I was pleased to see The Times editorial on the proper response to the white nationalist rally scheduled for Lumpkin County next weekend, but my pleasure was mixed with a sense of disappointment at the editorial’s portrayal of people who are opposed to white supremacy. Like most people from Dahlonega, I am dismayed to see my hometown sullied by the presence of white supremacists, although they have the right to voice their hatred and fear even if most decent people disagree. I think for the most part, the people who actually live and work in Dahlonega have the right response, which is to ignore the rally and avoid giving such a group the publicity they crave so badly.
