For me to say that Only army personnel Are the ones tarnishing the image of americans is false. In be lived in the Kaiserslautern area since 1986.1 used to live in a Village beside Sembach a and All my american neighbors were air Force personnel. Ana guess who used to play loud music during German holidays or loud parties late into the evening and keep the neighbourhood up throughout the night what also used to Embarrass me was when my German neighbors would ask me Why the f-16s keep crashing injuring lives and damaging property. So you see it s not proper to throw stones when you live in a Glass House. Currently i live in an air Force Community and 1 see the same problems that the writer addressed. I think the army does pretty Well in establishing Good relations. We All have the same problems. A staff sgt. George e. Ybarra Kaiserslautern German Bias solution needed in response to the letter a army fair impartial a the Only Point i agree with is that racism has no place in today a army. I dare to say that the letter writer did not conduct As thorough a search As Arthur Fletcher the chairman of the . Commission on civil rights into army fairness whose Job it is to do so. Obviously if he sees an army wide problem then it is his decision to create an army wide solution. A Case by Case basis of handling complaints is not the answer because Case of Case soldiers have informed Fletcher that the system does not work. Also so Many complaints brought directly to the chairman prove that troops need a change especially since Gen. Crosbie e. Saint has been unaware of so much unhappiness. The problem today is people criticizing a potential answer before giving it the Opportunity to work while it is apparent the status quo requires serious alteration. A spec. Carlos r. Birdsong Hanau German fire Fletcher shame on civil rights commissioner Arthur Fletcher for insulting a whole group of people. The fact that he admitted to telling Black soldiers that Quot Whites done to treat other Whites Well is a Gross exaggeration and an insensitive generalization. Its a sad commentary on the civil rights commission. I implore president Bush to fire or. Fletcher and replace him with someone who is understanding and sensitive to All americans. A capt. Mark e. Jaworoski Frankfurt German what Isnit afr centrism afr centrism seems to be in the Media almost daily. Each african american Leader seems to have a different description of what it Means. Many Radical leaders in the african american Community also have ideas which they include As part of the afr centrist movement. Many of these ideas include anti semitic statements backed up by dangerous statistics also used by the Kun flux Kjan and the National socialists of 1940s Germany. Another Issue is the misrepresentation of islam in the belief that Man is god which is a belief of the nation of islam group called the a five  there is also the belief that the amount of Melanin your skin produces determines How intelligent and How Strong you May become. One belief not so questionable is the nubian influence on ancient Egypt but it should also be known that jews were enslaved by the egyptians and Many died building the pyramids. Perhaps even some Fala shas Black african hebrews from the nubian area died while enslaved to Egypt. Some say afr centrism is for All people regardless of race. Is this True or is afr centrism a self imposed apartheid movement Many have said what afr centrism is. Will anyone say what afr centrism Isnit for your information i am a mixed race person. A Peter .

Forgive me if i generalize but i feel this is the most adequate Way to describe my reaction and interpretation of the incident. We have a sad state of affairs in our glorious country a minorities fighting minorities. Jewish persons african american persons both have Long been targets of atred bigotry and ignorance from All sides yet they have More in common than they realize. Rioting obviously accomplishes nothing. It is a method of venting frustration that Only fuels hate campaigns of the Kjan mentalities and would probably cause or. Martin Luther King or. Himself to Roll Over in his grave. A1 Sharpton jumped on the band Wagon encouraging the already Well established division Between the two i letters to the editor five men the youngest being 17, were killed by american troops. A Simon Viviers Schwein firt Germany a time to Chuck it out your newspaper is doing a Good Job of reflecting americans sickness. An article per Page on atrocious acts of Mur Der dismemberment rapes child abuse and other violence. Then on sunday for entertainment Joe Bob Briggs goes to the movies and glorifies for a full Page torture murder dismemberment and perverse sexuality. A Check it out a he recommends. Chuck it out is my suggestion. Keep your obscene material in the Racks of your Bookstore where i can avoid it easily. A Lisa Cooney to Gelwich Germany 4i 4iblessings of free speech this is in response to the letter a for americans  if the time were taken to read an English newspaper or any european one for that matter you would find that americans Are just As opinionated in the affairs of other countries As they Are in yours. I believe its what a called a Freedom of  gun control is not just an american Issue As stated. Governments All Over the world debate the pros and cons of allowing their people to own guns. The letter reads As though the Only people opposed to the american system which gives the right to Bear arms Are the europeans. Look inside the United states and you will find Many people who disagree. I thank god that the majority of the world leaders done to share the writers opinion that a we should fight our own wars Quot or there would be Little or no Chance for world peace. My husband is in the army. I spent Many anxious months during the persian Gulf War. I was proud though not just of my husband but of All the american forces of the Superb task that was accomplished and the sacrifices they made. I was proud of the support Given by the families and the american people. All of this comes from one of those a a brits the writer abhors and in a extremely proud of my heritage. In a Happy to say that the american people in be met accept me for the person i am and do not categorize me by the country i come from. By the Way you might be american but you speak English. A Vanessa Garrison Niernberg Germany Noritis when he declared jews As a Diamond merchants and throwing in the names of Yusef Hawkins and Marcus Garvey for publicity. Sharpton has already proved himself untrustworthy in the eyes of the Public from other recent events. Black americans deserve better figureheads and leaders As their voice in our country and that does no to mean Selling out to the Media either. A airman 1st class Chris Nelson Ramstein a Germany a a a brits fought War too i am replying to the letter a for americans  the writer states that he has no responsibility to like the British and that we should fight our own wars and pay our own Way whatever that Means.
