This is a tacit admission that blacks are, indeed, lower achievers (which is CULTURAL and not race-based) than whites and that the only way to support the desired outcome in hiring/promotion is to dumb the tests down so they can pass. And that is exactly why affirmative action programs are so destructive to those whom they supposedly help. My solution would not be to dumb anything down, but to work on improving the culture. When minorities embrace a culture that celebrates success and achievement, then they will do well on the exams.

For three decades the city has steadily made progress in assuring that the ranks of our police and fire departments more truly reflect all of SyracuseBy what statistical quirk would you expect every job classification to be evenly and equally distributed by race (a wholly arbitrary classification - see BH Obama)?
