Letter: We must speak against white supremacy
Counter-protesters
A counter-protester confronts members of the Proud Boys and other right-wing demonstrators during an "End Domestic Terrorism" rally in Portland, Ore., on Saturday, Aug. 17, 2019. Counter-protesters are planning to gather in Dahlonega Sept. 14 as a group with reported ties to white nationalism rallies. - photo by Associated Press
I read your editorial board’s opinion regarding the upcoming Dahlonega rally and protest with great interest and was ultimately shocked at the lack of correct information you had and your choice to characterize protesters as equally intolerable as those rallying. You paint Doles as being “formerly” associated with the klan while ignoring his ongoing aggressively white supremacist beliefs. You also seem to ignore the rally organizers bringing in nationally recognized white supremacist speakers.
