America is full of oversensitive pansies. This rampant pussification has been steadily growing like the mold you found on the leftover tuna casserole that’s been abandoned in the bottom drawer of the fridge for several months. And much like said fungus, it has finally grown to the point where there’s almost no place left that’s free of the disease.
The latest example that has been floating around the news was the incident where a Department of Homeland Security employee managed to offend somebody with their Halloween costume. For those unaware or too lazy to read the link, I’ll summarize: Some dude who works for the immigration arm of the DHS shows up to the Halloween party wearing a striped prison jumpsuit, dark skin makeup, and dreadlocks. He gets praised by everyone for his creativity, or at least until someone noticed he was wearing makeup to make his skin look darker. Mass hysteria ensues as the man is put on administrative leave and an investigation is launched.
What’s the big deal here? Is he trying to imply through his costume choice that all blacks are criminals? Doubtful. The guy dresses up as a black inmate and somehow it’s considered inappropriate. How much you wanna bet that the person(s) who took offense were white? People love to get upset and make a scene for the sole purpose of trying to prove to others that they aren’t racist or insensitive. Get a grip.
Even if this guy is the most racist dung wad to walk the earth since Al Sharpton, there are still a few problems with this whole situation. First off, they put the guy on administrative leave. That means he’s still being paid, except now he’s not actually doing any work to deserve it. Congratulations America. Your tax dollar is helping to pay for this guy to sit around at home and watch The Price Is Right. If that isn’t bad enough, consider the following: The Department of Homeland Security is actually spending time and money to investigate fucking Halloween costumes!!!
All of this because someone has to bitch and moan every time they don’t like something they see. Some people need to get a sense of humor and shut up instead of constantly crying foul and making a big deal out of nothing.
believe some grown adults who have a job behave no better than brats. Those
kinds of people don't deserve life. At least when I complain about something, I
don't go screwing with people's lives over it. Posted by Xelger at 5:21am on Nov/11/2007
