Thank you for replying. I did not expect one. You say Amy is playing, my position is that almost everyone who plays with fire, (of whatever sort), typically begins on a lark and only too late realizes the danger of their game. Amy may have been posing in the beginning, however I think that she has taken that one step too many and whether she was 'fronting' is irrelevant at this point. Particularly in light of my above stated opinion that most people begin on a lark only to impress peers and to appear 'cool', (posing). We will respectfully disagree.
As to the second part of my first letter, it was intended for one of my fellow posters replying to your article and not directed at you. I do not expect that you would have given voice to such a load of trash in a public forum. I stand by what I said in that part of the letter. Anyone who believes that only a certain race or ethnicity can do a specific thing and all others are incapable is just ignorant at best, a racist at worst. Do rich, happy black folks have the innate ability to reach into their families' past to successfully sing the blues? And no other group of people has ever been downtrodden. Ridiculous. In any case, again, thank you for your reply as you did not have to go to the effort.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
