Fire Chief Posts Racist Slurs On Facebook, “Support Your Local Klan”

After posting explicit racial rants via Facebook, a southwestern Indiana native has resigned from his position as volunteer fire chief. Although he’s no longer in office and isn’t allowed back, the ex-fire fighter isn’t quite sure why anyone was upset about his inappropriate rants on social media.

According to RTV6, Chief Sean Sargent resigned from his position when authorities found him using racial slurs on his Facebook page. Sargent also admitted to being a racist who supports legendary hate organization, the Ku Klux Klan.

On multiple occasions, Sargent made it no secret that he was an avid supporter of lynchings.

“I’m just gonna come out and say it! I’m a full blown racist, I dare a dirty (racial expletive) to try and knock me out, and oh yeah! Support your local klan!!!” wrote Sargent in one of his many Facebook posts.

Along with the shocking revelation, Sargent continued with, “1000 (racial expletive) at the bottom of the sea,” and said it would be “a good (expletive) start.”

No one would ever expect Sargent for such egregious behavior, on the account that the 31-year-old worker had been a Owensburg Jackson Township volunteer for the fire department since he was 15-years-old and a chief for a year.

Despite his impeccable resume, the staff let him go and couldn’t tolerate the posts.

An emergency medical technician who’s friends with Sargent on Facebook said she was shocked when she saw the posts.

“I thought, ‘Oh he’s been hacked’,” said Andrea Artis.

She later sent a private message to Sargent, who admitted that he himself made the posts and he was indeed not hacked.

“This man is in a position of power, he has lives in his hands,” said Artis.

“If you’re going to be in uniform in your profile picture, putting that up next to it — you’re in a position of power and little kids see that and that’s wrong.”

Sargent claimed he made the posts to “get a reaction.” However, he denied they were intended to disparage any particular race and were directed at lazy people who work, have multiple children and live on welfare.

“Everyone should be a productive member of society” said Sargent.

“I have an issue with anyone who is being lazy or taking advantage of the system.”

Sargent suggested that he will never treat a citizen differently because of their racial background, especially while on duty.

“It doesn’t matter what race you are. I think this whole thing was turned into more than it really should have been.”

Sargent admitted that he “lashed out,” but totally denies that he’s racist.

“As for the KKK, I’m looking for some place where  I can be proud to be a white American,” said Sargent while stating he doesn’t believe the KKK is a racist group.

“The Klan is not about threatening people. I opened their website and started looking into the Klan, an organization you can join to be proud of your white heritage.”

The ex-chief, who has a black family member, says he could never understand why gays and black people can flaunt their pride, but people of Caucasian decent cannot.

“No matter what anybody wants to say, there is still a thing called freedom of speech,” he said.

“I can say whatever I want, whether I feel that way or not. In America, you have that freedom.”

SCRIPTURES

DEUTERONOMY 28:⁴⁷ Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

⁴⁸ Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

EZEKIEL 3:⁴ And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.

⁵ For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;

⁶ Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.

ZEPHANIAH 2:¹ Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;

² Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you.
