...disappointed by Winfrey's support for Obama. Yes, we have to consider that there are men who will vote for anyone but a woman, and especially anyone but Hillary Clinton. But for "O" to support Obama, who's vastly less experienced than Clinton, makes Winfrey's decision seem divisive, racist and against the best interests of the country as a whole. Her choice is an example of reverse racism, a subject white people feel too guilty to discuss. Susan Mather, SAN FRANCISCO...
...Caught Between Color Lines In "The Identity Card," Shelby Steele offered an insightful, thought-provoking examination of race in politics [Dec. 10]. I have a couple of questions, though. What exactly are black values vs. white values? What white shame does he believe binds my actions? He stated that "racist societies make race into a hard fate," yet he perpetuated racist beliefs in his article. Each individual is a cornucopia of various physical and behavioral traits. No single trait, most certainly not the pigment in one's skin, remotely defines any of us. If we want to end racism...
...Border Patrol Judging from his piece "The Hottest Issue," it seems easier for Joe Klein to cast opponents of illegal immigration as mostly a bunch of nativist bigots rather than concerned citizens [Dec. 10].

...immigrant from Bulgaria, but I found Klein's article disturbing. Why does he make it seem that the growing anger over illegal immigrants comes from racist rednecks? If a candidate comes up with a plan for strict control of immigration, he or she will be patriotic, not racist, and might get elected. I hate to watch this great country turn from a welcoming nation to a naive one. Yordan Yordanov, WEST YARMOUTH, MASS...
...skepticism, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence, that hiv is the principal cause of aids. Granted, his behind-the-scenes diplomacy has shown some success in forging a compromise between Mugabe and the opposition. Mbeki also has a point that some foreign activists assume a patrician, even racist, tone toward Africa's aids problem, and that factors such as poverty also contribute to the spread of the disease. But independent-minded stubbornness can look like callousness when millions of lives are at stake. Mbeki compounded his image problem, Gevisser argues, by not using the media effectively; his opponents' ability...
