BRACK: Here’s an open letter to those racists in our midst

BRACK: Here’s an open letter to those racists in our midst

By Andy Brack | Dear racists: You may think you’re winning the battle with a killing here or a hate rally there, but you’re losing the war.  Americans are getting increasingly sick, tired and repelled by your vitriolic, creepy, abhorrent prejudices.  Your days are as numbered as the president you glorify.

VIEW: Newnan inspires thought: Let’s not allow dividers to win

By Andy Brack  | U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., said something a couple of weeks back that’s been circling through my brain: “Look, I have this firm belief that if America hasn’t broken your heart, you don’t love her enough.”

My heart is breaking as our nation is being torn apart in ways never imagined by founding fathers and leaders of the country for 200 years.
