I agree with Mr. Henry Fowler concerning his letter “The lie of systemic racism.” I am tired of being expected to apologize for my whiteness as I had nothing to do with whatever race that I was born into same as the black race. For a race that has its own black caucus in Congress, black clubs and BLM, they sure do enjoy calling everyone else racist. I detest the title “African American” as not a one of them are from Africa. I would think it is demeaning to them as if I were in their shoes, I would wish to be known as “American.” I would not wish to be known as an African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, but just as an American from America. One should have pride in their individual heritage but how long could white individuals have their own exclusive clubs or white caucus in Congress before being called out for being racist?
It has been reported that under the Great Society, the brain child of LBJ, we have expended some $21T to fight poverty and improve the lives of people with hardly any success.
