Compliments on Shredder (“No—just, no,” March 3). I share his confusion over COLAB, Caldwell, and Brown. I particularly liked his comment: “a white man will paint his face black so he can poke fun of a black Democrat in front of a roomful of drunk, privileged, white Republicans who paid $115 to be there.” This all taking place in the Chumash Casino.

The Chumash were the amazing native culture that was here for 10,000 years before we Europeans invaded about 300 years ago. I urge Andy Caldwell to respond to the Shredder.
