Ms. Berry sees racism around every corner and in every cloud. We've all known people like her, scarred by some personal matter and taking it out on everyone else. Hang around a major US University, the feminist groups, etc., and the hatred and bitterness is contagious and soul-destroying. For a very short time many, many years ago I was almost convinced that men were pigs. Plenty of my fellow classmates without strong men in their lives found a great deal of satisfaction in this mob mentality, as cruel and wrongheaded as it was. My own Dad was wonderful, so the lie couldn't hold up under the reality test.
I don't know the answer, but we don't need to take this from her. No one should accept slander on this scale. Republicans racist in Florida? No, Ms. Berry, you are.
