In response to ‘A stunning defeat’ (Nov. 10 issue 212) Dear Editor, I believe you (Stampp Corbin) are wrong, this is more a stunning victory for Mr. Trump. For you to blatantly and in a transparently racist rhetoric, lay your predominant blame with “angry white conservative voters, who also live among (amongst) us”, is nothing…
The shooting of former football player Joe McKnight in New Orleans last week during a “road rage incident” highlights the new racist defense strategy: Black Panic. A white person, or police officer, has an interaction with a black man and instantly they fear for their lives. McKnight was shot to death in an altercation with…

I attended what was thought to be an election victory cocktail party for Hillary Clinton. The jovial mood over several hours turned into that of a wake and finally a funeral. Clinton’s stunning defeat is hard to accept but we have been here before. A two-term Democratic president yields a subsequent presidential election where there…
First let me state that I think Equality California does great work. However, I have been stunned by the recent Go Vote or Why Vote ads the organization has been running over recent weeks.
