Hello Mr. Scarborough,

Part of me says to stop reading you and especially don't put in any time to try and change such a partisan mind, and the other part of me is writing this to you now.

It seems you are very caught up in liberal versus conservative, black versus white and you display it to me each time I read your material. In many ways sir, I feel very sorry for you that you cannot fully appreciate all your human brothers as equals and have to beat down on some like strawmen.

Everyone is worthwhile in their own right, is what I might say to you given the chance. I would remind you that this world that we float along on isn't ours. We are having a good run of it right now, but the winds feel like they are shifting a bit don't they? What with AIDS and some of our over-consumption, environmentally destructive ways catching up with us?

I would encourage you to use your public voice for a message of unity and finding the commonness between us. We share 99+% of our DNA afterall, we are all so similar. We truly have some impending, scary common problems that we could all focus on and direct our energy and words towards. It must get boring fighting strawmen and umongst ourselves, doesn't it? Help us all move on.
