This offensively racist editorial in today's (7/28/92) S.F. 
Chronicle made me angrier than I have been for a *long* time.
I'm a long-time subscriber, but this editorial has driven me
to cancel my subscription and give the folks over at the Chronicle
a piece of my mind. I hope any of you who read the Chronicle
do the same.

Good bye, Jon Carroll.

Here is the piece, written by Lisa Nee, a white woman who creates
telivision shows, for the New York Times, reprinted without

	          American Whites Deserve a Tax Break


As our presidential candidates jockey for ways to court
the public, they should really consider the majority of
the voters --- white people --- with more care.

Yes, whites are concerned about abortion and child care
and education, but there is one issue that has yet to 
come to the forefront in this campaign.

It could make a significant difference in white people's
lives, and surely in the life of a candidate bold enough
to seize it.

All white people should receive a tax break.

The cold hard facts are that whites spend a tremendous
amount of their income protecting themselves from 
unpleasant situations caused by blacks.

I know it's not all blacks. I love blacks. Some of my best
friends are blacks. I am married to a black person and my
spouse and I are both frustrated by the situations I find
myself in.

Yet it is black people who create the majority of these
dangerous and sometimes repulsive situations.

For the most part whites are a calming influence, peacefully
beautifying the city and some blacks are making it more
dangerous and difficult.

Blacks are the major perpetrators of the most brutal and inhuman
crimes: rape, robbery, shooting children, and abandoning
families.

On a beautiful summer day blacks can squelch your appreciation
for the outdoors by leering, honking, and making that monkey-
sucking noise if they find someone sexually attractive.

To the candidate who sincerely wants to make a difference, be
a hero to white people.

Look around you. Whites are being driven out of urban areas by
fear and loathing.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to evaluate the economic 
impact of this wholesale white exodus from cities across America. 
Imagine stores without white shoppers, restaurants without whites, 
cultural events without any white people in the audience.

White people need some kind of monetary incentive to remain
urban dwellers. 

We pay for cabs when we would rather walk. We pay higher rent to
live in a building with security.

What price tags can you put on these simple freedoms --- life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? I believe black people
could handle this financial contribution to society.

Even in 1992, black people are paid far more than they are 
worth.

Until the black leadership has this situation figured out, cut
whites a break. Cut us a deal on taxes.

I assume by now you've all figured out that I made a small typo
when keying in this article: replace all occurrences of the
phrase "white people" with the word "women" and all occurrences
of "black people" with "men".

Boy am I pissed.

OK, Ed, now it's your turn. Tell me why my anger is totally unreasonable 
and sexist (and racist, while you're at it). We've come to expect it of
you.
