Time for men to be men again, to be able to bust balls again without acting like a bunch of pussified women. I cringe at my own generation on the young end, they are the weakest generation of males that's ever been born on this soil. It's humiliating.

It's ok to poke fun at stereotypes and have a laugh at ourselves as long as it's well intentioned.

should he be fired? should the other fire fighters just take it as a joke or unintentional pun? maybe, maybe not.
with that being said, you'd have to be truly truly moronic if you think there is absolutely nothing at all wrong with bringing in watermelon to a station that is 90% black. and if you need to have it explained to you, then you're just being obtuse. if I was the fire chief, I definitely would have terminated him simply because if you can't exercise good judgement at a job that requires the ability to THINK and ACT where lives depend on it, then you should be canned. there's no two ways about it.

So glad I don't know these victims irl. I make racists jokes to black strangers when I'm out too. They love it. It's a way to show you I'm not afraid of offending you bcI truly don't hold racist thoughts against you. They pick up on that.

I for one wouldn't be offended, I'd probably think it was funny. I don't even like watermelon, not the taste (it's alright), but it's very messy and I don't like eating it majority of the time. But black people get offended over these things because of the history. How many times do I got to say it. I mean if someone told you to bring the best meal that should show gratitude, and many people there are black, and you bring chicken, watermelon, and koolaid, and you think people aren't going to "wtf?" at you? People aren't retarded, your intentions are very clear. Either you're trying to be funny (and to some in poor taste) or you're very ignorant or just some racist idiot.

This racial obsession with food is retarded at. Anyone remember that video of that anchor on some morning news show asking some black chick on the show if she brought Kool-Aid for their cookout thing she was doing on the show? Everyone immediately Bert stared him on the show for it, and half the misc freaked out about it. I chit you not, I never knew that kool-aid was considered a "black food/beverage" item until seeing that stupid chit.
People need to get over the racial bullchit over petty things like being offended by fkn food. People need to grow up already. I won't lie though, even if it was truly an inoccent gesture, the guy was pretty socially unaware to not realize that that watermelon thing wouldn't go over well in a society where claiming you voted for Trump gets you labeled a Neo-Nazi KKK member racist bigot. That being said, unless he said/did something along with it that made it a clear cut racist gesture, he shouldn't have been punished over that, and certainly not lost his job for it.
