NAACP says Eric Holder’s DOJ goes too far with race policy

In Dayton Ohio, you can get the same as a D or F on the police exam and still become a cop. The Department of Justice Civil Rights Division run by Tom Perez (the same unit that dismissed the New Black Panther voter intimidation case) is requiring Dayton to lower police exam scores to 58 and 63 percent so enough black applicants can join the force.  The Obama administration mandate is too much for even the NAACP: “‘The NAACP does not support individuals failing a test and then having the opportunity to be gainfully employed,’ agreed Dayton NAACP President Derrick Foward.”

UPDATE: The person running the section in charge of this  policy is none other than Loretta King, the person deeply involved in the New Black Panther dismissal and who gave a racially charged introduction to Eric Holder as covered previously by Pajamas.  h/t to the DOJ insider.

Well Duuuugh!!..

This should remind conservatives that not all NAACP chapters are the same. Some (very few, but some) are still quite conservative and hold to the old ways. They are populated by Bill Cosby types, who is a lifelong member. We need to work with them to solidify the Right.

One wonders what "enough" is.

This is the culmination of the dumbing down of children in school - now they can't perform in the world and have to have further dumbing down of society.

Frankly any group that organizes entirely based on skin color is racist and I don’t want anything to do with them. All these groups do is promote and “us and them” attitude.

[Jim Robinson]

Disagreeing with Obama is racist!

Yup its the local NAACP. I’m sure the National office is just fine with it.

PS—I like your tagline.

Kudos to NAACP. That policy is racist because it assumes minorities are too dumb and need "help."

On the other hand, how many of us feel comfortable having officers enforce the very laws they flunked?

This is actually worse than dumbing down.

This is The United States declaring that American Citizens with dark skin are intellectually handicapped, and are so confident of their scientific findings, have been able to accurately rate the inferiority with a specific number (handicapping).

That is so 'effed up in so many ways I can't count them.

I'd be pissed.

Good on Dayton. Holder could care less about real justice, he is an instigator of hate and trouble.

[TexasCajun]

Amazing!

The NAACP has higher standards & expectations for Blacks than the First Black President!

[jackv]

As Bush said...”the soft bigotry of low expectations.” What a terrible statement by holder... Blacks can’t do the hard stuff, are intellectually inferior?? Unreal!

[freekitty]

ROTFLOL Sure the NAAPC says this. Give me a break.
