Anger over minister’s remarks

Share

Re “Allegations in e-mail split Jews and blacks,” April 12

When radio DJ Don Imus made a horrid, racist remark, reaction was swift and his punishment was appropriate, even though he issued an apology. Where is the outrage or the reaction from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference over the Rev. Eric Lee’s remarks? What he allegedly said was worse than what Imus said.

This man should be fired. There is too much hate in the world already.

During this volatile Democratic primary campaign, this incendiary report obviously feeds and exploits strong, conflicting emotions -- not only in supporters of both candidates but particularly between the African American and Jewish communities. It is therefore most disconcerting that The Times did so little research on Daphna Ziman, who, along with her husband, is a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Had The Times done easily obtained research, Ziman’s political bias would have been revealed and this tempest cooled.
