“Your article about William Raspberry’s review of Moore’s movie is right on target. Unfortunately, as I can tell you as a black person, Raspberry’s irrational views are shared by many black people. I’ve never seen so many people who I always respected and always considered to be intelligent say so many crazy things, “Bush is the same as Saddam.” “Saddam was not as bad as Bush.” “The U.S. is the worst country in the world to live in.” I kid you not. In the meantime, not one liberal or black person has anything to say about what Arabs are doing to black people in North and East African. The whole thing is very disturbing. Objections to Bush and the U.S. as a whole have gone way beyond any realistic criticsm of anything that is wrong. It’s just hatred and a wish for destruction, after which I guess we will all live in brotherhood under Muslim rule! I just listen to people. I’ve given up trying to discuss it. People become enraged and start telling me I’m a self hating black, Uncle Tom, etc.” – more feedback on the Letters Page.
