The majority of the folks were in agreement on this one after being polled on how they would vote. I decided to go out on the proverbial limb and sheepishly announced I was in favor of Issue 6. You could have heard a pin drop until I was challenged to answer why....which I attempted to do. After that we went back to playing cards.<br /><br />It felt good to debate with friends face to face..even when my rationale was challenged on the grounds of racial loyalty. <br /><br />Long story short: I commend Senator Turner. I respect those that disagree with her. However, questioning her character and attacking her from behind the poison of the pen was very petty and childish.<br /><br />A big part of my decision to vote for Issue 6 came after I heard Mr. Forbes on NPR before the vote --- his comments put me over the top. I thought he was confused and was talking about something in the sixties.<br /><br />George WilliamsGeorge Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14286053.post-24179033376568907012009-12-01T17:16:21.999-05:002009-12-01T17:16:21.999-05:00Thanks Henry for your very appropriate and unfortu...Thanks Henry for your very appropriate and unfortunately necessary points. I would have hoped the Call & Post newspaper had reached lots of its potential by this time but alas NOT.<br /><br />If the C&P editorial staff is monitoring its readership, how many young leaders are readers?<br /><br />Isn't the future growth of the paper dependent on the number of readers? <br /><br />How can a African American newspaper be citadel of free speech if they continue to partake in such racist's symbols of long past times? Or are they long gone?<br /><br />Beverly J. PetersonBJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15289922900404715639noreply@blogger.com
