I've got to wonder whether this True American Hero is aware of the fact that I'm white -- or that people who are white actually stand up and oppose racism, thinking that only blacks, Mexicans and other non-whites would protest against racism and hatred. As if someone has to be oppressed before they fight for and advocate rights for themselves, never for anyone else.

Well, here's a fairly good photograph of me out in the Mojave Desert about a mile or so from one of my underground desert hangouts. Note the honkey pale face? That's me.

From the hate email below, it would seem that this True American Hero believes that non-whites -- that is "mud people" or whatever the latest racist label used these days -- like me aren't human.

Sound familiar? Do you remember a time when Jews were also not human? And do you recall the consequences of that racist hate and bigotry?

This is what real Americans oppose.

Dear Mr. Rice,

I must inquire - have you recently fallen out of the stupid tree? Also, what do you think of the human race? I would like an outsider's opinion.

Sincerely,
Justin
