More Whiny Charges of Racism byt Some Racists

STFU

“ FIREFIGHTERS ORDERED TO YANK OLD GLORY Chief claims 'racism' provoked ban ... Its chief, Craig Bronaugh Jr., told the newspaper that four firefighters who had been removed from their duties and sent home actually may return. But officials with the Service Employees International Union Local 73, which represents the suburb’s firefighters, said it had gone too far for only that, and they filed a complaint with the state Labor Relations Board, the Tribune reported. “It’s about freedom of speech, and there should be nothing wrong with them expressing their patriotism,” spokesman Adam Rosen said. He explained the department had simply refused to bargain with the union over the issue, creating a hostile work situation.  A report from Chicago’s WGN TV explained what apparently happened. An order came down from Bronaugh that because of a culture of racism, firefighters had to remove all decals or stickers, including American flags and military stickers, from their city lockers. Showing a picture of a “monkey smoking a cigarette” that had been taped to one locker, he said, “As a fire chief here, I cannot afford nor tolerate [racism].” But several firefighters refused, and ultimately were sent home. They explained the monkey picture had been put on one firefighter’s locker years ago by a buddy who wanted to chide him about his smoking, and the actually tension started, according to the WGN report, when the chief ordered a new American flag be removed from Fire Station 2.   [Full] 6 years of incendiary race-baiting by the Obama-Holder faction have created this culture of Black racists looking to pick a fight.   On the plus side, the firefighters are SEIU thugs, so there is some nice schadenfreude here.  A pox on them all. ”
