As part of its commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Wake County allocated $2.3 million of American Rescue Plan Act funding to go towards a year long “Career in a Year” fire academy program intended to “diversify” the Wake County Fire Services. According to Wake County director of Fire and Emergency Management Darrell Alford, 90% of the fire service was white males prior to the introduction of this program last year.

…when I say diverse pool, I mean anything other than a white male. The fire service is, I hate to use the word dominated, but it’s mostly white male…

Instead of the best and brightest they want the Brownist and Blackist.
Maybe the all the white firefighters should resign.
I think they should get exactly what they want!!
Never happen, resignations, because muh pension……
I have for YEARS refused to take/contract work in Wake and Durham Counties. The inspectors there have a God complex and make doing business there ridiculous. (And the one’s in Rowan County are right in line behind them).

So f’n what? We are a majority-White nation (for now). We can serve our own communities, thank you very much!
what these white liberal/black Marxist racists are doing is illegal and should be brought before the State Supreme Court as reverse racism at its finest. and who is paying for this DEI/Woke garbage, the people of wake county, I can’t understand why the whites in that county don’t stand up and fight for their race because if these racists are put in any positions where they are needed to aid white people, they will pass you by. A major civil Lawsuit mut be filed by the people in that county to protest what they are doing.
You only need to look at today’s LA fires to know wokeness is a disaster! LA county hired a fire chief because she’s a lesbian; LGTBQ was more important than the safety of its citizens. Wake up Wake County! Don’t repeat such a disaster! Hire competent strong persons to handle fires!
Who cares what fire fighters look like? Well, in some situations height can matter. Mainly you just want them to be brave and tough. If they have protective gear you have no idea who they are or what they look like underneath.
