Newark Hospital Hazing????

http://www.nj.com/starledger/stories/index.ssf?/base/news-13/1215837310188710.xml&coll=1
A UMDNJ paramedic, identified by university officials as Timothy Prahm, adjusts sheets draped over two Northeastern University students working this summer at University Hospital in Newark. Prahm and two other UMDNJ paramedics have been fired, and university officials say an investigation into the July 6 incident continues.


In today's day and age I am not shocked at the mindset of racist or biased people. What I am shocked with is the fact that anyone in this day and age would even attempt to get away with such a blatant act of the sort. This happening in the middle of a predominately black city once called the "chocolate city" is appalling......

I mean really with cameras on phones, and everything being caught on tape this is just sad........

No one learned from; Michael Richardson, Don Imus, Geraldine Ferraro and the list goes on. If you are planning to think your comments/actions will go unnoticed then you are more ignorant then your own personal ideas of biased-ness....

Just recently, a longtime Washington talk-show host John McLaughlin was facing fire Monday for referring to Barack Obama as an "Oreo" during a segment on his Sunday political program, "The McLaughlin Group.

“The invitation to the Saturday night party, posted on the Web site Facebook, described Baltimore as “the hiv pit” and encouraged attendees to wear “regional clothing from our locale” such as bling bling ice ice, grills,” and hoochie hoops.”
“A picture of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice accompanied the posted invitation, BSU members said.”” ps we STILL don’ discriminate against hoodrats, skig skags, or scallywhops,” it read.”
The Baltimore Sun reports that Johns Hopkins Black Student Union is protesting the behavior of the white fraternity linked to this Halloween Hood Party. I know want to address the comments readers left on the Baltimore Sun message board.


This is something that systematically occurs throughout our culture and others..... For some education on this I suggest reading...

With people running around that still to this day don't see the problems with what they have or are doing we have to be more careful not to give them ammunition in the form of satire that obviously is way over their heads, as they wont get it and will try to justify their own actions based on it.
