Haven't We Learned Yet?

Can you believe that anyone in this day and age anyone could think of
this symbol as something funny? How could anyone do something like this
to a fellow human being and think of it as a joke? I see nothing funny
about it...

An airline employee decides to show a fellow worker a
noose during lunchtime. Then he decided that just showing it wasn’t enough; he also had to wave it around a bit, and then ask the person he was showing it to,
"Are you ready?” (Can you guess what race the two people were?) I swear, sometimes the stupidity of some white bigoted idiots makes me feel ashamed to be white. I just seriously hope that people of other races who are victims of this type of callous, idiotic “joking” can realize that there are more of us that totally DESPISE this type of person as well as their behavior than there are those who would find it funny. I truly hope that behaviors such as this will come to a halt very soon now!

Please help to put an END to all of this childishness.
Hating anyone because they are slightly different than we are is silly, and it’s got to stop.

This article was sent to me by a very good friend of mine that I'm trying to convince to be a regular contributor. He has very strong feelings against racism of ANY kind, which just goes to show that racism is NOT something that is influenced by your environment. He was raised in an extremely racist family, and grew up to realize not only that it was not the way he wanted to be, he realized that it was wrong.
