This morning as I exercised in the hotel fitness room, the television was tuned to HLN. The reporter read a story in a totally neutral tone about a billboard that had been taken down, because of its message: “The most dangerous place for an African-America is in the womb.” The billboard message was obviously placed by an anti-abortion group and created a major uproar.
The next story, read in an oh-how-sad tone was about dead baby dolphins washing up on the Gulf shores.
Oh, the irony.
In our society it is perfectly acceptable to intentionally kill unborn African-American babies, but we are supposed to feel guilty that our actions (i.e. the Gulf oil spill) may be causing dolphin deaths.
Something is radically wrong with our collective reasoning.
