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!

Dunno, Dust, but it amazes me that so many people show up as new FFN members and co-incidentally they have a product to push, but it allegedly has nothing to do with their newfound FFN membership. Let's see, fire-resistant underwear, orbs, holistic medicine, and on FFN's sister site, JEMS.connect, the author who supposedly isn't making any money promoting his book about how corrupt and evil physicians supposedly are...but it's not the money, it's enlightening the rest of us that motivates all of this altrusim. I guess I'll just go on doubting when this type of thing keeps happening.
I'd be happy to go back to "how whacked out is your ride?", "what does your helmet color mean?", "should juniors be able to be chief?", or the latest "what new rescue tool did your salesman compare to 40-year old Hurst tools right before he pocketed your communities money?", or even the silly virtual tavern.
Say, if I leave the virtual tavern while virtually intoxicated and drive my virtual car and get stopped by a virtual cop, can I lose my virtual job and my virtual firefighting career?

John, you have solved the mystery. I'm wondering how we can continue to illuminate this discussion without mentioning membership in the latest group I sponsored.
