People With Common Sense Will See Stephenson's Letter For What It Is

To the editor,

This is in response to a recent letter concerning Barack Obama, that states "some of us thought that he was the same as most USA negros,"

1. Do you realize computers have spell check and the word "negros" is misspelled. The proper spelling is Negroes. This is a term long in disuse, by the way, and that statement also shows how bigoted you are. To state that "anyone" is the same as "all" black people, white people, Asian people, is denying that anyone can be an individual or different than all in their ethnic group. You cannot clump everyone into one group.

2. You also misrepresent his position on the issues we are all concerned with. Do you believe all the ads you see on TV against him?

3. You insinuate that Obama has stolen the title of "world's best liar" from Clinton. I assume you mean Bill Clinton for you go on to say everyone should try to elect Hillary Clinton in order to have a fair election.

I firmly believe that people who read the letters to the editor and read the newspapers have enough knowledge and common sense to see that letter for what it was/is.
