A Red Cross Hospital signboard that carried a "super racist" message about swim safety guidelines for children prompted an apology from the hospital on Tuesday.
The dialogue opened on Twitter after a photo circulated of the poster in Fort Morgan, Colorado. The poster, which has since been taken down, read at the top: "Be Cool, Follow the Rules." Below the heading were depictions of children playing. The white children were labeled as behaving "cool" while children of color were depicted as misbehaving, or "not cool," for breaking pool safety rules.
Red Cross has since confirmed that it has discontinued the production of the poster and has already removed it from the hospital's website and Swim App.

Sadly, you'll have to click on the link to see the pic, I cant post pics from here..
Pretty funny. the Red Cross is very politically correct.
Summary: NO dark-skinned individuals are ever allowed to be shown breaking any rules.
There are white kids labeled uncool in the poster as well, but granted that there are no dark skinned kids labeled cool. Still, kind of a trivial thing to get all bent out of shape about.
Goes back to WWII, when they charged our boys for coffee and never the Allies.
They have all different skin colors ‘not cool’ from what I can tell (without my glasses on).
To be fair, of the four “not cool” examples only three of them are non-white cartoon characters. One “”Not cool” is white
And there are only two “cool” examples, so just because they are both white can’t be considered statistically significant.
“people of color.”
I DEMAND EQUAL RECOGNITION OF MY COLOR!!! When do I want it? NOW.
Yep. Charged them for sandwiches and a cup of joe. Disgusting.
The cool dark-skinned lifeguard in position of authority isn’t good ENOUGH.
Someone has too much time on their hands to get their undies in a bunch over this! (I’m not saying you cardinal4!)
“...she immediately reported her concerns to the lifeguard on duty”
Going off the deep end.
Looks about right to me.
Cartoon sounds about right, should have added a white kid being pummeled for good measure, and a turd or two floating in the pool...............
A very thin book: Champion black swimmers.
Once upon a time, it had power and meant something. Now, not.
I understand they also visited, inspected and approved National Socialist Workers’ Party “internment” camps, too.
Thanks for posting the pic.
I’m old enough to remember where this type of whining would be considered embarrassing. Now its on the nightly news..
This just defies belief. We have begun to see racist meals, many levels of aggressions, while our country crumbles.
PC is guaranteed self imposed mental retardation.
