who reallycares

shut up and cry me a river. if it was a black (negro) dress up like the naacp whould you fire them. Because they are no different then the KKK. white people get a heart and stand up for yourself you cowards.....

I do

The NAACP, an organization dedicated to improving the status of a people who have been repeatedly disenfranchised in this country is the same as the KKK, a terrorist organization dedicated to harming American citizens? Great argument.

Also, hazing like this is illegal, so yes, a black person would be fired for the same thing.

no it got ridiculous

first of all, no one actually forced these people to dress up like this, so the idea that only the EMT's, and not the interns, are being disciplined is ridiculous. i live near where this happened and i am seeing this in the news all the time, people calling it "horrific." it's not horrific. murder is horrific, rape is horrific, crimes against children are horrific. there is such a circus around this that it's hard to take it seriously.

what are you talking about?

Anthony Berry,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean--didn't the KKK kill people, especially during the 1960s? Does the NAACP have a record of killing Catholics, Jews, and blacks?
