Racism amongst ourselves

Hi everyone...I hate to be a downer but it's come to my attention that we are losing a great number of EMT's/Medics from this site because someone is posting negative racial/ethnicity remarks and they are asking people to leave the site because of their religious beliefs.....personally, I think it is BS to do that to another 'family' member, but I would like to hear from others regarding this.

1) I agree.
2) This site is moderated, with an interested and objective administrator.

Be well,

Dave

There should be a zero telerence policy in a professional social network for those who are unprofessional.

Comment by Mike Green on August 26, 2009 at 9:58am: It is a shame that as a community we talk about brotherhood and sisterhood and family, but when push comes to shove some can't see beyond somebodies color, religon or whatever else they deem unappealing. Face facts no matter what color or beliefs we all have individually, we are all EMS Blue.

Comment by Mylina Dillard on August 19, 2009 at 8:35pm: I'm new to the site too and this is not what I thought it was going to be. This is embarassing, but sad to see adults act like children. Good luck to all of you.
