Topical melanin

Editor:Up until today, I respected Aaron Howard for his strength and pride in

the black community, but now some of that has slipped away.

It seems he has chosen to give up someone he loves ("Interracial dating,

social responsibility collide," Oct. 27) merely because of her skin color.

Is that racist or just superficial?

Well, I just have to say I'm sorry. Sorry that social pressure has

forced him away from this girl - whomever she is. Sorry that he values

melanin more than emotion. And most of all, I am so sorry that he has not

yet learned to look beyond color, and love "another."Rob Shifter
