There is a term for those “Plaintiffs”, but as I can’t USE IT.. i’ll settle for ... WHining LIBERAL CRYBABIES

Sniveling wussies ping!

[TheThinker]

Black racists run amok.

[Hodar]

halt the promotion of 10 other firefighters (including four minorities) who scored well enough on 2003 exams to be promoted.

I guess scoring well on a test 6+yrs ago isn't enought time for these people to get promoted?? This seems more than a little ridiculous; waiting 6+ years to get a promotion.

WHAT

I thought this was all cleared up by the top court.

Why should they get a promotion when they were clearly not good enough?
I am fed up of hearing that someone should get a job or something because they are black , chinese, homosexual,etc.

Here’s a novel idea.
Give the promotion to those who are qualified and if you want that promotion then study HARDER THAN EVERYONE ELSE.

MLK said he wanted a color blind nation then these black idiots need to understand that and understand that you should not be given things because of your color.

[4yearlurker]

Sooo...they can't pass the test because they are black??

[a fool in paradise]

That’s racist.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

But wee wuz tole dat we’d get promoteded no matters wat!!

[dalebert]

more from the “i am entitled” group

[headstamp 2]

So now every promotion in the NHFD will have to be heard by the USSC?

This is what you get with Affirmative Action Bullsh**.

[clintonh8r]

Get your promotion the old fashioned way....earrrrrrn it!

[Nea Wood]

Halting the promotions of their fellow firefighters...good way to make themselves HATED! Do they really think they’re going to get any sympathy for their “cause”?

[ardara]

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

[RichInOC]

So they don’t believe fire officers come that big in white?

[Gay State Conservative]

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

[Snurple]

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.

[edge10]

No talent. No shame.

[khnyny]

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.
