A top FDNY official says it’s “most definitely” acceptable to exclude a white firefighter from a ceremonial unit based solely on his skin color...
Cecilia Loving, the department’s chief diversity and inclusion officer, is defending a decision to kick Lt. Daniel McWilliams — one of three firefighters in the iconic 9/11 Ground Zero flag-raising photo — off a color-guard procession so it would be all-black.
Loving testified at a state Divsion of Human Rights trial on McWilliam’s complaint that he was the victim of racial bias.
When McWilliams showed up at a 2017 memorial mass to honor deceased members of the Vulcan Society, a fraternal group of black FDNY firefighters, he was barred from holding a flag in the color guard.
...
Sullivan called the rejection of McWilliams “deplorable,” and evidence of a stark double standard in the FDNY.
...
After filing his complaint, McWilliams was the target of retaliation and intimidation by Wilson’s supporters, Sullivan argues. One put his hands on McWilliams, and said, ”I’ve heard about you, they told me you’d act this way, and now you know me.”

A rhetorical question.
The Democrats are recruiting them the same way Muslim recruit prison blacks: For a little loyalty within the Umma (or Party, in this case), you can work out your frustrations on the "others" (non-Antifa whites) to your heart's content. An easy sell.
Allegedly someone who holds this office and the authority to make this racist call cannot be a racist because she does not hold the offices with power that actually make such actions racist.
I don’t think the 343 went up the stairs for this.
RIP BCM.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
Bump
It's a crime ridden, garbage dump.
I’m from NYC originally. That town needs to die.

I think its got a good shot at dying under deBlassio
Good plan!
“I live in a red Southern state.”
“Enjoy it while it lasts.”
Oh, I intend to. Our state is full of armed rednecks. And our governor, police, & state cops don’t do kumbaya with Antifa.
Muslims in our state are vewy vewy quiet. Local imams have said that too many “infidels” have too many guns.
There are no rednecks in Portland.

Just about the worst person you can put in charge is a woman and I’m a woman. My worst bosses have been women. I agree with equal pay for equal work but women make terrible bosses. IMO
This is bizarro world reasoning. Overt racism is evidence of non-racist diversity. I am not at all sure the the NY administrative and legal process will yield a fact based decision. For that matter, if this matter were to ever get to the Supreme Court, I wouldn’t count on CJ Roberts, either.

Do not be afraid to say “kill”. They aren’t
