45. The people who would want to hide photos from the Civil Rights era...
...are more likely the white people who performed the ugliness.

The Civil Rights photos are more akin to the Abu Gharib photos - the results of allowing the type of thinking in the letter to go unquestioned.

I think we all agree that the letter is repugnant.

And be honest - How many letters from readers of Glamour state a viewpoint that is repugnant or outrageous? Most are god-awful bland; not even as feisty as Oprah. By placing this letter amongst such bland fare, the magazine is stating that this is, indeed, just another point of view (low-carb or South Beach diet?).
