Firefighter fired over a gifted watermelon

[Bert.]

If someone is going to work at a particular fireHOUSE, they know the demographics of the firefighters before day 1.

Stop

Proof? if so like I said he’s obviously guilty.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Proof? if so like I said he’s obviously guilty.

Proof, go ask any firefighter in America.

You don't just STUMBLE into a firehouse. It isn't like he is going to meet his college roomate for the first time.

Again, STOP

 

[EddieDoyers]

I’m a dumbass? He applied to be a firefighter...

They’re gonna warn him, you’re hired but before you accept just wanted to let you know it’s majority black males

What professional place says that to an employee

I didn’t call you a dumbass, I said the guy in this situation is a dumbass.

Second of all, most work places when you go in for an interview or two will have you tour the place and see how the workers are like.
Even his former coworkers knew he messed up because he already knew the first detail of the work place.

I don’t buy that “I didn’t mean to be racist” shtick.

Agreed

My whole point is he didn’t know who is coworkers were or he’s stupid 40 year old thinks he could make a racist joke and win everyone over on day one

Interviews don't exist?

Visits don't exist?

This isn't a regular OFFICE job.

Stop talking as if he would be totally blindsided by WHO his co-workers were going to be.

Ok, so I just did a quick google search and read this. He knew what his detail would be prior to being placed. So, he had an idea where he would be. I'm guessing it's like he knew what type of neighborhood he would be assigned to and he took that gift voluntarily and didn't think he would offend? Yea, ok. Plus, I also saw the usual gift is coffee and donuts. How in the hell can you mess up coffee and donuts? It's a nice gesture anyone can enjoy. I'm not buying that he didn't know it would be offensive to anyone.

watermelons >>> them other melons tho

 

[Betonblck]

Racists in here defending racist actions. He knew what he was doing bringing in a whole uncut watermelon. Thing wasn't even cut up into pieces so people can eat it.

If you want to bring fruit, you bring a fruit tray.

You missing out man. So refreshing

 

[green rhino123]

Everyone loves the muskmelon.
Enough with the muskmelon.

[DCAllAfrican]

Cantaloupe a close second

Watermelon : Cantelope

Lebron : KD

 

[RustyShackleford]

Never had it, I just assumed it tasted like Cantelope, does it?

You talking about muskmelon?

Its just another name for Cantaloupe.

Oh ok. At this market around my way they got them labeled separated. The muskmelons got ridges on the out and the cantaloupes are smooth.

 

[joe billionaire]

Cantaloupe is good I even enjoy papaya if picked correctly but nothing is as juicy and sweet as a watermelon

 

[RustyShackleford]

I hate Papaya

I had three trees in my yard growing up, but you couldn't pay me to eat some Paw Paw as a kid.

 

[stuntman mike]

most people don’t like bittermelon.

Watermelon : Cantelope

so essentially canteloupe is a quitter who takes the easy route and still doesn't have a ring in my eyes
