It was supposed to be a nice gesture from students at the Piedmont Governor's School in Martinsville.

Each student made a quilt square.

But one representing their journey learning about the area with a black stick figure offended councilwoman Sharon Brooks-Hodge.

Did even one white person work on or contribute to the quilt? Then it’s going to be offensive to African-Americans.

We’re told it will stay in an office until city council makes a decision whether or not to hang it up. If it does get approved, it will have a disclaimer describing the quilt square.

Oh brother.

One more example of how ANY hyphenated American will always be a lessor and lower class American.

If you define yourself every waking moment by race, color, sex, country of your ancestors ... you have shown yourself to be so ignorant of what it is to be an American maybe you might want to go back to the country/culture you love more than the USA. We would be very happy to see you go.

I hope I offended the permanently offended crowd.

Dealing with any of these xyz-American debris is like a tug of war where too many are pulling on the rope sideways. We don’t need your hyphenated, divisive kind. Bad enough our abomination of administration is filled with your type.

She says the quilt is offensive to African Americans.

You are OFFENSIVE to people with BRAINS, Ms Brooks-Hodge!!
