Gentlemen:

I would like to write an answer to Mr. Ferguson’s article. There are words that you might find offensive, such as “Little Black Sambo Restaurant”. That is a proper name. It should not be considered offensive.

I am a school teacher, and respect all of my students. I am not a racist, but I do believe in people working hard for what they want, not expecting someone to give it to them.
