And shudder you should.
I publish a newspaper in Middleburg, Virginia, pehaps aptly named,
The Middleburg Eccentric.
We received racist threats and Klan-style (and language) demands for
our editor to leave town. Her sin: balanced reporting on efforts to
build an Inn on land adjacent to Middleburg by one of the founders of
BET.
I hope someone's archiving these exchanges.
Some graduate student in 2107 will no doubt find them revealing of
the mindset of the early 21st stewards of the Knowledge Trust . . .
evidence of ongoing struggles to rationalize the unreasonable . . .
and a sad commentary on the persistence of racism in our beloved Old
Dominion.
Best,
Dan
