Mr. Curley,<br> <br>Yes, it is totally possible that someone can be opposed to immigration and the individual living choices of a group of people without being a bigot.<br> <br> However, when those persons ONLY file complainants against Black people, has a history of only filing complaints against Black people, says publicly they hate Black people, makes derogatory comments against Black people almost everyday, and they have said publicly they are trying to drive Black people from town, then chances are slim to none that they are not bigots.<br> <br> Such is the case with this group of people against New St. Andrews. <br> <br> Mr. Curly, what further reasonable evidence do you want demonstrated that they not doing this for concern for living conditions of our communities members but because they are trying to bring injury to a group of people they disagree with on theological reasons? <br> <br> _DJA<br> <br> <br><br><b><i>Michael Curley
