This story has lit up the phone lines on local Phoenix talk radio. I'm amazed that this story has been buried so deep, and no one has noticed till now.

Why stop with a mere statue?

What about CBS? Dan Rather's face could be digitally re-mastered to allow for more blacks on CBS. Dan would look great as a black. Why not?

Too many white faces on the pages of most newspapers? Add some tint, and turn them black. Politically correct balance. What could be better? Who would object?

And for the history books? The folks who flew planes into the WTC shouldn't be represented as only middle easterners. How racist. Throw in some Irish, Blacks, and Germans for this history books.

Yeah, love is hate. War is Peace.

I hope we at FreeRepublic can bring alot of attention to this absudity.

Did you all see this? Black National Anthem - Black nationalist flag

... the three white firefighters had been replaced by a more racially diverse trio of unidentified Fire Department staffers.

Notice they were staffers, not necessarily even Firefighters. Three secretaries in skirts and high heels (female and male) would sit better with the PC crowd in that city. Anything, but acknowledge the real heroes of the day.

If all three of those guys had been black, would they change it to include white guys? These three Firefighters were unacceptable because of their race. Isn't that racism?

This is quite outrageous and downright sick--a textbook example of what liberalism is all about. It took a really messed up mind to look at that picture and think of skin color of the men who were raising the flag, and declare them unworthy because they weren't "diverse". That's what this diversity garbage is all about--looking at people and seeing nothing but skin color. Those who say it is make us more "unified" and more "sensitive" are flat out lying. It is to do just the opposite.
