Who wants to be cooped up in a firehouse with cacs all day

I used to want to be one a long time ago, but then I noticed all the American flags outside the station

I noticed how the firefighters backed the police officers no matter whatever fukkery they got into

And I said why the fukk would I ever put myself into a situation where I'd be the only black guy in a house full of good old boys

I think this is what keeps a lot of minorities out of firehouses. Firefighters unions are run by good ol boys as well (read: middle aged CACs) that work to keep outsiders out, rather than fight for the working class.

In Hawaii it's so different. There are no majority ethnic groups, so the firefighters work to keep women out. We have zero female firefighters in almost all four counties.

Says a lot about you if you letting an American flag or who’s working there intimidate you :mjlol:

ive worked at stations where I was the only black outta 10 guys. Who cares? I’m there to do my job & serve the city. Never felt uncomfortable, im there to work.

On the flip side I’ve been on all black or all Hispanic crews too :yeshrug:

These jobs are usually. Rotten to the core & the unions do not want negros around
