A longtime fire department employee is fighting back after being dismissed for what her supervisors called racially-charged comments on Facebook about the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson.

Crystal Eschert was a fire investigator for the Charlotte Fired Department when she took to Facebook wonder why a police shooting near Ferguson wasn't getting the same level of attention as Brown's death.

'Where is Obama?' she wrote on Facebook. 'Where is Holder? Where is Al Sharpton? Where are Trayvon Martin’s parents? Where are all the white guy supports? So WHY is everyone MAKING it a racial issue?!? So tired of hearing it’s a racial thing. If you are a thug and worthless to society, it’s not race -- You’re just a waste no matter what religion, race or sex you are!

It looks like the gal who made those comments (which I endorse) is white.

THAT'S WHY she was fired.

If it had happened that she had been black, and had made exactly the same comments, she'd still be working.
