The Daily Tar Heel

TO THE EDITOR:

Really, Mr. Tucker? Really, UNC? A hate movement? Yes, because that’s truly the “American” way.

I can’t see how this is any different from how Hitler rallied the world into hating the Jews.

I am grieved and ashamed to see such powerful words like “hate” circulating around UNC in fliers and in the newspaper, and getting away with it ’neath the mask of “just a game.”

Let’s not flatter ourselves with such sense when we cannot even sense the strong, abusive use of the word ‘hate’.

There is nothing effective in hate movements and nothing admirable in resorting to fallacies of ad hominem abusive strategies — name-calling.

You’ve only brought shame upon your own head in publicizing this article and movement, and I would like to declare that you do not represent the true Carolina spirit or way. Go Heels — go for reals!
