Gee... the racism described in this story is not the graffiti but the leadership. I guess hussein gives black racism a pass these days. Some jerk writes ignorant crap on a wall so let's screw whitey. How is that different from 200 years ago and “Let's get a rope”?

Under very limited circumstances that might be true for a few individuals. I served in the Navy with (and worked for) a black guy from the south who was a leading seaman, knew the jobs well and had a knack for supervising them. But he simply could not deal with the feetwide exams for promotion to third class petty officer, no matter how hard he studied.

Thinking back, he might have been dyslexic or had some other learning disability, unknown to us at the time. He was eventually given the opportunity to take the exam orally, did very well and got the promotion.

But things like that are on a case by case basis; this article makes it sound like testing at all is discriminatory.
