The Issue: A sports journalist’s allegations of racism against a young Kansas City Chiefs fan.
A young Kansas City Chiefs fan named Holden Armenta goes to a game with his face painted and wearing a headdress — like many other fans (“Left’s racism paint smear,” Kirsten Fleming, Nov. 30).
Then he is singled out by a journalist named Carron Phillips.
Why didn’t Phillips attack a grown man, one may ask? The answer is simple: A grown man would fight back.
Writers like Phillips are why trust in the media has plummeted. Picking on a child is unfair, but sadly, many writers these days can’t get published without seeking controversy.
Hopefully the Chiefs will step up and rectify this outrage. One thing is for sure: The NFL won’t do a thing.

Phillips’ abilities as a writer were clearly lacking, so he looked for a controversial subject to get attention.
What Phillips needs to do is take anger-management classes, rather than raging about a 9-year-old painting his favorite team’s colors on his face.
Only someone who is a little unstable could lambaste a child.
It is better that we turn the page whenever we come across articles written by race-baiters like Phillips.

Kudos to Kirsten Fleming for her excellent article on Phillips’ false accusation against a Chiefs fan — a child no less — because of the youngster’s costume for rooting for his team.
Phillips’ piece is a great example of playing the racism card — a thoroughly worn-out concept at this point. It’s people such as Phillips who fuel the flames of racism.
The child’s family should seek monetary damages for slander. If you can sue someone for stupidity, then that should happen as well.

To look at that young boy and see anything other than a kid who is proud of his team speaks volumes.
Because of Phillips’ biased article, a mother had to comfort her child and try to explain the mixed-up world we live in. Pray, give her strength.
Hopefully, this embarrassment will encourage others to think twice before slinging mud.

The Issue: Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger’s death at age 100 on Wednesday.
The world has lost a great statesman, diplomat, author and scholar (“Kissinger dead at 100,” Nov. 30).
Among Henry Kissinger’s numerous accomplishments are the opening of relations with China, détente with the Soviet Union, ending the Vietnam War and the truce ending the Yom Kippur War.
His diplomacy was legendary; it led to relationships with world leaders. He never lost sight of the fact that peace and stability are products of a world order.
He will be remembered as one of history’s great diplomats.
Kenneth Fitzgerald
Hicksville
At 100, the man who attended the funerals of many leaders with whom he engaged in diplomacy has died.
After Richard Nixon was elected president in 1968, Kissinger — first as national security adviser and later as secretary of state — used all available political tools to maintain his influence.
Despite violating international law in waging a secret war in Cambodia and orchestrating bombings in Vietnam, Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973.
Rosalynn Carter, a noted humanitarian, died within days of Kissinger. The differences in their legacies are stark and highlight Kissinger’s shortcomings.
