IGH

In the coverage of the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 by the media and the resident “experts”,  I am appalled at the insinuations and character assassinations of the cockpit crew.

My greatest fear is not the bad guy with the gun, but the “good guy” who hides behind the law to perpetrate “dirty deeds.” IGH

The word for today is "stereotype", meaning:
1. A widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing
2. To believe unfairly that all people or things with a particular characteristic are the same.

Racism is like cancer, the remedy can be painful, but if not treated early, can kill the entire body. We have the option, early treatment, or early death. IGH

Advertising posted in Guyana Graphic Newspaper in January 1966.

These were popular institutions of that era.
