Can’t fire him, he’s black.
I saw a tv movie back in the 1970’s about a new fireman who once looked the other way for an arsonist who was the same color as he. The fireman was played by Richard Roundtree. In the movie the other fireman went after him and in the end the guy caught another arsonist to absolve himself.

I’m sure they’ll just promote him to some high-paying desk job.
Sounds like the box of rocks Bank of America reps I met with in Florida after my dad passed away.
Just fire his ass already.
“Tragic Johnson” really?
Does he wear #32?

Affirmative action at its finest!
