Letters

To the editor:
I want to thank readers for letters about costumes worn during the premiere of “The Help.” I organized the party, and I want to explain why.
After reading this story and discussing it, I was amazed at how many could relate to it.
One lady who was raised during the time said to me, “I was raised by a black lady. She was family to me. And when she hugged me, I really felt love. I felt safe. There was nothing like it.”

To the editor:

I attended the opening of the movie “The Help” at Coastal Cinemas in Shallotte on Aug. 10. I am here to tell you I have never been more ashamed of white people in my life. 

To the editor:

Please tell me where to find the fuzzy button on my calculator. The same one Brunswick County used to figure my property tax bill for 2011. My property value went down $48,110, but my tax bill went up $94.92.
