Couple of race-related stories in the news today. This one is shocking and outright unconstitutional — sounds like a story from the 1930s. This one is constitutionally protected free speech. Offensive, but happened here in Kansas.
Fascinating to me how people who commit obvious acts of racism or bigotry always say they're not racist or they didn't mean to be racist. They don't see it, perhaps in some cases because they can't see it, based on the limitations of their own experiences. But in these cases you have an elected state official and a judge.

I married into a family with a number of bigots in it. I'm constantly getting racist and other hate e-mail from one inlaw in particular. Sad, so sad.
Why is black on black racism ok ?
Jessie Jackson called Prez O the n word then said he would cut his privates off.
I just want to comment on the fact that you used a Wichita Eagle reporter's coverage of the Capun VS Ark City football game instead of having someone on your staff write something. The coverage was very one sided, and made our team look very bad. What's the problem with having someone from our city write a little blurb about the game instead of using someone from the opposing town's paper? I can just imagine the AC football players and their families picking up their hometown paper and having to read their rival team's perspective instead of their own. Was it too much work to sit down and write something, or did you just not feel like sending anyone to the game? Sure, they got beat, but they don't need their noses rubbed in it by quoting the other teams coach.
I remember when we had a good newspaper, and good reporters who covered local events from a local perspective. What I see now is laziness and apathy.
