All parties agree that the exam was absolutely "race neutral" and centered only on the specialized knowledge required for competent fire fighting and control. The consequences of the Supreme Court decision will be momentous. If the Court rules against the plaintiffs, this will be affirmative action on steroids. It will not only have continued the politicized favoritism of the less competent and qualified but it will seriously endanger public safety. Tragically, what would once have been simply a matter of common sense fairness is now turned into a bizarre Orwellian perversion of our entire constitutional justice system.

I saw it happen down here, a brother in law scored very well but no dice, he was told off to the side to paint himself black.

Because we are taught to be peaceful and law abiding this is being used against us now by the Racist Government!

If the first time they pulled that Crap we Rioted in the street and broke the place up real good then our children would have a fair chance in life.

I saw the CSpan coverage with the ABW (anybody but white) NAACP carping about the test. Disgusting!!

Look in the paper for “Diversity” job fairs.

Diversity is code for “No Whites Allowed”

Herr Hussein is going to institute this - the American Apartheid!

Want some fun? Go over to the DUmmies board, and watch the moonbats tie themselves in knots over this subject. Anyone who dares suggest that what New Haven did was wrong is shouted down.

I read the briefs and the transcript of the oral arguments. The white firefighters are going to win by at least 6-3.

It isn’t just a problem with the “wrong” colored individuals being denied promotion. Talk show host Mike McConnell received a call last week from a man whose father was a fireman in a big eastern city (Pittsburgh?). Sometime in the recent past a fifty-two year old woman applied to become a fire fighter in the city’s fire department. The department was forced to give the woman the test. The woman could not identify most of the basic pieces of fire fighting equipment. (The caller described it as like someone taking a test to be a chef, and not being able to distinguish a ladle from a strainer.) But the city put pressure on the fire department to find a test the woman could pass. This country is run by morons and will be the death of us all.

There is no such thing as reverse discrimination. This is discrimination. It does not matter what color you are to be discriminated against.
