HuffPo - Firefighter Says Saving One Dog Is More Important Than A Million Black People

And we now have a racist in the White House and one heading the Justice Department.

An Ohio fire department has suspended one of its volunteer firefighters for a racist Facebook post suggesting he’d prefer to save a dog in an emergency than a black person.

Tyler Roysdon, a volunteer for Franklin Township, wrote that if he had to choose between saving a dog or a black man from a burning building, the dog would get priority, because “one dog is more important than a million n****rs.”

Roysdon has since removed the post from his Facebook page, but a screenshot appears below.

Once township officials discovered the post, Roysdon was suspended indefinitely, according to local station WHIO-TV.

He's a registered Republican. Imagine that.

He couldn't be much of a firefighter, either.
