A top FDNY official says its most definitely acceptable to exclude a white firefighter from a ceremonial unit based solely on his skin color...
Cecilia Loving, the departments 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 McWilliams 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 Wilsons supporters, Sullivan argues. One put his hands on McWilliams, and said, Ive heard about you, they told me youd act this way, and now you know me.

Is that Shia Lebeauf? LOL
That is my wife’s sentiment. She put forth the thought this evening, which I thought she would never do, that these women are nuts and should never have been elected or allowed to vote. Not my thoughts or words, her’s.
Except we get arrested for saying it, they dont.
Cecilia Hating can be found floating face down in the La Brea Tar Pits for all I care.
White Min of Los Angeles, fight back!

Make that, “White Men of New York, Fight Back!”
For some reason, I thought this happened in Los Angeles, although the same crap happens in L.A.L.A. land all the time.
Just in case.....The original photograph of the 3 firefighters showed that they were all white. “they” decided to alter it and show one of them as black. So revisionist history goes back a little.
chief “diversity” and “inclusion” officer promotes non-diversity and exclusion!
This decision is pure racism in action.
#43. Several dozen police officers also died on 9/11. My friend, a disabled/retired NYPD Irish cop said his precinct lost about 17 men. Their race/religion, etc. was irrelevant. They were all heroes that day and every day they served.
The black officials and the black firemen’s group are racists, pure and simple. They are a disgrace to those who serve all regardless of race, ethnic background, etc.
There must be serious repercussions for this racist, anti-white (by their own admission) slight on the white officer.
But then again, NYC is ruled by a hardcore Stalinist Communist mayor and city council, plus his appointees are just as bad.
This could be a federal civil rights discrimination case. I’d like the white officer to testify as to the black firefighter who threatened him.
