, so now we need to stop the hate against White and Asian people.
