Would the Albany, Schenectady, Glens Falls or Troy FD handle it the same way? A probationary firefighter was fired recently because he brought in a watermelon (complete with a bow) as a gift to the veteran members of the station.  Some of his African-American co-workers were offended, some were not, but he was promptly fired.

This is just like Michael Jackson's "Black and White" video I thought as watched the Dove commercial that the internet is going nuts over was.  I thought the outrage seemed a little much, but after seeing the "screen grab", I can see why people may take offense to it.  Dove apologized, but should they have?

It's Memorial Day 2015. I have spent much of my morning writing and thinking about those who made the ultimate sacrifice to make this great country what it is, a nation made of many diverse cultures all who believe above all else that all men are created equal and that we all deserve the natural right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The ‘Human Barbie’ Woman’s Racist Comments
