Brickbat: He Doesn't See Color

The city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has fired police chief Larry Scirotto less than a year after hiring him, claiming he discriminated against white people in hiring and promotions. The city hired a law firm to investigate multiple complaints against Scirotto of discrimination less than three months after he was hired. According to a report compiled by the law firm, Scirotto refused to consider a white man with 20 years on the force for a position, instead focusing on two men of color, and asking, "which one is blacker." Scirotto denied asking which one was blacker. But he admitted pointing to a wall with photos of the department's command staff and saying, "that wall is too white," and "I'm gonna change that." Scirotto said he plans to file a wrongful termination lawsuit.

I make $100-200 an hour working from home. In case you recognize that’s great. cjg My partner has twins and made over $16,000 in his first month. It’s so amazing to earn a lot of money when others need to work less for it….. http://WorkStar24.blogspot.com/

But certain types of racism aren’t bad.

Skin color is the most important thing.

Let’s go Brandon.

Larry, you fucked up! You told the truth about DIE. Don’t do that.

Yet another police chief who thinks his rank entitles him to wear four stars on his collar.

Well, he certainly has discriminating taste when it comes to photography. He’s responsible for any negative developments which ensue, as he’s the one who chose to frame all this in black and white terms.

He merely contrasted the drab colorless past with his vision for a more colorful palette in the future.

Still, while making everything about skin color isn’t a crime, it’s very much a sin of the flesh!

Scirotto, a former assistant chief in Pittsburgh, was the first openly gay chief hired in Fort Lauderdale and also identifies as mixed-raced.

This guy’s hiring alone should have met all their diversity goals.
