The key to this case is who is putting up the money for a lawyer from Ohio handling a questionable case in Connecticut.

you know, someone needs to stop and think that one of these days these guys are liable to show up on the same fire and will need to work together

It's bad enough to be given extra consideration in promotion or hiring when competing for a job.

But here, it doesn't even matter how far ahead the whites and the few hispanics are in skill or knowledge of the job in deserving an opportunity.

Equal opportunity my a$$.

Hasn't this *very* matter already been resolved by the SCOTUS?

NEW HAVEN — Attorneys for a group of black city firefighters Monday filed a motion asking a federal court to halt the promotion of 10 other firefighters

Ive seen way way way too many more qualified WHITE firefighters passed over for black nitwits who have to pull the race card for promotions....it sickens me.

The black firefighters should write a book.....

“The Audacity of Dopes.”

It's an embarrassing spectacle. Enough already - promote the firefighters who scored well on the test and be done with it. This whining and serial litigation benefits no one - especially the community that these firefighters have been hired to serve.

>> Study Hard, Pass the next test and get promoted next time already! <<

Like my Dad used to say, if most people spent as much energy as they do pissing and moaning about how unfair the world is getting their asses in gear they wouldn’t have to piss and moan about how unfair the world is.

not just firemen but in MA there is the MBTA which has many minority idiots who are not qualified and think about the police too.

It’s scary knowing that a black guy got the job he was not qualified for and he has to try and save my family of house

get the jobs the proper way, you earn it

“the reason why we are doing that is because we think you’re just too thick to compete against whites”

Actually, the reason is that white people in the past were bad, so white people and others should now be forced to pay. You know, “reverse racism”.

I’m amazed by the number of black racists in this country. They believed they’re entitled to the horn of cornucopia because fools elected a thieving ghetto pig to the whitehouse.

Hey, morons, obuma don’t care ‘bout you.

attorney Dennis R. Thompson of Akron, Ohio, assisted by attorney Christy Bishop

Akron Oh. is nowhere near New London Ct.

The pair are a husband and wife, and their cases (per their website) mostly representing black clients.

The wife's professional memberships include

Are you aware that there were thousands of black slave owners?
