  1. At one time the Title a fireman was a job relegated primarily for black men as they were considered expendable in dangerous situations as fires.

    Coming into the 20th.cemtury white men created unions that excluded black men and established a high paying blue color occupation strictly for white males.

    You would see this same discriminatory behavior I'm professional sports as Baseball and Football.

    Black men in the South were not allowed to join the fire departments until the 1970s.
    They were routinely harassed by cruel jokes, humiliation rituals and dirty tricks, disqualified based on medical or rigged medical exams.
    .
    Some were even killed by white firemen or white Policemen. Promotion opportunities were routinely denied to advance to to lieutenant or captain rank.

    A fireman's job was and is still considered a white man's job..

  2. Racism means the superiority of blacks people,😎🤣down with Canada whites Zionist racism in Canada god blessed all black people in Canada ❤stay strong

  3. People in the U.S. forget that firefighters used water hoses against the 1960s civil rights revolutionaries. How negro wall streets, town and cities where burned down by domestic terrorists calling themselves white.

  4. U have a very dangerous job, under great deal of pressure, I would fine another occupation and have peace of mind, Peace of mind is far greater than a firefighter what if they leave u in a burning building, letting you burn up lynching.

  5. Police departments, fire departments,… are the same in regards to WHITE SUPREMACISTS, SYSTEMIC RACISM,…

    REMEMBER!
    BLACK PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SPRAYED WITH FIRE HOSES FOR WELL OVER 50 YEARS!

  6. To Emma Ansah:
    The testimony of this black firefighter enters in harmony with a video that Phillip Scott uploaded recently. It was a video where a former white firefighter admitted to a black man that he used to let houses burn with black people in it at the time that he used to work as a firefighter. It's not like owning a business but I think that black people should have their own fire department to avoid persecution from those trailer park rats.

  7. I am an African watching this video from the motherland. My comment: the so called whites are really evil people, they have been terrorising the non white people for over 400 years. Enslaving Africans in north and Latin America, colonizing the whole world abd exploiting tgeir natural resources etc.

  8. I also saw a video of a pale face fire fighter that admitted “when he came to rescue someone in a fire and saw that they were Black, “he’d say there was no one left in the house and he’d let the Black person burn”.
    If I find the video again, I’ll leave a link.

  9. Unfortunately… in a small small way … THIS IS OKAY, but WAIT WAIT WAIT…. YES, RACISM is WRONG , YES. But we keep trying to integrate (in certain places, it's not every where) and fit in where we are CLEARLY not wanted.
