Letter on the Brother Man incident

Dear, Editor
            I am writing this letter to let you know about a cruel act which was set upon a person which I have witnessed and has left me shocked to see how one could turn on their neighbor, just because of how he wears his hair and his beliefs.  This vicious attack sadly fell upon a man called Brother Man which shouldn’t have happened.  What one chooses to wear his hair doesn’t define who he is. A man is defined by his character and his beliefs. A person religion is a part of them, you may not quite understand it but you should try to see it through their eyes before you make judgment and also if the religion a person take part in has been with them most of the years of their life, you can’t expect them to change just because of your views, whose not to say your religion is the wrong one. It has crushed and devastated me to see how people go as far too almost killing a man who they once look to for spiritual guidance and healings, just because someone decided that having beard and being Rastafarian means you’re a rapist, thief and a killer. I truly think that this is a major issue and it should be dealt with before someone is killed the next time people decide to have hatred towards Rasta farites.
I thank you for taking time out to read my letter of concern.

                                                                                                                  Yours Truly,
                                                                                                                Concerned Citizen
