[joseph29118]

I do not necessarily think that the White firefighters were being slighted for political correctness. Another way of looking at the statue is that it is not about the individuals that performed the action of raising the flag. Rather, it is about the duty performed in the wake of a national tragedy that affected pretty much everyone in the country. The statue does not necessarily have to be about specifc firefighters, but about the ‘role’ firefighters took in the tragedy. If we see it that way, race becomes secondary.
