The rage jumps off the page as I read the recent letter to the editor from a man wondering whatâs happened to our country. I guess heâs at least aware of his rage since he states he is âtotally livid about the radical people in this country trying to destroy Americaâ¦â He states that Olympian Gwen Berry needs to go to another country and that Black Lives Matter hates our country. No wonder heâs so angry.
It seems impossible to speak to someone so consumed by rage. I too am white, hard-working (first job at age 14) although I am a woman so I have had less white privilege than the letter writer but still, I had the luxury of white privilege during my lifetime. It is time for all of us to have this conversation as difficult as it is.
