 Spain's postal service launches anti-racism campaign that gives darker stamps less value than lighter stamps

NEWS
CARLOS GARCIA

May 28, Spain's postal service is being accused of being really racist after they launched an ill-fated campaign to combat racism by issuing stamps with different values according to their






color."The darker the stamp, the less value it will have," said Correos, the state-owned postal company, about the campaign. 

"Therefore, when making a shipment, it will be necessary to use more black stamps than white ones," they explained. "That way, each letter and each shipment will become a reflection of the inequality created by racism."

A video from Correos about the "Equality Stamps" campaign explicitly ties their effort to the anti-racism protests around the world. The stamps will be released on the first anniversary of the murder of George Floyd, and as a part of European Diversity Month. 

"A collection of stamps demanding that color should not determine the value we place on a person's life," said campaign spokesperson El Chojín, a Spanish activist and rapper. Many are calling the anti-racist campaign very racist. 

Antumi Toasijé, a historian and activist, said they should end the campaign altogether. 

"A campaign that infuriates those it is trying to defend is always a mistake," tweetedToasijé in Spanish. 

"When it comes to the fight against racism, irony, double meanings and 'This needs to be talked about even if it's wrong' don't help. We can all make mistakes, but it's time to fix this one," he added. 

"At the end of the day, an anti-racism campaign has put out a clearly racist message," lamented Spanish author Moha Gerehou. 

Correos Espana told The Guardian it would not be commenting about the uproar over their anti-racism campaign https://www.theblaze.com/news/spain-color-stamps-racism

Assassinations of national leaders and other high-ranking politicians and celebrities are not only history-making events, they are also history-changing ones as well. We can only speculate at what history would have looked like had these public figures had not been murdered, but for better or for worse, history was definitely altered. Here’s a list of the weapons used in some of the more infamous history-altering public and/or political killings (the official versions anyway); the photos are of the actual weapons used: Wogdon .544 dueling pistols - These pistols were used by Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton during their famous duel on July 11, 1804, which resulted in Hamilton's death.   Philadelphia .41 Derringer - Used by John Wilkes Booth to kill Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865. Bulldog .44 revolver - Used by Charles Guiteau on President James Garfield on July 2, 1881.   Iver Johnson .32 revolver – Used by Leon Czolgosz on Pr

The Bridge: Suicide Isn't Painless

The theme song to the 1970 movie MASH is called "Suicide is Painless." It isn't, in ways I will try to explain. First of all, let's look at the act itself. Many suicide attempts are horribly botched. I recently asked an emergency medical technician what was the most unusual call he ever dealt with, and his immediate reply was someone who shot himself in the head with a .45 and survived. Rather than getting rid of his worldly problems, the man made them infinitely worse, not only for himself but many others as well. Several years ago, I watched a documentary film called The Bridge (2006) , which was about the people that jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge over the course of a year; 23 of the 24 (known) suicides from the bridge that year (2004) were recorded. Snuff films and/or anything related to them are far from my bag to say the least, but I felt compelled to watch this documentary, as my only brother killed himself by jumping from a bridge elsewhere
