Editor,

As if there aren’t enough problems to deal with in this country, the left is at it again finding racism where the isn’t any.

Thanks for your letter, Mr. Guttenbeil. Nowadays, the left has turned the word “racism” and “racist” into a common word with no real meaning. But, it does give us a glimpse into the person using it as an attack – easily triggered, more emotional than logical, not to be taken seriously… Another sad comment on society today.

That's correct...racism does not exist in any form in the U.S. today. Thanks for clarifying.

Easily triggered, more emotional than logical, not to be taken seriously? You surely are referring to the 45th president, Donald J. Trump.

Two for one…

I’m not sure I’d go that far, GE52, but if that’s how you feel… I commend you for owning it. So now that we’re colorblind in the U.S. we need to expand to infinity, and beyond…

SMTO_LOCAL, interesting proposition. Let’s analyze the comment from one who would make such a conclusion. Instead of reading the entire comment to understand context, they essentially are triggered by cherry-picked words they don’t like and then responding via emotion rather than logic. Due to this, they can’t be taken seriously. Another sad comment on society today.

I wish that racism did not exist in our nation today...I was being facetious.
