RACIST DEI training tells white firefighters that they are a problem.

I couldn't make this shit up if I tried. Stephen King couldn't make this shit up.

DEI training suspended after telling firefighters that White staff have caused 'racial harm': report

A diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) program targeted at firefighters and medics in King County, Washington, was suspended after backlash from employees, according to a report Tuesday.

"Critics, including several King County firefighters, challenged the training’s political undertones and its potential infringement on personal beliefs, particularly regarding gender identity," radio host Jason Rantz revealed in a report. "The training’s failure could jeopardize participants’ EMT certifications, demanding acknowledgment of endless genders and an inherent racial bias among White staff."

The report detailed instructions in the DEI training for white firefighters and medics to check their racist tendencies.

This is where liberalism/Nazism slams up against the hard wall of reality

A house owned by a black family is on fire. The fire truck shows up and very very brave men and women are prepared to RISK THEIR LIVES to put out that fire and save the residents.
And in Washington State, some say that the skin color of those firefighters is an issue.

And you wonder why everyone says liberals are racist, uneducated morons.

We went through this with the Military years ago, DEI training was mandatory and in many cases quite necessary. Ours wasn't racist against "Whites" but a couple of decades ago, most of our Military WAS White and very racist, anti-LGBTQ and Transphobic, still is in many cases as many of the old racists are still in charge. In many first responder departments, the vast majority of the employees and Leaders are White and most definitely aren't inclusive of other cultures, religions or LGBTQ people. DEI IS necessary and must include not only the actual workplace but must also be reflected in the hiring policies of all Departments. No, don't just hire them because of their Race, religion, sexual orientation or Gender, but AT LEAST give them the an equal opportunity to GET hired, that isn't happening in many places right now and it has to change. Any Publicly funded Organization must reflect the Population it serves and that isn't happening in many of them.

@spjennifer I’m aretired firefighter. As for who is allowed in and hired, there are transgender members, gay and lesbian members, ( LGBQT)many non white members. And one department that deserves credit for their hiring practices past and present is the FDNY.

@soar2newhighs Wonderful, would that ALL Public Service departments act the same way as FDNY. I wouldn't and couldn't stand for unfair hiring practices no matter who they advantage but it must be fair for everyone, no matter their race, religion, sexual orientation or gender, everyone who passes the tests must be given the same opportunity to succeed!
