Editor’s Note: Recent events in Cleveland County and in Washington, DC indicate that words such as Racist, Racism, Bigot, etc. do nothing but divide people and make informed discussion impossible. This Op-Ed by Rev. Dante Murphy of the Southern Coalition for Equal Protection Under the Law (SCEPUL) adds a useful prospective to the fact that words such as Racist, Racism, Bigot, etc. causes the narrative to shift away from what is often the real problem-CORRUPTION.
