One other I hear..."The Republicans are for the rich"
The author sent it to hundreds of newspapers but only a local Sarasota paper owned by Black Republicans have printed it.
"Frances Rice is an attorney and an African-American woman who served in the Army for 20 years before retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. While in the Army she served as a company commander, an adjutant in a basic combat training brigade and a prosecutor in courts-marital.
Upon retiring, she was awarded the Legion of Merit."
And when we think of women who serve in our Armed Forces, let us think more of women like Col. Rice, and less of women like Pvt. Lindsey England. There are many more of the former than of the latter.
I'm sorry, all I hear are crickets...or is that the dreaded Cicada?

"Oh, and a disproportionately high rate of homosexuality among black males."
You're going to have to provide a source for that. Where did you hear that or why do you think that?
Ditto.......BUMP
Bump.
This was a great letter. Thanks for making it available.
Recently on our local ABC affilliate there was a news item called "Down Low Lifestyle". It was about bi-sexual black men. How it's this whole underground life. Lots of married men steppin' out with the boys. That supposedly is why AIDS among middle class black women is on the rise.
To be honest, I didn't pay close attention to the series because the tone of it made the "low down lifestyle" out to be cool when it was anything but.
My thanks and regards to you and the author. God bless you both.
The truth shall set you FRee indeed!
WOW!!!
Do you have her contact info? I want to take this to our local paper.
I dunno, us stupid conservatives get pretty similar treatment from the GOP, and we keep going to the polls like we had good sense.
Funny you mentioned Woodrow Wilson. I saw Bill Clinton say that Wilson is his presidential role model.
Unfortunately the author is pulling on Superman's cape and spitting into the wind with this letter.
When was it published in the Sarasota paper, could we find that link?
A published piece with links helps get this around better is all.
I already knew of most of the facts in the letter.
I have a recipe for sauteed Cicadas...
Bump
