In response to Kevin Tully’s letter of 22 January, I found statements that I both agreed with and found troubling. I agree that individuals can be ignorant of facts through dysfunctional upbringing and over-reliance on media/news/internet/social media. There are no perfect cultural groups (Caucasian, African-American, Latino, Asian, etc.) - all have biases, hence no perfect individuals. I also agree that neighborhoods and community are where ideas/actions begin - the grass roots.
