Subject: Another racist hate note in Kentucky!

Date: Mon, 8 Jul 2002 17:36:15 -0700 (PDT)
From: KY.

Check this out. I'm sending it to the Courier Journal in Louisville.

Racism alive and well

On July 5th 2002, I went to the University of Louisville Hospital with my wife. When I returned to my vehicle I had a note left on my windshield in response to my bumper stickers which read "American Indian Movement Supporter" and "Honor Native Treaty Rights". The note left on my truck read:

"Move to the reservation you drunk. Do you enjoy the casino money? You lost the land to a more intelligent being (human). Go Redskins"

I would like to take this opportunity to espond to this individual by stating that I am of Cherokee/Irish ancestry and am very proud of both. I do NOT drink alcoholic beverages and alcohol has been introduced by white people, there was no alcoholic beverages before European arrival. Not all reservations have casino's, nor do all native people live on welfare. Many native people struggle through life just as you do, if not worse due to racist employers. And as far as the "more intelligent being", native cultures live with the land, we didn't pollute our Mother Earth. We had no need for chemical plants or nuclear plants, of which are producing toxic wastes at an alarming rate. Now this nation can't figure out a solution on what to do with these waste's. More intelligent?

By the way, I do not hold hard feelings towards you. I feel saddened that you are ate up with such anger and hatred towards me. Although, I unlike you, my friend, have the honor and the bravery to at least sign my work.
