How do people this stupid manage to get elected? Here is a link to the video of this stupid woman, and the picture in question. http://www.wset.com/video?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=8816365 LOCAL VA COUNCILWOMAN INTERRUPTS CLASS PRESENTATION OF COMMUNITY QUILT TO LECTURE STUDENTS ON USINGâ¦BLACK STICK FIGURE It was supposed to be a proud moment. It ended up being a controversial one. And all over a seemingly innocent quilt. A group of high school juniors from Piedmont Governorâs School in Martinsville, VA, were presenting a quilt to the local city council they made as part of a class project. Students were in the midst of explaining the individual squares they had made in a fairly non-controversial way. That is until one student started describing an enlightening experience. âWe got to walk across the Philpott Dam and the small black person represents us before we learned all the information and then the bigger gold person is how he feels after heâs been enriched with all the different knowledge,â a female student explained. She was abruptly interrupted. âExcuse me. Um, why is the small black person the negative image?â Councilwoman Sharon Brooks-Hodge said. The student was taken aback and tried to explain: âItâs not negative. Itâs just showing how much we increased.â Brooks-Hodge wasnât buying it: âI take offense to that.â âI didnât mean to make it offensive,â another student tried to explain. But Brooks-Hodge wasnât done, setting her sights on not only the students but the teachers: âWhoever reviewed that to make a small black person the before and the gold which you are afterwards, considering you only talked to 10 percent of black people in a city thatâs 45 percent African-American, I take offense to that and I hope that you do not display that.â
They better display it, no apologies, no explanation. I get so sick of these spineless people backing out of something because they 'offended' someone. If she gets racism out of it, that's her fucking problem.
I just saw on the local news there are now calls for removing or changing the carving on Stone Mountain, GA because the images are supposedly "hurtful" to the black community. http://www.stonemountainpark.com/activities/history-nature/Confederate-Memorial-Carving.aspx
Black people need White people. They shouldn't get offended all the time. Look at what happens to the cities where they live, after white people leave..... Black civilizations are inferior to White civilizations and they need to acknowledge this. They should show some humility and gratitude to White people for rescuing them from their home continent, and paying for their welfare, housing, medical treatment (thanx Obummer), and incarceration (they would not be treated so well in the Old West).....
