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”.

Disgusting
He’s better off not working with all those Blacks ! If a watermelon offends them they have the Race problem not him !! All Lives Matter ! That ought to upset the Racist Asses!
Total bull why what wrong with watermelon it’s a fruit way too sensitive overboard
It’s a damn good thing he didn’t bring chicken
My guess, they really just wanted someone else in that position. Probably had his replacement picked already.
To everybody who got butt hurt over this…you had better stay ay home… because someday somebody might order fried chicken in front of you…
Yay! It’s Bob Zahn, the little troll man. He’s a troll. Please don’t encourage him. You can’t fix stupid. Ignore him.
