You really should start to pay attention…

Scribbling some perspective on Canada, Ottawa and whatever else crosses my mind…
… although I completely realize that MOST Americans are NOT like these buffoons… still….
Check this out.
An elementary school in a place called Prescott, Arizona is a pretty diverse place to be. White, blacks and Mexican Americans all attend and, well, they seem to get along.
I say they seem to get along because recently there was a vote taken by the kids on what their new school mural should look like. And guess what, they chose one that depicts their own faces.. the white one, brown ones and black ones.
OK. If you are prone to high BP when you see or read something that is so fucking warped (no, I don’t use that word in these spaces that often, but this merits the f-bomb), that you can literally feel the blood pounding thorough your arteries, then sit down before reading on.
The mural has been defaced. The kids have been taunted by cowardly racist slurs. Even a local politician, who also happens to be a talk radio host (my note: why doesn’t that surprise me) has taken up the “cause”, demanding that the faces be “lightened” or that the mural be removed completely!
This how Wonkette describes things:
Again – this is an ELEMENTARY school: Kindergarten to Grade 5.
What shit is this? How can there be such crap that still goes on in this seemingly “enlightened” and progressive society to the south?
Some morons are even saying that is more Obama propaganda!
So, you’d think the school would tell these racist assholes to hit the road, right?
Noooo…
NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE???????
Crap. I have to stop writing. I feel my own BP going up!
