  1. Remind me we are in the 21st century what's going on in this country?

  2. Invalid lawsuit. It is anyone's right to mock anything. That being said I am a patriot for all Americans including black Americans. Resist where it matters. My friends and fellow Americans you have be held under a welfare state long enough. Decades of promises from the Democrats which have turned out to be all lies. I'm not saying Republicans will do any better but to resist against lobbyism and push to make it illegal. Corporate interests are the root of corruption and problems that face us. The gangs if the streets who exist out of desperation has the ability to spread this message. They have the streets and the ability to spread the word and to actually make a difference instead of mayhem. Everyone needs to pull together to vote these self interest criminals out of office and make things better for all Americans. No longer having to turn to crime just to survive. No longer working your life away just to survive. The criminal empire of the politician has gone on long enough.

  3. Curious as to why the captain felt comfortable to take this black fire fighter to such a “racist” party…..something isn’t right here..😕

  4. Ahhh sad mr jones feelings are hurt white saviour lawyer making bank

  5. I totally agree that was completely inappropriate and people need to be reprimanded. You know how many times I've been made fun of at work for my race. Men are so weak today.
    I think suing in the city's really gonna change everything yeah right. Looks like you're just looking for a windfall.
    Grow some balls…. I'm embarrassed for you

  6. I highly doubt this geeze you Marxist jump on anything. He got a great job and threw it away to be a Marxist and win a law suit. No character.

  7. yea yea yea….always out for the money…

  8. THE NWO LOVES THIS TYPE OF STORY BECUZ IT PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM HAVING MIXER PARTIES!!! THIS SCARES OF MIXER PARTY HOSTS!!!

  9. The only thing worng at the party is KFC buckets, could be a harmless joke, Dave Chapelle tells it all the time… I realy think this is sad.

  10. This is the type of thing that makes SURE people will not be inviting their black friends to any parties. This seems fake from top to bottom. NWO loves racism they buy adds online promoting it, I have never ever seen anything like that in my life. It sound like a political party the young man got confused & influenced by media.

  11. I would like to see a picture of some proof. I do not believe a word of this.

  12. So disgusting. Glad the captain was fired. Sad the tax payers will have to pay for this sickening mindset

  13. This is sickening. I'm glad this guy is suing the city.

  14. Good for you, brother! Out there risking your life and these land thieves acting with their usual evil.
