Can't Touch This: Take responsibility for racism
May 4, 2008Imagine you have just been given the power to eradicate all racists from the face of the Earth, and you do just that. Congratulations. You have just eliminated the entire human race, including yourself. That was counterproductive, wasn't it? Racism is not something endemic to one specific population, nor does it manifest itself in the same way in different people. Black people, white people, Asian people, Hispanic people, Middle Eastern people G? all shades of humans harbor racist thoughts against one another. What defines a racist, however, is whether or not he or she acts on those racist thoughts. It is not an inherently bad thing to have these thoughts, but it is inherently bad to choose to let these thoughts decide your actions.

Your turn: Fascism not the way to run America
May 4, 2008I was extremely upset to read the letter promoting fascism in The Post on Friday. I realize that we live in a country where freedom of speech is a right to every citizen, but it should also be The Post's responsibility to think before they print. This love letter to fascist ideas was, simply put, nauseating. Especially considering that the letter was printed a day after Yom Ha'shoah, the Jewish day of remembrance for the Holocaust.
