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, The Post has learned.
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.
Regina Wilson, then Vulcan Society president, asked McWilliams to “help in a different capacity” because he is not black.
Loving, who is black, testified there is nothing wrong with that.
“So, a request for an all-black color guard is not discriminatory?” McWilliam’s lawyer, Keith Sullivan, asked in the trial.
“No, it isn’t,” Loving replied.
Asked if it’s acceptable to request an all-black color guard, she said, “Most definitely.”
Loving said it’s okay to replace a white member with an African-American to “uplift our identities and our separate ethnicities in order to instill a sense of pride and community and support for one another.”

Could they have kept him in if he wore blackface?
IAFF should ALL boycott this regardless. Will the members sack up or kneel down.
Sounds Official, It’s OK to Discriminate against black people and hire only Whites if you prefer.
Disgusting.
I hope he cashes his check quickly once FDNY settles the lawsuit that’s coming their way.
What a worthless POS. Why don't people want real jobs where they actually make a tangible product, or provide a service that helps other's create? It is seriously time to start abusing people for their life choices. They are a drag on our culture. They are a drag on our economy. They are anti-American.
Beyond being a cancer, it distracts from the central purpose of the organization. IOW, this person’s job has nothing to do with putting out a fire so it’s not adding to achieving the mission.
Multiculturalism and diversity are a cancer.

which leads to “chief diversity and inclusion officer” same as a political officer in the old USSR. Every company, local government and so one must have one.
Perhaps, when Biden and his radical terrorist voters succeed in blocking polling places in November (thus bringing themselves to power), they will rename the county in honor of their beloved Soviet Union.
Any opposition will be put down, no matter how bloody, and the media will not report it.
Could probably hire two real rookie firefighters for what she gets paid.
Like I said on a similar thread yesterday, then it’s “most definitely” acceptable for white FDNY firefighters to refuse to protect the backs of black FDNY firefighters.
Goody. The dimwitted racist just said segregation is legitimate.
Alrighty then. Reactivate the deed covenants because “they uplift our ethnicities”.
Seriously, flip the colors and cities burn but we continue to pay them to breed.
You forgot: DIVERSITY IS UNITY
How would he feel if he excluded saving people on 9-11 because of their skin color?

Ditto that.
Cecilia should remember this next time they want to order a white fire-fighters to climb 80 stories to fight a fire.
I guess Orwell wasn't that great of a visionary.
