In the wake of violence in Charlottesville in 2017, a Salt Lake City resident named Jonna Ramey wrote an open letter to white nationalists that was titled, “What Is Wrong With You?” Her letter was published in The Salt Lake Tribune and was soon read by millions.
At Letters Live at New York City's The Town Hall back in 2018, acting legend Edie Falco joined us to read it.

Although I share her hatred of white supremacists, I think the lady who wrote that letter has a rosey view of American history. I don't think we went to war with Nazi Germany because we were offended by their anti-democratic system of government. We worked with the USSR during that war and we supported nasty regimes during the Cold War (apartheid South Africa among others). She also claims "we did not fight so that white people could claim supremacy". After WW2, a large chunk of the US population supported segregation and fought the civil rights movement tooth and nail. I don't know why her letter gained so much traction.
