Please, please, please!!!!! go to the Jackson Sun's website and look up Jecilyn Bailey's latest column. It has pissed be off like no other and please leave comments and write letters to the editor about how it's the equivalent of blatant racism. www.jacksonsun.com
Send letters to [EMAIL PROTECTED] When people make racist comments, we speak up. When people make sexist statements, we usually do nothing. Please speak up for women. They reject what I write sometimes as they should have done on the mentioned column. Thanks!
