Something to think about. 

From the Letters to the Editor of the Los Angeles Times. This was the headline letter printed in the paper on Tuesday, November 17.

Re “Trump’s L.A. has its say,” letters, Nov. 14

More than 70 million Americans voted for a racist’ On Nov. 14, the L.A. Times handed over its letters page to a selection of these People.

It’s understandable that most people may not be affected by racism, therefore it’s not one of their priorities. However, as a Black man living in this racist country, your vote, whether you consider yourself racist or not, is interpreted as condoning racism.

If you’re not a part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Racism is the No. 1 priority to many of the less fortunate who live under its malevolent hand, not that you care.
