I call BS...this is New Haven all over again.
Cutting to the chase...
Yes, Garaufis is a Clinton scumbag, and therefore must be presumed to be corrupt to the core.
A real piece of sh%%.
“A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that New York City intentionally discriminated against black applicants to the Fire Department by continuing to use an exam that it had been told put them at a disadvantage.”
I don’t get it. Just what kind of test could that be? Where are those details? Give me a break.
Buffy and Chip's house burned down after a dinner party with a Mediterranean theme in which candles were placed too close to the drapes.
What wine was served with the entree?
I wonder if those same black applicants would do any better if the tests were all written in ebonics? Ahh... I suspect that the “remedy” will end up being separate tests, one for whites and a very different one for blacks.
What’s ironic is that every time a judge makes a pandering, idiotic, racial preference ruling like this one, a few scattered Democrats take notice and finally pull their heads out of their behinds. The cumulative effect can only help save decent, traditional America in the long run.
Back in the 70’s in the Northeast the civil service written exam consisted of a test that had all questions coming out of book on Firefighting that the applicant had in his possession to study months before the exam. That was ruled not fair to minorities! The answers are in the book you were given. The test material was on the job you were applying for, Firefighting. Do we test doctors on how to run electrical wires in a commercial building??? No, we test them on their medical knowledge. This country is so screwed up it is beyond repair.
How can a test be discriminatory? Maybe it was not given in a oral fashion with the questions read to the applicants and the applicants giving oral answerer's? Thus not requiring them to be able to read and write?
I’d like to see a copy of the exam !
Now think about this for a minute.
If it is easy to develop a test where blacks score lower, even if one tries hard not to, and almost impossible to devise a test where whites score lower, this tells us a lot about the populations we are testing.
Did the city insist on long form birth certificates?
The test required applicants to read the questions.
Reading is discriminatory.

“had a discriminatory effect on black applicants”
The money quote.
An unbiased test is irrelevant to these scam artists.
Outcome is everything.
