I am replying to Haley Blaynes letter which appeared in the July 1 Sun. She apparently likes to take statements out of context. <\/p>\n
For one, I never stated this was an Us versus Them problem. My original reply was the injustice to Black WWII veterans who did not receive GI benefits. I agreed that this was an injustice, but I stated that was 75 years ago, and we have made progress. I never stated the task was complete at this time. There is still progress to be made. <\/p>\n
I also never compared Martin Luther King to protestors in Michigan at their State Capital. The only statement was that the Michigan protestors, both black and white, were making a 2nd Amendment statement by peaceful protest. This is what MLK would have preferred.<\/p>\n
I also never made any statements about the police or activity surrounding George Floyd or that I have done enough for my neighbor. Haley Blayne surmises all this. Haley Blayne never states what heavy lifting changes should be made. I have a business and I work with minorities and various nationalities. I make no distinction in their heritage, nationality, or color. I believe in his final statement from the North Star in 1847 and MLKs statement to judge an individual by the content of his character, not the color of his skin.<\/p>\n
