Let's just say when it piles on you start to notice a pattern. You realize that black kids are punished more harshly for the same offenses at school than white kids. These subtle messages perpetrate at every level and lead to different game outcomes.

As my lifeguard friend said, black kids are more likely to drown in a pool. And here is why:

Some people really need to get a life. This is what a society that has come off the rails looks like people when this type of nonsense becomes "news" and people get worked up over it.

Perhaps the "activists" concerned should concentrate their outrage to something truly more productive/worthy like addressing all the inner city kids/young adults getting killed in places with lots of violence that is out of control in places like Chicago. Yet here they are concerned about a poster.

Can't believe people would waste their time on something like a poster. Being PC has become adult tattle tales. Ridiculous.

This is getting ridiculous. There should be a master key for those that can be offended. Next thing we will hear about is that it was not PC to represent the kids as males or females as that would be offensive to some. I mean, just look at the bathing suits, it's clearly separating boys and girls.

Yes, it's a plan by a group of people to send subliminal racist messages to the masses.
It's all part of the GRAND PLAN I TELL YA!

With all that threatens our species and way of life, this is what enrages people?
I'm sure when the Red Cross promotes a poster where all the white kids are misbehaving, those who now complain will be satisfied.

The Red Cross' response should have been different. Somebody needs to start standing up to the race baiters.

BTW...Why is the Red Cross spending money on creating posters such as this? What did that poster cost to produce, and how much will it cost to replace it? I'm sure there are needy families somewhere that would benefit from that money.
