Sick of apologizing for being white

Chronicle readers are again treated to a double ration of sophistry in the form of a book review presented as a letter to the editor by Robert "Tunk" Martin on Jan. 21.

If memory serves, this is the same gent who decreed white people weren't fit to comment on the antics of U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., a.k.a. the cutest little Communist in Congress.

I assume this also applies to his beloved status as victim, but I'll choose to comment - continue to wallow in it and enjoy.

As 1960s comic Brother Dave Gardner said, "I'm just sick and tired of apologizing for being white."

Merle Burkholder, Augusta
