LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Focused on critical race theory

(re: “White people are victims of racism, too,” Nov. 25)

In the next-to-last paragraph of my previous letter last November, I stated that I loudly proclaimed critical race theory is a “load of unadulterated crap.” And that those white people who believe this Black racist garbage are not just fools, but “gutless, groveling morons who have no self-respect.”

I realized I would not get many responses agreeing with me — if any at all — since those people would probably be subjected to intimidation and reprisals by the Black racists and their supporters, even to the extent of losing their jobs or having their businesses picketed and boycotted. And so I want to especially thank Nat Weiner for his bravery in writing a letter supporting me.

But I was also quite happily surprised to find that only one negative response had come in. This, a short two-paragraph letter from Michelle Disco, calling my letter a “racist diatribe” without, as Mr. Weiner put it, “any specific facts to refute what I said.”

I was also extremely surprised The Riverdale Press had not received a negative letter from Norman Wechsler.

For the benefit of those many ignorant people who get their information from The New York Times, CNN, or other leftist so-called “news” organizations — and thus may not be knowledgeable — the essence of critical race theory is that Black people throughout the centuries have been oppressed and subjugated by white people, and that the white race — not just individual white people, but the entire white race — is irredeemably evil.

This is the very same hateful philosophy espoused by Nation of Islam minister (and Jew hater) Louis Farrakhan who has been quoted as saying, “The white race is a race of devils,” and “white people deserve to die.”

And being a so-called social justice liberal Jew makes absolutely no difference. If you are white, you are irredeemably evil. Case closed. Perhaps people like that would now enlighten us about “white privilege” and give us their thoughts about my views of critical race theory and Black racist hustlers taking advantage of George Floyd’s murder.

The main focus of this letter, however, is Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz and state Sen. Alessandra Biaggi. I ended my previous letter asking them where they stood on the issue of critical race theory. Both these politicians — who are up for re-election — have not yet responded. It is imperative that the voters know where they stand on this extremely important issue.

They cannot hide.

If they do not respond and condemn critical race theory, that very inaction will put them into the category of those white people who are gutless, groveling morons who have no self-respect.

The question is, are they white? Or are they yellow?
