To the editor:

Frankly, I've thought the race relations stuff lately has been somewhat overdone. The war has been over for lots of years, you see a lot more exposure for black folks on TV and in the movies. Let's relax a little. Why get upset if someone wants to fly the Confederate flag? It's just a symbol of a time long gone. Why destroy statues of Confederate heroes? It's history and art. Then, in a recent issue of Smithsonian magazine, there was an article titled, "How We're Still Paying For The Confederacy." I was stunned.
