Idiots in charge. Everywhere.
Doubt they could have screwed this up worse.
Typical racist BS coming from typical racist BS’ers trying too hard to prove how they are not racist.
The black stamp isn’t even worth 3/5ths of the white stamp.
They would've been criticized for celebrating light skin with the cheapest everyday stamp in the series while relegating the darkest skin to heavier mail pieces which are rarely sent . . . and people of color can't afford.
There is no way to appease these jagoffs no matter what you do.
LOL. The message I get from this is that it takes two Italians to do the same job as one German.
The lighter ones are worth more!....................
Spain has the second largest number of unmarked mass graves in the world. They still have people living with neighbors who tortured them during the Franco years and even the current government refuses to help families identify relatives who were tortured, murdered and dumped in mass graves. So naturally they have a massive overreaction in the opposite direction and try to prove how progressive they are.
Surprised no Freeper has commented on that yet.
This has to be a joke.
The Spanish postal service “introduced them on the anniversary of George Floyd being killed.” This provides a little implied criticism of the United States, which is always a popular pastime in Europe.
In my opinion, the message was supposed to be something like, “Racism is really bad, and those backward Americans are the worst racists around! But we’re so much better - see, we’ve issued these really cool and sensitive anti-racist stamps!”
Meanwhile, the average Spaniards, many of whom are nice, regular, down-to-earth people, are probably laughing about the whole mess.
Hi-larious.
Sheesh.
Watch the U.S. Postal service follow suit.

>>The postal service calls them “Equality Stamps” and introduced them on the anniversary of George Floyd being killed by a police officer in Minneapolis. It said the stamps “reflect an unfair and painful reality that shouldn’t be allowed” and that every letter or parcel sent with them would “send a message against racial inequality.”
Meanwhile no stamps or international outrage over this.
Doesn’t fit the talking points.

No admission that he killed her as well. Absolute atrocity but no international outrage.

Great idea, I can now mail letters using the paint samples from Lowe’s.
BHWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAAAAAA...cough cough gasp...BWHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAA!!!!
Idiocy is strong in the Spanish Postal Service and government. Juan Carlos saved Spain from the Spanish Generals after Franco’s death. Who will save Spain from its government today?
I traveled there often during Franco’s time and post Franco. I am old. It has become a lovely nation I enjoy greatly. I and my Mexican wife speak Spanish. We really like Spain greatly. I fear it is succumbing to insane political correctness.
This is sad.
