Letter to the Editor
Silence May or May Not Be Golden

Dear Editor, Silence may or may not be

Thank you for reading The Standard newspaper online!

White Nationalist, patriot are not interchangeable

Dear Editor,

Read Don Heck’s letter from the Sept. 15 edition. While I agree with much of what he espouses; although I question his denigration of the media in general, if the facts are reported and you don’t like what you read / hear, you cannot just lambaste reports as fake news.

I have to say, Mr. Heck does know how to put a spin on his opinion though. His quote, “Author – An old white Nationalist … is a real patriot,” would lead most to think he is a nationalist who is white. However, do as he suggests. Google “White Nationalist.” There you find the ugly truth. “White Nationalism is a type of nationalism or pannationalism which espouses the belief that white people are a race and seeks to develop and maintain a white national identity. Its proponents identify with and are attached to the concept of a white nation … focusing on the alleged inferiority of non-whites.”

White Nationalist is surely not what Mr. Hicks professes he is, because that would be deplorable.
