Project 1999 - NY GRAND JURY VOTES TO INDICT TRUMP

As an agency and industry that operates under paramilitary rules and regulations, and often grouped with law enforcement as “first responders,” fire departments and individual firefighters have a unique perspective on law enforcement. We have a front row seat to their operations, they are our friends and allies, but we are often seen differently – we are seen as the kind and well-respected arm of the emergency services.

What if I told you that institutional racism was just as prevalent within the fire service in this nation as it is within law enforcement? That sentence makes me sick to write. It’s taken me a week of watching protests and reading countless articles and social media posts to get there. I’ve tried to pretend this wasn’t the reality, but that doesn’t do anybody any good.

Maybe we should stop sending white, racist, fascist, nazi fire fighters into minority communities and empower individuals from those communities to provide their own fire fighters and other first responders, that way they won't be dependent on evil whites to help them when their communities are in need.

I mean, lots of black students are various universities were calling for segregated graduation ceremonies, which I personally think is really fucked up, but I just have an outdated outlook on people not segregating, which I know I'm wrong for thinking so.

To be anti-racist you have to obsess over race and rank the various races in a hierarchy based on how many oppression points they have.

You might be thinking to yourself "well that sounds retarded", and you'd be right, but people just really super duper want to be racist while saying they don't like racism. It's clown world.

How do you measure freedom? How do you declare yourself victorious in the war against drugs? When will we know we're drone striked the very last terrorist on Earth?

Ah, so the goal is just to minimize it as much as possible, but not totally eliminate it.

In that case, it's good the supreme court said you can't be racist to whites and asians anymore right? That's progress, no?

Spend enough time on the left here in ATL and you meet lots of black leftists that might support this. Clarence Thomas agrees, but he does his activism specifically on behalf of the right-wing capitalists.

I'm white so I don't see it as my place to judge those who want nothing to do with whitey. I work with the leftists that are willing to work with me. If you are savvy you learn when to speak and when to listen.
