INJUSTICE HAPPENS TO WHITE PEOPLE TOO

THERE ALWAYS will be conflict in the world as long as people have hatred and resentment toward one another. I am almost 40 years old and I understand why we can't live as one for all, for peace.

I am so angry at the May 3 letter ("Black people don't get equal justice"). Everywhere you go, it's always the blacks who are deprived and being treated unjustly. It happens to whites too!

A TV commercial for the Negro College Fund shows the little boy opening his piggy bank for his brother to go to college. My children can't go to college either. Whose white college fund will send my children?

I work hard to support my children. I have no help from Social Services. I'm proud of it; I'm trying.

There is white injustice, but who cares? There is no discrimination act for us.

Slavery came and went long before we came along. If people dwell on Bible days as they do on slavery days, how peaceful the world would be.

Are there two heavens - a black one and a white one? If we can't live together here, how can we die together? Are there two Gods? A black one and a white one? He could be purple - does it matter?

We are Americans, black and white. Grow up!
