Letters: These letter writers don’t understand profiling

The July 18 letters from Bill Barlow (“White parents tell children the same thing about police”) and Diane Jumper (“March served no good purpose”) portray the views of whites who do not understand the trials and tribulations of blacks. There is no way people can credibly say they empathize unless they’ve walked in the shoes of others.

These letters represent the failure of certain segments of society to understand profiling, income disparity and disparaging behavior that blacks encounter. The letters display explicit racism.

I think the Black Lives Matter rally was a concerted effort to answer the base, provincial Confederate flag “ceremony” earlier that day at the State House. Freedom of speech goes both ways.
