    You know, the ongoing dialogue on issues of race will never evolve past name calling if the media blitz on the issue does not relent.

    No different than all the Television Commercials these days depicting Whites as ignorant and the "Smart" Black Guy coming to their rescue. 

    Ms. Sawyer should have just dealt with it.  Red Cross was "the bigger person" to apologize in this particular case.

    Very hard to believe this is the year 2016 and we as a Nation cannot heal and are still dealing with this krap.  1960's riots, Rodney King, OJ Simpson, eight years of Black Presidency.

    HOW LONG?

    HOW LONG DOES THIS NONSENSE CONTINUE???

    Was thinking the same thing

    Coincidentally I believe a certain poster was travelling through Colorado with his mom at the time of these complaints

    {Below the heading were depictions of children playing. The white children were labeled as behaving "cool" while children of color were depicted as misbehaving, or "not cool," for breaking pool safety rules.}

    Now, c'mon now, let's be fair, there is the one "Not Cool" instance with the Pervy "Tom Cruise" looking dude with the blackout shades carrying a beer up in the right hand corner of the picture who most likely doesn't have a child there, and just came "to watch".

    Also, I didn't see any Asians or Indians in the picture, and a very low parent/guardian to child ratio, and those white kids look pretty "Double Wide" dwelling to me. All in all, I'd say a pretty accurate depiction of a public toilet...... I mean pool....

    Spot on Red Cross, job well done.
