Ku Klux Klan :: essays papers

Ku Klux KlanTo my dear parents,I regret to inform you that by the time you are reading this I lead have begun my journey west. Times have grown harsh I can no longer bear to belong in the shadows of this familys actions. As I have grown, it has become more difficult for me to deny the actions of daddy and uncle Wesley. While you have done everything you can to raise me in your image, your actions outside of our kinsfolk have made that impossible. You have imposed your views of racial hatred and prejudice on me for long enough. Now that I am sixteen I am able to see what you really are scared to lose your job to a colored globe who would work twice as hard as you for half the money. The day will come when your actions will comeback to haunt you. As years pass you will realize that your hatred for an innocent laundry has cost you what could have been a beautiful relationship with your only son. Word of the klans latest hate crime has reached me, and I can only consent you r involvement. I consider all these events awful random acts of fear and hatred but this one especially perturbed me. People wont respond to your rachitic attempts at instilling fear in them. You burn a cross you kill a cat while its wrong I can live with it, however when you decide to end the life of a nonher person over a mere four acres of land I can non stand by and say nothing. While the elderly coupled you brutally massacred was nothing but two useless defiant niggers to you, they were friends to me. They were the family that you could never be. They cared about me and did not force me into their beliefs. Everyday while you forced me to slave away my childhood in the grocery store to pay for your acts of bigotry, the Holberts took me in as one of their own. Mr. Holbert began workings at the market for almost eight months ago and did amazing work. He was a good man who would never turn down another man in need. Thats much more than I could ever say about you. You and Wesley along with half of Lake City sat around eating your deviled pelt and drinking your lemonade (Ezparsa 2) while two innocent citizens with the same rights as you and I fell victim to a mob of scared white trash.
