Rodricks insults white males

Indiana governor and Donald Trump's vice presidential running mate Mike Pence explains why he won't call former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke "deplorable," saying "I'm not in the name-calling business." Sept. 13, 2016. (C-SPAN)

I no longer read Dan Rodricks' column because it has become so simplistic and predictable.

However, when a buddy told me about a recent commentary in which Mr. Rodricks claimed that white males hate Hillary Clinton and that their animosity has more to do with Ms. Clinton's gender than anything else, I had to check it out ("Given positive economic trends, Trump a big risk," Sept. 17).

I had thought not even The Sun, with its known biases, would print such an obviously racist and sexist comment about millions of people. I suspect the piece never would have made it through the editing process if the population Mr. Rodricks insulted had been anything other than "white males."

I would remind readers that it was Bill Clinton who had sexual relations with a White House intern and other women while Hillary Clinton, his wife, called his accusers liars.

I would also remind readers that the last known Ku Klux Klan member to have served in Congress was Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd, who Ms. Clinton lauded as a mentor in 2010.

Perhaps Mr. Rodricks could write an article about Ms. Clinton and her "deplorable" KKK mentor.
