A white Detroit firefighter ran into some problems when he brought some fruit into work instead of some glucose-laden donuts. While most folks would just be thankful for a snack and grab some artery clogging snacks on their time, this 90% African-American station saw things differently.
Robert Pattinson, 41, was excited to introduce himself to the other firefighters at Engine 55 on the corner of Joy and Southfield in Detroit. Per custom, he brought along a welcoming gift on his first day on the job
Second Battalion Chief Shawn McCarty calls this welcome gift “a tradition” for Engine 55’s firefighters.
But, some of the other firefighters saw things differently. Things went downhill fast when they realized his “welcoming gift” was really just a bold declaration that he was a “racist”. Continue to the next page to learn how a piece of fruit ruined a white firefighter’s career and what all went down when this supposed act of aggression was reported.

I am sorry for this young man. I am also sorry for the black men who were offended at his gift. It shows how narrow minded and racist they are. Watermelon is a fruit enjoyed by many. I grew up in the South and we all enjoyed cold watermelon on hot summer days. It is truley a shame when people shut the door in your face because they cannot let go of the past. Hope these men never ever make a mistake and I hope they are not judged the way they judged this man
Drama runs deep in Michigan they need too grow a pair & take their State Back!!! ICE needs too help out there!!!
I also liked the pink ribbon he put on it in support for breast cancer. Nice touch. Sorry it was never appreciated
Maybe Fried Chicken would have been better?

Lies and Painful annul leaks are anti-American Russian operative douche bags.
Bob Zahn actually$#%&!@*is leftist. Repeating your lie over and over won’t make it true. Trump is no socialist. He’s a jerk. But that doesn’t make him a socialist$#%&!@*
Bob Zahn actually they are racist. As proven by their voting records. Also as proven by their speeches. As proven by their actions. This big racism push by the left is to try to get back what they are losing- the black vote. Blacks are leaving the leftist “plantation” that is democrat policy for freedom and upward mobility. That clearly upsets you. The KKK was in fact started and run by the democrats. Public record proves it. Keep pushing the lie. People can look up public records and see the big lie. People like you are Trump’s best friends.
