Nashville Fire Department Captain Tracy Turner isn't exactly a deep political thinker. Neither are most people on social media -- but in Turner's case, that could cost him his job.
Turner has some particularly strong views on the Black Lives Matter movement, race, the recent protest movements and whether or not you should use face masks in public places. None of them are particularly deep and some of them are bound to anger people.
On slavery: “If all white people can be guilty for slavery because of a few plantation owners… then black people get to share the same guilt. There were Black plantation owners as well. So if all whites are guilty so are blacks.”
On the recent protests: “It’s not that the Anti-Fa and BLM thugs are so strong that they are able to take over part of a city...It’s that the Democrat Mayors are so weak as to let it happen. Shameful.”
On race: “What we done? We have raised a generation of morons that think that police are evil, especially the white ones …that all white people are racist and privileged …what have we done?”
On racism: “If you’ve been mistreated by someone of a different race, most of the time it’s because one of you are a jerk. Not your skin color.”

BLM = Burn--Loot--Murder
That is correct. I’ve been using it for a while in certain instances. Or Baseball League Major?
What’s his Freeper handle?
I’d say most sane, rational people would have no disagreements with his comments.
See. You gave the dems/libs an out right there.
Sane and rational is the key.............
The Captain is speaking truth to insanity.
When you criticize BLM include links from their websites and quote their own MARXIST FOUNDATION!
Truth doesn’t matter. You can be good at your job. Been promoted. Decorated. Say something non-PC and you’re fired. We do not have freedom in this country.
No first amendment for you sir!!
I’d change his one comment a little. “ If all White people have to accept guilt for a few antebellum plantation owners then all Black people need to share guilt for today’s Black crime rate”
Did this sort of thing ever happen to people who criticized the TEA party?
Didn’t think so. They were celebrated I’m sure.
I can’t say that I disagree very much with anything Mr. Turner said. I might have phrased something a little differently, but the thought is there. BTW, he’s right on about the Democrat mayors.
His thoughts are deeper than anything we heard from that parade of cretins questioning Barr yesterday.
C. Douglas can kiss my grits, repeatedly. This fine fire captain not the person you would have making your case? Much better one of these men living the issue than a perfumed, pithecan parasite of Conservative, Inc.
We all know what this putz never learned, that the country suffers because we relied upon them to present our side in the cultural war. We rejected Conservative, Inc in 2016. Do they think we have forgotten?
