Is this reverse discrimination or not? That is the question!
FDNY diversity official defends decision to exclude hero white veteran firefighter who was in iconic 9/11 photo from ceremonial color guard so all flag-bearers could be black
FDNY chief diversity and inclusion officer Cecilia Loving defended the decision while testifying at a New York state Division of Human Rights trial
By way of explanation, Loving said that it was OK to swap out a white person for a black person to 'uplift our identities and our separate ethnicities in order to instill a sense of pride and community and support for one another.'
White firefighter Lt. Daniel McWilliams filed the lawsuit claiming racial bias
The lawsuit involves a 2017 incident that took place at a FDNY memorial mass honoring deceased members of a fraternal society of black firefighters
McWilliams had been selected to be a flag bearer in the mass' color guard
McWilliams said the order's president told him he could not participate in the ceremony because she had asked for an all-black color guard
