In New York City, Racist, Communist Bill deBlasio’s Racial Purge Continues: Fire Department Hires Incompetent Blacks, and then Supports Their Harassment of White Firemen, and Violation of Latter’s First Amendment Rights

The Vulcan Society is a racially segregated organization that is comprised of incompetent black supremacists who have been politically hired by the FDNY, thanks to two racial socialists: Federal judge Nicholas Garaufis, who has lied for years about the FDNY’s exam and hiring practices, and Mayor Bill Wilhelm deBlasio.

Vulcan, Graufis, and deBlasio are dedicated to racially cleansing the FDNY of white firemen, eliminating merit as a hiring factor, and silencing any whites who oppose them.
 

Firefighter scorched over T-shirt smashing affirmative action

A veteran smoke eater is in hot water over his choice to wear a T-shirt promoting the Merit Matters group that opposes changes to the department's entrance exam.

The FDNY is hosing one of its own for wearing an ¬anti-affirmative-action T-shirt — just a week after Mayor de Blasio told city employees it’s up to them how they dress at work.

Thomas Buttaro, a 12-year FDNY veteran who works at Ladder 123 in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, faces disciplinary charges for wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with a “Merit Matters” logo while on duty.

“They’re disciplining him for something they’ve never disciplined anyone for before,” said Buttaro’s lawyer, Adam Weiss. “It’s a First Amendment issue. This is about the right of someone being able to express an opinion. It’s not about discrimination.”

Buttaro, who is white, got into hot water in May 2012 after he and a black colleague argued over a lawsuit filed years earlier by the Vulcan Society, Weiss said.

The Vulcans, a fraternal group of black firefighters, won a discrimination lawsuit last March that resulted in a $100 million settlement to minorities after the FDNY entrance exam was ruled biased.

Merit Matters — self-described as “an advocacy group dedicated to preserving merit in FDNY testing” — is opposed to changing the admissions process to give minorities a leg up over white recruits.

Buttaro believes he was within his rights to wear the T-shirt.

“[The other firefighter] was talking about the lawsuit. My client said something to the effect of ‘Stop whining,’ and [was told], ‘I don’t like your shirt,’ ” Weiss said. “He [his colleague] filed a complaint a week or two later.”

The FDNY didn’t bring charges until September 2013, said Weiss.

A week ago, de Blasio said teachers were within their rights to wear NYPD T-shirts in school to support cops following a teachers-union-backed protest against police brutality on Staten Island.

“How you should comport yourself at your workplace, and the individual choice you make — that’s up to the individual,” the mayor said at the time.

A de Blasio spokesman and the FDNY declined to comment on Buttaro’s case.
The Vulcans did not return calls.

An FDNY source noted the department has stricter rules than the school system because it’s structured along paramilitary lines.

“We have rules about what you can wear in the firehouse,” the insider said. “We’re a uniformed agency. You can’t wear this in the firehouse. Our lawyers are going to argue that this was intentional and designed to antagonize a colleague.”

The source also claimed Buttaro wore other, more offensive shirts, but Weiss says he only wore them off duty, including one which says, “MADD: Minorities Against Dumbing Down” and “getting it the old fashioned way — earning it.”
