Editor,

Most media have given ample space to a certain demographic that keeps on hammering on racism and white privilege. It is time that these same media allow for a different perspective of this complicated but mostly biased reporting.

Agreed, Mr. van Ulden. We seem to be subjected to more lecturing than action from these NAACP representatives. Just today, we have yet another letter supporting these “representatives.” As usual, there are no solutions, just the usual gibberish about “systemic change.” I do note that in these three letters, no mention of the death and destruction wrought by BLM in our streets. As for police reform, maybe the Bay Area can be like Seattle, where almost 250 police officers have left their jobs as of last year. I wonder if people with so called “white privilege” are actually doing more for blacks than the NAACP.

The NAACP thinks that they have us on a roll but I believe the tide is turning. Especially galling is to see the ambulance chasers, who are now zilionaires, with crocodile tears crying all the way to the bank. They are just milking the system and are not doing squat to help the communities from whence the victim came.

It seems the NAACP would rather have an issue than solving the problem.

Hello, Dirk

Thanks for submitting an insightful letter in reaction to the guest perspective pieces focused on police and the use of lethal force associated with Blacks being killed.

Most Americans (about 75%) support voter IDs. Yet, the Biden administration suggests you are racist if you do.

Most Americans (over 80%) support a secure border, Yet, the Biden administration suggests you are racist if you do.

And I believe most Americans agree with Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) when he says, "America is not a racist country." So, coming full circle... I'm sure most Americans agree that there must be accountability whenever a police officer uses his or her service weapon in the line of duty. Is there anyone who thinks otherwise?
