Race relations in Warren County

An editorial in Monday's Vicksburg Post on the subject of race relations in Warren County stated that "The numbers (of the various races) don't matter nearly as much as people's acts and attitudes about other races. Warren County has a pretty good score on the inclusiveness scale." This writer, having interacted for over thirty years with citizens of all races represented here, agrees. There is crime and finger-pointing, of course, but the criminals and the malcontents are certainly not confined to a single race. Neither are the compassionate and the unselfish, who outnumber the former by a hundred to one. With the nation facing an uncertain future, it is essential that all peoples of Vicksburg and Warren County continue to maintain their respect for one another and to work side by side to preserve our common interests.
