Minority Miami Firefighters Commit Racial Acts Against Black Firefighter?

In this political climate when cantankerous leadership in the nation's capital has caused an upsurge of boldface racial hatred, it is not a surprise to see so much bigotry throughout the country. The experience of Chennel Rowe at the University of Hartford, who was subjected to the poisoning and other nasty torturing acts from her white dorm roommate, is just one example of the bold offensive behavior against minorities. However, the actions of six fired firefighters in Miami against their Black colleague is a different and unusual scenario of racism. This case would make anyone speechless not only because these firefighters are expected to be regarded as having high moral standards but also since it is quite obvious that one of the fired men is Black. Harold Santana, a Black Hispanic, appears to have a color inferiority complex. This is the only explanation to determine why he would foolishly participate in placing a noose around a family photo of Black firefighter, Lt. Robert Webster, and also be included in drawing vulgar images on the photos of Lt. Webster's loved ones. It is such inferiority complex that makes some Black Hispanics believe that they are not Black and identify on documentation as Hispanic or Other. Needless to say, those cannot hide their obvious Black skin. Furthermore, the others who participated in this revolting act, except for the one white firefighter, seem unaware that as Hispanics in the United States, they are also considered minorities who are included in the target of white racists radical groups. So, it does not make any sense when minorities participate in racial acts against other minorities. But, these two cases are just a few of many since the U.S. has returned to a period when verbal and physical racial expressions against minority groups were the norm.
