Poor Man's Lotto: Memoirs of a Black firefighter in America

For those of you who believe there is no racism or discrimination in America's Fire departments, think again. Poor Man's Lotto: Memoirs of a Black Firefighter in America brings to light the racial predjudices that are still part of this courageous group of men. Now only if they can find the courage to face their discriminatory practices. As Former Director of Emergency Services and Homeland Security, it disturbs me greatly and deeply that this continues to be a norm in this agency. Hopefully, Poor Man's Lotto will open not only your eyes but also your minds. Personally, I would be scared to go into a hazardous environment knowing how some of you really feel about Blacks!

They are gonna say firefighters are true brothers.... Thats how it goes. One minute we are fighting in da firehouse with each other and 2minutes later we are crawling down a smoky hallway trying to keep each other safe..... You guys all know it happens that fast..... I'm 33 years old. Been a firefighter for 8years....
