Referring to Dan Alger’s letter “Oh for crying out loud” (Our Readers’ Views, Oct. 11), I agree that “This racist crap just needs to go away.” Let’s start by ending the rise of white supremacist groups like Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys. Let’s end the rush to pass voter-restriction laws designed to keep people of color from voting, which at least 28 states have introduced. Let’s end the attempt to whitewash our schools’ history lessons so that white kids won’t feel bad. Let’s end the disparity in medical care, housing and education for people of color. By all means, let’s end “this racist crap” and let’s do it now.
