No place for racism in DE - Black or White

Dear Editor:

I am appalled at the Daily Egyptian allowing Tommy Curry to continue to use the school newspaper as a forum for his clearly racist attitudes. SIU has not seen anyone on this scale since Matt Hale was an embarrassment to this school. Mr. Hale's views, despite what the Illinois Supreme Court said, kept him from obtaining a license to practice law in this state.

Part of the legal community's problem with Mr. Hale was his "talent" for walking a fine line in advocating violence against minorities. I honestly don't see the difference between what Mr. Hale advocated and what Mr. Curry now seems to advocate. His redefining murder of whites as "armed resistance" is nothing short of a call to arms and violence against white people. I am ashamed of the DE for allowing itself to be used for such a purpose.
