Editor:
Leonard Pitts Jr. is totally wrong (“All too often in America, white is the default position,” Reading Eagle, Jan. 31). Inexact language is the culprit in America. If one is not born in Africa, one is not African American, just as one is not German American, Mexican American or Chinese American unless born in that respective country. I ask that Pitts please help unify America and correct his language misconception. It is the culprit from him, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and so many others, especially in the media.
Look at Genesis 1:26 — “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness.…” We have been created in the image of God. There is no color, no country, no heritage in that.
