This fireman wants 4 million to ease his pain. Rochester, NY has some serious racial shenanigans going on.

And after it is found that he put up the flags and put the chicken on the table, the story goes away.

Private party, private house people can be as racist as they wish in their own home. The fire-fighter would need to show that his boss, using his work situation, pressured him into going and that the boss knew there would be these things on display. But given the state of courts and government today this guy is probably a shoe-in for a pay day.

These deals are always set-ups, lay the groundwork to sue and everyone shares in the loot.

Juneteenf. That’s Brandon’s holiday about nothing. The one that the white privilege liberal college Nazis want to use to replace American Independence Day.

The dentist who threw the party has already had to resign and every politician and business has already found the guy guilty. Guilty of throwing a party in July.

I thought black people were all about fried chicken. What’s he whining about.

I have no problem recognizing Juneteenth. Stupid name, but the event was significant.

Looks like both bigotry and opportunism are in play.

Rochester has problems. Generational Democrat turf.

My first thought was this is in New York but Southerners are vilified.

We have Winter Negro Day, and Summer Negro Day. The fireman were including Juneteenth in their celebration. Instead of appreciating that inclusiveness, we get an ugly display of uppity ingratitude. FYI, I've never met anyone who didn't like fried chicken. Here's a clue: it's an American and worldwide favorite, not confined to any racial group. The Japanese love Southern fried chicken too.

A totally faked holiday….Should be in December not June

“Delaware and Kentucky rejected all efforts by the Union to end slavery, and these two border states firmly rejected the 13th Amendment.1 As a result, slavery remained perfectly legal in both states for another six months after Juneteenth, until the secretary of state certified that the 13th Amendment had been ratified by enough states to become law throughout the U.S.”

Koreans make the best fried chicken. Where I live KFC means Korean fried chicken.

And the photographic evidence is where? Any corroboration of his story by anyone else who was there? You’d think that if this guy was so upset with what he saw, he would’ve pulled out his cell phone and taken a few pictures.

And would someone go to all the trouble of finding and buying Juneteenth flags just to mock the holiday? Excuse the pun, but color me skeptical…

I hear ex-Virginia Governor Ralph “Coonman” Northam has a lot of time on his hands nowadays.

Still trying to murder babies, which is getting tougher to do nowadays, so maybe a change of jobs would do him good.

“FYI, I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like fried chicken.”

I love it but only eat it twice a year. Too greasy for me to handle. I am eating lots of watermelon this summer. A stereotypical black food, so they say.

I’ll bet Juneteenth dining tables in the black community are overflowing with fried chicken, So why is this guy complaining? He doesn’t even claim that racist jokes were told.

This d-bag fireman is trying to win the ghetto lottery.
