Letter to the Editor: Cliven Bundy not racist, just honest
Dear Editor,
I am an American mutt pure put up for adoption because of race and now that I am 47 with children I need to sot back and look at this picture and say is this man racist or just frustrated and doesn’t know who to blame. Then we must consider the statistics shy should Americans that work have to pay for this giant welfare program. I was born in Pittsburgh PA graduated 1984 high school if it wasn’t for Police, Corrections, Teachers and Crime what would my generation do. That being said all of these jobs are Welfare is Taxes Most union workers are paid in Tax dollars. The man may be misguided (Cliven Bundy the racist rancher) and confused he is not racist just being honest in what he sees.

At 1:05 of the video there’s one heck of an edit. Regardless, he still said what he said and there’s no denying it. Those were racist comments and he has publicly stated that he stands behind them.
Not racist? Pining for the days of slavery is somehow not racist? You really can’t put “negroes” and “picking cotton” in the same sentence and argue that it’s somehow not racist.
Bundy’s anti-federalist, state’s rights attitude (does he use American dollars?!?) is nothing more than whistling Dixie and wishing for a simpler time, before emancipation and that somehow is not racist.
