Just when you thought things in America couldn’t get any worse, a white manager decided to make fun of the death of Sandra Bland. How someone could even think that mocking her death was in any way ok, just makes me wonder how sad some people in this country really are.
Here are the details via Daily Kos:
A white hotel manager of the Adams Mark Hotel in Kansas City, hung a black slave doll from the doorway of the office with a garbage bag in an apparent mocking of the death of Sandra Bland.
Tipster: @AdamsMarkHotel addressed before atty @StacyShawLaw got involved. Says employee fired immed & staff lectured on zero tolerance.

The manager has been fired and the staff have been given lectures on zero tolerance for racism.
I don’t think that simply firing this idiot is enough. That employee should be charged with a federal hate crime. This person is sick and I can only imagine what they really think about African-Americans as a whole at this point.
This just goes to show you how racism and hate is ever so present in this country. We came far from where we were as slaves, but it is still work to be done in this country if people like this are walking around. It is important for us to take a stand against racism, ignorance, and hate.
