Response to anger letter

Editor's note: The following letter was submitted in response to a previous letter titled "Over time, disappearing rights":

I appreciate the response to my displaced anger letter. As far as rights are concerned, African-Americans have had that dilemma for more than 200 years. So welcome to that party.

Most Missouri racists are not originally born and or raised here. Many arrived here believing that the locals would be more like them, and since Missouri was the last state to free the slaves that is for another history lesson.

Missourians can make life better for every resident if they vote for a higher minimum wage and have some sort of rent control so that the elderly and part-time employees can afford to live.
