RACISM: Let it end

Aren’t we ALL human beings?

Racist haters of Coeur d’Alene Indians — say it isn’t so in March 2018!?

My name is Margaret Agnes Coffey, a 53-year-old Coeur d’Alene/Yupik Indian woman. And proud of it. Why would non-Indian (white) people continue to pass on their racist views to their family, friends and community?

What does Mr. Hagadone have to say about this subject? I would love to hear from him.

How much money does Kootenai County Jail make off my Tribe?

Does any non-Indian know what the city name “Coeur d’Alene” means?

Who paid for the Kroc Center?

I would hope more important issues like Drug and Alcohol, education problems with schools, bullying problems with kids would be on the table for white people AND Indians.

We teach our kids about TEAMWORK (sports for example), WORKING TOGETHER to teach the important moral values. I have two children, a son and daughter. I tell them a lot, “Help me help you.”

I will pray hard about “you white people” … not to pass the racist hateful feelings you have about our so-called alcoholic/drug addict “Indians.”
