Dear Edward,
I told you whites are not stupid. They know it very
well that you will turn tables against them and be
rest assured, you will never be able to use democratic
principles to do to them what I also know you are
planning, so my brother, don't bother, just live and
let live. In fact If I were you, I would ask Pat out
for diner. You will be both happier people.
