When will the madness end?!

There is zero tolerance for discriminatory behavior inside the Detroit Fire Department. On Saturday, Sept. 30, 2017, at Engine 55, a trial firefighter (probationary employee) engaged in unsatisfactory work behavior which was deemed offensive and racially insensitive to members of the Detroit Fire Department. After a thorough investigation, it was determined that the best course of action was to terminate the employment of this probationary employee.

So it's racist to acknowledge that people like watermelon? I'm white and like watermelon also.

How was he to know that particular watermelon was racist?

I bet they got pissed cause he ate the heart out of it before he told the others he had cut it.

Several left-of-center outlets, including HuffPost and the Atlantic, have documented how watermelons are racist symbols of ages past. They primarily argue that the symbol was meant to characterize black people as unclean, lazy, childish, and an unwanted presence.
They are also a delicious, relatively healthy foodstuff that is easily transported, and the perfect size to be enjoyed by 8-12 firefighters.
Get bent, liberals.

Enough already! I urge the fireman to sue the department. Take it to the Supreme Court if necessary. Set up a GoFundMe account. I'll pitch in. This political correctness b/s is getting rediculous.

I would. And I would ask them to prove how a watermelon is any more racist than a cantaloupe!

I don't get the stereotype. I'm white and I love watermelon.

Basically this guy was fired for being white.
