This is a CLEAR and OBVIOUS move to politically GRANDSTAND on
a non-issue. Wilson plans to run with Davis in the upcoming
March election and this is a PR stunt to gain votes on a
"racial bias" platform. If the NAACP was so against
this figment of their imagination, then WHY don't they write
the letter to Hallmark? Because it would be as useless as a
City Council letter, that is why.
Read the article!!!
DID you NOT read where it said that Hallmark already removed
the item from inventory? Why did the two ladies in the
picture come to City hall and ask the public for help in
locating one of the questionable cards? They KNEW that the
cards were scarce because they already KNEW Hallmark pulled
the inventory. If a retail location still had the card out
for sale, write a letter to that store, or talk to the
manager.
Clearly, this borders on censorship of our 1st Amendment right
to free speech and expression. Even if it was offensive
"sounding", it was CLEARLY UNINTENTIONAL and all
Americans have that constitutional right to FREE SPEECH!
Do I subscribe to demeaning racial slurs? I most certainly do
not. Am I racist? I assure you that I am not.
But I must digress; clearly the underlying current of this
issue is to make these ladies appear as champions of racial
equality, maybe even in their minds to the level of Rosa Parks
or the beloved Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As the DB put it,
"thinly veiled". Thinly veiled covering the deceit
of a hidden political agenda!!
Sorry ladies, your are about 3 years TOO LATE with your
indignation.
