Disagrees on writer’s racial view Suspicious of Saudi Arabia

I disagree with opinionwriterMelissa Crook (“Work together to end racial divisions,” Voices of Macomb Sept. 13) on several points. First is the notion of systemic racism. We had systemic racism during the slavery years and again during the Jim Crow years and yes there is still some racism out there but it is not even close to being systemic whichmeans built in as a deliberate policy.

Second is the claim that “...racism has only ever existed from white people against Black people (or any other persons of color).” Patently false. Racism can and has been practiced by other skin colors.

Third is the totally immoral notion that children must be made to atone for the sins of their ancestors. This is the selling of an unearned guilt, something no person should promote or accept.

Fourth and last, Ms Crook claims “Critical Race Theory tells us that racism is the oppression of one race by anther race.” This is a definition by non-essentials. Races have been attacking each other for a long time usually over land, water, food and religion where their gods command them to kill infidels. Actually, race had little to do with it. Critical Race Theory is nothing more than an attempt to justify racism practiced against a majority by a minority. It’s just as evil as its reverse.

Whatwe are looking at today is a government-regulated economy that creates injustices which are harder on minorities than others and a public school system that fails to teach students howto discern this fact.

The attack on the Twin Towers inNew York, the attack on the Pentagon inWashington, D.C. and the failed attack on the White House. Four United States of America aircraft hijacked by 18 Arab nationals of whom 15 were Saudi nationalists with green card visa’s sponsored to allowstudy in America.

Over 3,000 Americans killed and thousands injured and still suffering, billions of dollars in destruction on American soil.

Result; a Middle East war in Iraq and

Afghanistan costing 1.8 million lives (military and civilian), $3 trillion tax dollars, and over 30 years of war beginning with the invasion of Kuwait in 1990 and finalized with the destruction of Iraq in 2003 using lies and deceit ofWMD’s by the American government.

Oil and money rule the world, Saudi Arabia is ruled as a kingdom and the richest country in the world per capita due to oil, they feared Iraq and used America for their purposes.

They were never investigated for their part in the destruction of America and are considered friends by the government of America, the best government money can buy.
