Dear Editor: Why in the world would we listen to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright lecturing us about racism in America? He's the man who screamed that white America invented AIDS to kill black people, that the USA is actually the 'USA of KKK' and that Hillary Clinton wasn't qualified to be president since she was never called the 'n' word.

These comments were so hateful that Sen. (Barack) Obama had to resign (in 2008) from the church he attended for 20 years. Yes, racism exists, but it doesn't belong to only one race. (The) Rev. Wright is a black racist.
Local state representative Bobby Singleton ought to be ashamed, too, for charging Republicans with racism. The new Alabama GOP majority helped pass ethics reform. Does Singleton oppose greater accountability? And why would he make judgments about racist policies he claims are coming before the fact?
Our elected officials represent us all and should be more judicious in their public comments.
