No push back from media just amplification of claims of racism.

“It works! The fat black fire fighter balances out the two thin black firefighters.”

There is a mural of three firefighters. A white woman, a black woman, and a black man. The faces used some sort of photo print out. The pictures were bleached out to make them all appear white.

It is a good thing most HR people are woke Leftists, otherwise, prospective employers would rightfully look at people like her and say “This is someone who will file a lawsuit at the drop of a hat-not worth it.”

If normal people populated the majority of HR positions, people like her would never get hired.

But HR departments are Leftist and woke...and people like her do get hired.

If the attorney was any more horse-faced she could be pulling a carriage around Central Park.

I don’t understand why they would do that? The two on the left have normal faces while the black woman looks like a big glob of White-Out. ?

Very odd. It’s like they were just asking for criticism or to stir up trouble. I can understand why the woman’s mad.

Maybe they just did a terrible job with the reproduction. Someone should just have noticed that it looks awful!

I know it is a bit off subject but I will never be able to accept female firefighters.

It just defies logic.

Women do not have the strength to carry a body out of a burning building.

That is all there is to it.

If your partner is injured and can not escape on his own you as a firefighter must be able to drag or carry him out of the burning building.

An 110 pound woman can not carry a 220 pound man. Add 40 pounds of SCBA and 30 pounds of turnout gear to the man and the same for the woman and and we are talking 390 pounds.

The Facts of Reality are what they are.

There once were physical fitness requirements for firefighters that eliminated a lot of men from entering the profession. Those test of course had to be watered down to insignificance so that women could pass.

All I say is that it puts lives at risk and it is wrong.

Maybe it was supposed to be a “imagine your face here” ad? Doubt it was an intentional jab at her personally. Terrible artwork in any case.
