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.

what a twisted demon that idiot councilwoman is

I hate that phrase “I am offended!” my clients regularly use that phrase as if it is meaningful and I disabuse them quite hastily of the notion that they have the right to not be offended.

Where in the Constitution does it declare that no one should ever be offended?

There's always an idiot around. Last time I got involved in a 'black color' dispute it concerned the Viet Nam Veterans Memorial ~ 'they' ~ people like the Brooks-Hodge woman, but a different color, wanted to denounce the design by calling it a 'black gash of shame'.

Didn't work then and shouldn't work now.

So, so tired of this “how does every frigging thing around me affect me or offend me as a black person” in your face attitude that colors virtually everything a governmental representative says or does.

That crap don’t cut it any more - falling on deaf ears — bark it up another tree, honey..... Unh uh, talk to the hand!

The only racist in the room was the black lady. Seems like “black” and “racist” are interchangeable words in this new world.

Please note the NAACP’s statement that the cause of the problem is that the “young man” had not been properly indoctrinated yet.

If THIS is the worst thing that occurred to that reprehensible woman on that day, she’s living a pretty nice life.

Some people live for the opportunity to be “offended.”

When it comes to local black politicians finding racism under every rock, it is now impossible to distinguish parody from reality.

Someone need to tell the b!tch to go p!$$ up a rope.

Better yet, ALL the students should declare that they are OFFENDED by the idiot councilwoman’s BIGOTRY and INTOLERANCE.

If the stick figure had been white, she would have been offended that no black children were represented in the quilt. She was determined to be offended either way.

somehow ms offended didn’t have anything to say about the black figure doing parkour lol In fact most of the figures used in signage are always black... has nothing to do with race.

I have to say, in general these sort of student projects are inane and a waste of time. Why on earth do we need a quilt displayed anywhere, that shows what they learned about parkour???? Maybe these teachers should have the students work on projects that actually matter.

The student should have told the Councilwoman, “well Ma’am, maybe when you’re big and golden you’ll understand the quilt and not be offended.”

Where in the constitution is the caluse that gives the small racist black minority the power to dictate standards to the entire country?

My answer to anyone is “If you don’t like what I do or say, tough. Deal with it” and then walk away.
