Letters to the Editor
Letters:The greatest error our “Founding Fathers” made when establishing our country was the ironic affirmation that “…all men are created equal…” while at the same time allowing for slavery to continue.
And, while the Constitution was amended to eliminate slavery after the Civil War ended, political effort during “reconstruction” fought to disenfranchise newly freed former slaves and to discriminate against them in ways that unfortunately still exist today in our society.It has often been said that, “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.
If discussion of racial problems in our country makes one uncomfortable, it should. Not necessarily out of guilt, but out of outrage that it had occurred and still occurs to this day. Our former president has famously used the mantra ‘make America great again” as the war cry of his political efforts. Instead, why not drop the “again” with the knowledge that the past was not so great for many; and, that our goal should be to “make America great” for everyone.
