It ain't over til it's over

Dear Editor:

Why do some African-Americans feel that racism is the only problem in the world? I'll tell you why! It's because they are African-American and they are only interested in their rights and their own freedoms. Everyone in this country has to deal with hardships that prevent him or her from doing something. No matter what race you are, there will be sometime in your life when you are treated differently because of things that are out of your control. Personal freedom is something that everyone should receive equally. Why must some African-Americans magnify their problems as if they are the only problems that exist in our society? Until groups such as the KKK, NAACP, Blacks Interested in Business, Minorities in Computer Science and the National Society of Black Engineers change their names and their purpose to benefit everyone and not just one race, then we will continue to experience difficulties with racism.
