Letter: Community won’t stand for hate, discrimination

Swastika in yard serves as another example that the “happy bubble” we call the Bay Area is far from it.

Community won’t stand
for hate, discrimination

Re: “East Bay community to owner of swastika lawn art: Get rid of it” (Eastbaytimes.com, June 12):

This serves as yet another example that the “happy bubble” we call the Bay Area is far from it.

Some residents are living as if we are still in Nazi Germany and it is unfortunate that this is happening so close to home.

Steven Johnson confusingly describes that he had no idea he would get a negative reaction to the massive swastika on the middle of his front lawn.

It is 2019, we do not tolerate any form of hate; but the main thing Johnson seems to be concerned about is the $800 he spent making the abominable symbol.

Whether he was just plain ignorant over the fact, or truly did not realize what he did, we will never know. But what we do know is that in our community, we do not stand for hate and discrimination but love and acceptance.
