American Red Cross apologizes for 'super racist' pool safety poster

Ace Yonder said:
He's not white, he's an African Albino, you just can't tell because the sunglasses are covering his red eyes and he has his hair dyed. They are so racist they saw through the illustration and labeled him NOT COOL because deep down they knew the truth.

This, ladies and gentlemen, it what happens when you can't discuss a subject intelligently. Lame attempts at humor.

As opposed to you picking and choosing the parts of the poster that you don't like? Out of the 7 people labeled NOT COOL, 3 of them are white. But you see "showing black children committing pool infractions as white children are shown acting appropriately". 3 out of 7 are white, yet " it's basically only POC in the poster who are not cool". You just see what you want to see.

I stopped reading at "you picking". I didn't pick anything. I read an article that I happen to agree with, and the Red Cross already apologized. So there's that.

So you didn't pick anything, you just mindlessly parroted back someone else's argument? Way to think for yourself! Did you use your own words, or did you just plagiarize the whole thing?

So mentioning the fact that I happened to agree with the article means that I'm mindless? What a peculiar line of thinking that is.

You said you didn't pick anything about the poster that you didn't like, you just agreed with an article, so you don't want to listen to discussions about it. That's what YOU said. So either you have opinions, and they are open to question and debate, or you don't have opinions because you didn't think about it for yourself, and therefore you are mindless. It's simple logic.

Lol, when did I say that I didn't have an opinion? Slow down slugger, you're trying to hard.

Nice try. My opinion is that I agree with the article, or did you forget that part?

You agree with the article but you have not picked any parts of the poster that you don't like, i.e. you have no opinion on which parts of the poster offend you, you just think its racist because that's what the article said, which you then presumably plagiarized. That's what YOU said. I'm not responsible for your self contradiction.

Exactly which part of "I agree with the article" are you struggling with? It seems so straight forward to me.

Whatever, you dance around things more than a politician. This all started because you didn't want to take responsibility for your own quotes. If you don't want to support the things you have said, that's fine. I'll just take the win and move on. I have no vested interest in arguing with a coward.

Lol
 
Yea, I'm not really seeing "super racist" in this poster.

How do we know that the kid in the middle of the pool isn't Indian? If he is, then the only one not being cool is the girl pushing that dumb slut into the pool.

Diving is cool. Running is also cool, and notice how the white kid is following the black kid running? If anything that is showing leadership.

I'm calling this one.. not racist.
 
I guess letting shit like this bother you is what happens when you have nothing better to do.

Get. Over. It.

No, BK, that is what happens when your panties are permanently stuck in the crack of your ass over every real or perceived slight, however inconsequential. You wind up on the butt end of jokes, some lame and some biting.

Like your thread about about privatized prisons. I agree that privatizing prisons is a terrible idea. It creates a conflict of interest that will almost certainly cause pain and suffering for people. Then you went off on your racial slant and I lost interest and your point was drowned out by your incessant whining.

You see, that's the thing about white privilege. It's so fucking entrenched, that you have the audacity to sit here and think that it's somehow your right to tell me when to be offended.
