because to them, 85% is an unrealistic/unobtainable goal...

Racism is so entrenched in the Connecticut State Police that basic hiring practices ensure only a few minority troopers will even enter a training class, never mind be promoted in the ranks, an attorney representing a black troopers' coalition said Thursday.

As I recall, CT was the state that made news a few years ago by rejecting police recruit candidates because they were too smart.
God forbid anyone needs basic skills to have a job. I sat and watched a trooper try to direct traffic the other day around a fire, at a four way stop sign intersection. I would have loved to get that on video. It looked like a bad B-movie scene.
I guess they want to use the Los Angeles School System test (remember that one?):
1. Dwayne has an AK47 with a 30 round clip. If he misses 6 out of 10 shots and shoots 13 times at each drive by shooting, how many drive by shootings can he attempt before he has to reload?
2. If Jose has two ounces of cocaine and he sells an 8 ball to Jackson for $320 and 2 grams to Billy for $85 per gram, what is the street value of the balance of the cocaine if he doesn’t cut it?
3. Rufus is pimping for three girls. If the price is $65 for each trick, how many tricks will each girl have to turn so Rufus can pay for his $800 per day crack habit?
4. Jarome wants to cut his 1/2 pound of Heroin to make 20% more profit. How many ounces of cut will he need?
5. Willie gets $200 for stealing a BMW, $50 for a Chevy and $100 for a 4×4. If he has stolen 2 BMW’s and 3 4×4’s, how many Chevy’s will he have to steal to make $800?
6. Raoul is in prison for 6 years for murder. He got $10,000 for the hit. If his common law wife is spending $100 per month, how much money will he have left when he gets out of prison and how many years will he get for killing her since she spent his money?
7. If the average spray paint can covers 22 square feet and the average letter is 3 square feet, how many letters can a tagger spray with 3 cans of paint?
8. Hector knocked up six girls in his gang. There are 27 girls in the gang. What percentage of the girls in the gang has Hector knocked up?
Anyone who believes that any government agency actually practices racism against blacks or other so called “minorities” is just plain stupid. Sorry but if you believe this you have something wrong with your brain. Probably it is missing, better have it checked.
It even says in the article that they take all the ones that score over an 85. How is this racist?
because to them, 85% is an unrealistic/unobtainable goal...
Study hard, quit worrying about whitey and do what every other examinee does for an entrance test; go to the book store and by an exam practice guide. There is no genetic difference in any reputable scientific study to suggest that race and intellect are in correlation. These folks are openly stating that black folks are not as smart as you white folks, at that is just plain silly logic. I would be embarrassed if the shoe were on the other foot and White dudes were complaining about this issue.
Did I read that article correctly? I hope I didn’t. Because if I did, that man being quoted as the guy making the accusations was saying that minorities were too stupid to compete.
Having to score 85 out of 100 is discriminatory against minorities? Is there a gene in minorities that does not allow them to function at above 80 percent?
What that man said basically translates to him claiming minorities are of lesser capability due to race, so requiring a higher score is beyond their ability, because of race.
Sounds like the kind of guy you could beat with a clue bat and only accomplish making him sore and yourself tired.
That’s exactly what the race hustler was saying. Like liberals everywhere, he disdains minorities and thinks that they are too stupid and incompetent to make it on their own. Sickening...
As a hiring manager for over 30 years, I know from experience, you can’t be racist and hope to survive. You must hire the best in order to keep your bottom line (police or private business) alive.
I thought of that great urban “everyday math” exam as soon as I read the headline!
I did not say it was racist. I said that government agencies today do not practice racism. They are too politically correct to be racist except as it applies to white people, and then of course racism doesn't count.
In the politically correct world of today it is racist to NOT give racial preferences to blacks.
ensure only a few minority troopers will even enter a training class
So, just what is it that they want? An easier test? Give me a break.
Oh, I was backing up your comments, not disagreeing with you.
The first sentence of the story is a self-contradiction. If no blaks were hired, how can there be a association of black troopers.
And how is that organization, not in and of itself, racist?
My mind is boggled.
Affirmative action is alive and well. They don’t want the job because of the color of thier skin but they want the job because of the color of thier skin.
Not so long ago members of police force in our local city engaged in some blatantly racist activities. A number of them were fired, but were then able to use the police union to get back on the force. Maybe agencies are not often racist, but agencies are made up of people and many of them are racists.
BTW I think it's an FR policy to avoid ad hominem attacks.
I didn't attack anyone, ad hominem or otherwise. If you think government agencies(not the individuals in them) are racists, against people other than whites, there is something wrong with you. The government is made up of PC idiots who want to turn us into a 3rd world communist country and one way to do that is to continuously play the race card, designating whites as the villian.
Yes, some individuals in some agencies are racists(very few actually)but most of them are not and they take their marching orders from the top, the top being very much anti-white. Whites are the villians(white men in particular).
BTW, if you have a problem with what I say and think it is against FR policy feel free to lodge a complaint, of course it is a liberal tactic to try to shut someone up that you don't agree with, but have at it.
