To the editor:

Tom McLaughlin asks the question, “What the heck is systemic racism?” and then provides an answer to the question for us, brilliantly if not intentionally.

I know Tom only through his columns although our paths have crossed for many years in the Conway's and Lovell. What I do read from Tom is a path to addressing racism with education and tolerance while the left has chosen to use bigotry and prejudice.

I have always found that racism is born out of fear and ignorance. I don’t believe him to be ignorant so it leaves me to wonder what he may be afraid of. When you take away the labels (leftist, libs, radicals, socialists, progressives, etc) people are just people living their lives as best they can.
