‘Damage done’

Dear Editor:

The cartoon on page 11 of the June 18 edition of this paper goes beyond bad timing and insensitivity; it underlines the reality that ignorance of white privilege is alive and well in Wellington County. Shame on you.

While this offensive cartoon was removed from your website at the recommendation of your publisher, there is damage done. Look to some investigative journalism as to the insidious nature of white privilege and start a meaningful discussion.
