LETTERS, Page 6Death in Bensonhurst
Some members of the Bensonhurst community were heard
proclaiming their 100% Italian origins to the African-American
demonstrators who marched through their neighborhood mourning Yusuf
Hawkins' murder (NATION, Sept. 11). It made me think of the black
American G.I.s who fought in Italy during World War II, trying to
rid that ancient land of its homegrown Fascist regime and its Nazi
allies. Funny how one generation's savior is another's "animal,
crackhead, nigger," to name a few of the epithets hurled at the
peaceful marchers.

You say that "there are streets in white America where a black
man dares not tread." You neglected to add, "There are streets in
black America where a white man dares not tread."
