today's letter comes to us from the DSM register. can you guess what party the writer is?
i say he's republicon. it may not be 'racism' in its definitive form, but it's something equally as disturbing.
Regarding Susan J. Aden's April 2 letter, "At Roosevelt Vs. Dowling, Fans Went Too Far": Anyone who has watched sporting events has seen increasing amounts of inappropriate behavior.
I have witnessed parents being ejected from a second-grade basketball tournament, parents confronting coaches in the dugout of a 10-year-olds' baseball game, a high-school coach (as a "fan") yell at an opposing player during a free-throw attempt, parents confront parents in parking lots, police called in to assist, "fans" of a public school chant "What would Jesus do?" to the students of a Christian school when they fell behind, "fans" refer to opposing players as Satan, "fans" mocking those in religious orders, etc.
Aden states there is a problem in a society where racism is not even recognized. Perhaps it was not recognized in the situation she cited because it was not there.
Perhaps when people stop labeling everything as black or white, then they will stop seeing racism in every instance.
