Drinking, driving
steals another life
Last March my girlfriend and
I met a friend in Tyler to relax.
We were driving into town to
get a bite to eat when a drunk
driver brought our world crash
ing around us.
My girlfriend and I spent a
week in East Texas Medical Cen
ter, but our friend wasn’t so
lucky. He was killed on impact.
The drunk driver was
charged and convicted with ve
hicular manslaughter with a
deadly weapon.
He is now serving a minimum
of 10 years on a 10-year sentence
in a state prison.
We’re still healing from the
pain caused by a drunk driver.
Drink responsibly and always
designate a driver.
Rest in peace, Chase Walton.

There was no sugar coating
of any issues or concerns nor
any delightful anecdotes to en
tertain people.
Race relations have been
and always will be a problem
in America.
Americans need to take heed
of the Kemer Commission’s re
port about America heading to
ward two separate and unequal
nations, a black America and
white America.
The Commission has released
a second report that says the
condition of race relations are
worse now than they were 30
years ago.
The world is hurting from
all of the hate that people pos
sess for another because of
skin color and economic stand
ing, wars and years of mis
use/mistreatment of the land.
Either we are truly going to
have to learn how to respect and
understand cultural differences
or annihilate each other off the
face of the earth.

Forget Farrakhan:
March for all men
I strongly disagree with Alex
Miller’s column about the Mil
lion Man March.
No one can understand the
need for a Million Man March
until they have been an
African-American man in a
racist society.
Through the freedom of ex
pression, anyone who spoke at
the March was expressing their
thoughts and opinions as to the
importance of Oct. 16, 1995 be
ing a day of atonement and
what it meant to them.
• I am writing in response to
Alex Miller’s column on the
Million Man March.
I agree with his evaluation of
some of the speakers in that I
too was shocked at some of the
ideas put forth.
But, I disagree with his idea
that it was a disappointment.
I found it very encouraging
and inspirational that almost
500,000 black men came togeth
er to stand for strength, unity
and progress.
Many of those in attendance
and many of us watching looked
past the disparaging remarks of
Louis Farrakhan to see this was
a positive for the black commu
nity. This protest was bigger
