This book should sell in the pure fiction area. How can lies be published. I've been a Hampton Firefighter for 12 years. The only racial slurs I've ever heard were made in private, and meant to be private only. I'm one of the people accused of making racial slurs, and I can tell you that they were all done in the privacy of the fire house. When the bell rings, my racist beliefs stay at the fire house. I treat blacks as good as I treat whites.
