WHAT an INSULT!
You know, I heard once that a person can actually study, sometimes even with other people, on their own time without being compensated or anything for civil service exams -nah, that’s crazy now that I think about it...
“I drive a ‘94 LS 400 ..love it.”
Yup! If the truckers tell me that there’s no speed traps, I usually cruise at 110/120 mph. It’s interesting to feel the car, at 85/90 mph, just settle down to the highway, and hook up. I took it up to 135/140 between Chatanooga and Nashville, but chickened out! There was still pedal left. Road And Track took it up to 165.
So if it goes A, A, B, B, B, C, C, C, C, D, F, F, and you can only take 4 guys on you would get the four groups:
A, A, B
B, B, C,
C, C, C,
D, F, F,
Hire the first in each and end up with one A one B one C and one D?!
Or did they not bother with the scores at all unless some lawyer came poking around and just went strictly by color/patronage?
Yup (my former wingman (bar, not aviation) until he got promoted yet again) was a black guy who never went to college. He busted his butt for twenty years in every position available in the chain fast-food, restaurant business.
Today, he makes 3 time what I make (high 6 figures) as EVP for a $6 Billion a year multinational. He hates being treated as “black”. He always says “I’m American and I’ll whip your ass at work because I’m better than you.”
He’s also pretty smooth with the ladies which is why he was my wingman!
True. But the subculture associated with black people does affirm stupidity and degeneracy.
I'm not being "racist." My statement is about a certain hip hop/n!gga culture/subculture.
I wonder if I'm being too edgy here.
1. That is RACIST: For saying blacks are too stupid to make the cut.
2. That is RACIST: For giving blacks an advantage based on their skin color.
“It’s real. My department had the “rule of 3”...”
So did mine.
He earned a affirmative action Presidency first. If he was not of the black persuasion, he would not be President. I think, though, the novelty has worn off.
He's one of 225 black applicants who took the November police entrance exam now at the center of a dispute between the city and the U.S. Department of Justice. His test results are pending the Justice Department's demand that the city lower its passing score for a police exam to allow for a larger pool of black applicants, while the city argues it is trying to ensure it hires the most qualified candidates. Dayton is in desperate need of black applicants like Williams....y'know, because the feds say so.
Cheers!
When my gall bladder blew out a couple of years ago and was hospitalized for the first time in decades, the surgeon assigned to me was black. The guy was brilliant and down to earth. My FIL knew him from a few decades back when he was an EMT and the surgeon was just starting out of med school.
His brother, also a surgeon is just as great too.
Why are they in 'desperate' need of black applicants?
“I cannot make a legal judgment on the Justice Department’s method, but there are lots of instances where competent people test poorly,” said U.S. District Judge Walter H. Rice. “What can happen in these cases, minorities are incorrectly branded as less qualified when they are infinitely qualified.”
How can this be said with a straight face considering the nature of this story? It is a fairy tale which is borne out time after time all across this country. From affirmative action, to school testing to all kinds of job entrance exams. Just more apologetic BS that makes excuses and leads to quotas and making sure that truly qualified people don't get position because of it. It also ultimately puts people at risk.
please keep me on the ping list, if there is one, for any updates on this...thanks
30 years, now retired... ;>)
No.... and no.
Yes I drive an Aztec. Our dogs love their dog mobile. The price was reasonable when we purchased it. I call it a collectiable. My husband & family get a good laugh at that.
Why should it be serious about diversification? It should be serious about the citizens in its trust. Diversification is just another way of saying racism. Call a spade a spade.
Why should a city be serious about reverse racism?
25 years, retired too.
