American Red Cross apologizes for poster some call racist

Updated 5:54 pm, Monday, June 27, 2016

DENVER (AP) — The American Red Cross issued an apology Monday for a water safety poster that some suggested had a racist message.

The cartoon poster showed children playing in a swimming pool. Nearly all of the white children's activities were labeled as "cool," while the children of color were depicted acting in unsafe ways and were labeled "not cool."

3. "In America... we are culturally conditioned to believe

that white is superior, black is inferior, and the manifestation of that cultural conditioning is that blacks are underestimated, undervalued, and marginalized
".

-Joe Madison

Like the 1993 AT&T ad that depicted every continent with human on the phone, except Africa, where they used a gorilla instead.
The part in bold---that is typically an attitude associated with the left, that black people cannot succeed without the help of someone else.

5. lol how subtle (not)

4 black kids doing wrong and only 2 white. About 8 white kids and 7 black kids.

Statistically speaking that should be about right.

Hell, I'm surprised that the DUmmies aren't complaining about the lack of gay couples & transgenders.

Also, that poster looks like it is 40 years old.

The Red Cross should send out the same exact poster except make all of the kids with zebra stripes so they will have all of the color spectrum covered.

Rainbow colors might be more apt.

Good grief!

What I would be more outrage is where the money goes after its donated.

The Red Cross should have said they were all white kids, just some had tans and some were soulless gingers.   :-)

I draw the line at soulless gingers.  Nobody can defend them

Shudder.  Every freckle on a ginger represents a stolen soul.

I had my oldest believing for the longest time that you get a new freckle if somebody farts in your face (he's got a few)
