"Racist" Red Cross pool safety posters being removed (vanity)
6/30/16

Posted on 06/30/2016 10:38:10 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

A follow-up to this post. My lovely wife, a Red Cross volunteer has been asked to go to the local public swimming facilities to collect those "horribly insensitive" posters. After all, the Red Cross is made up of volunteers who rely on donations. Never mind the flooding still goiong on in Texas and W Va, and that we're in the midst of hurricane season in FL, priorities are priorities, right? And at least 99% of the donors are either unaware of this non-controversy or don't give a rat's a** or are angry that the Red Cross would shamelessly capitulate to such idiocy. If the ARC is so concerned about bigotry, real or perceived perhaps they should investigate their partners in the Middle East, the Red Crescent about lingering issues of Jew-hatred. And for this hypersensitive lost soul who was so bent out of shape over these posters, the Red Cross offers mental health referral services for free. It would be in this individual's best interest to take advantage of these services, because getting offended for the sake of getting offended, while it may temporarily give one a sense of empowerment, if not superiority, is really no way to go through life.

If swimming pool related infractions are anywhere close to the real world illegal activities, we all know that the poster would be factual.

Why is it ‘not cool’ to dive off of the diving board into the clearly marked deep end of the pool?

I think it’s because the impatient black kid dove in before the white girl had cleared the area. Notice that the other white girl is waiting to get up on the diving board. Just a guess. So racess.

Because the diver is too close to another swimmer.

It’s racist alright. I’ve never seen a black lifeguard.

When I was in Marine Corps boot camp the DIs excoriated the Red Cross because of how they charged for coffee and donuts when others didn’t. This was confirmed by the Lt Col who swore me in. I’ve never given them any money since then.

He didn't wait for the girl to clear the area before diving. Note that the "cool" girl next in line is waiting for him to finish his dive before getting on the springboard.

I do not understand why the kid to the right of the bouy is not cool, unless that is a turd behind him.

Not Cool.

For the sake of accuracy, the “cool” White girl near the diving board is actually a White Hispanic.

I think that’s his foot (not a turd) and I have no idea what the problem is supposed to be.

They look tanned, because they’re out in the sun and swimming. Oh no!

I see two black kids doing “not cool” things, diving before clear and pushing someone in. I see two white kids doing “no cool” things, running and having some sort of bottle/beverage in the pool area. The “no cool” kid swimming, not sure with their point there.

People like the original guy who tweeted the Red cross will not be happy until they have “separate but equal” whitey free free facilities.
