About Yow’s supporters
After reading a constituent’s defense of Billy Yow (letter, June 17), I realized that it is important to let people know Yow’s supporters are not a bunch of barefooted, inbred, uneducated yokels. Many are college-educated, hard-working, family-oriented individuals.
Of course, it’s also important to note that other college-educated, hard-working, family-oriented individuals who have opposed big government in either the past or present include George Lincoln Rockwell, David Duke, Nick Griffin, Preston Brooks and Robert Byrd. Few of them would have considered themselves racists. They were just politicians.

Question, How come we never read about perverse racism/race bating in High Point? Locally, It seems like it's always originating in Greensboro.
The city is looking for a "brand" name. I suggest it use something to denote the cancer of racism , perceived racism or the stinking climate of hate that exists here as it is very unique to Greensboro.

So let me see if I understand this correctly. If I happen to agree with Yow's politics, then I must be an uber-racist or a member of the KKK?
This kind of letter always reminds me of a quote from Friedrich Nietzsche's, Beyond Good and Evil.
"And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

Is the abyss code for the International Civil Rights Museum?
