Editor,
I want to respond to the writer of "Racism is alive and well" of Feb 4. I join the writer in opposition to actual racism, and I'm glad that the attitudes of most Americans have shifted to the point where an American of African descent can be elected our President. However, I don't agree with the idea that because our President is black, opposing his policies is racist. I also don't agree with the idea that because many Americans on public assistance are minorities, it's racist to support policies that favor the well to do. In fact, the majority of Americans on public assistance are white. Also, most of the jobs minorities work at were created by financially successful Americans, some of whom are minorities.
