““Disparate impact” law”
There is no such thing.
There is some precedent, but it’s very narrow.
The US DOJ Civil Rights Division could kill such nonsense tomorrow. And Jeff Sessions could order it tonight.
It’s ny, who gives a crap. Those idiots deserve whatever they get for voting for these progressives, or staying after they were elected. F* the northeast coast and the entire west cost.
Everybody has some activities they are better at doing than anybody else. Everybody has some activities they cannot do as well as somebody else.
We can ignore reality. We cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.

I don’t understand this at all. If the test was objective (who was the US president during WW I, what is the charge of an electron, etc.), how can there be any challenge?
Either you know your stuff, or you don’t.
I passed the LAST test with nearly a perfect score. It was, to me, nothing more than a slightly jumped up SAT test. If the blacks and Hispanics are having a hard time, it simply reflects their much more constricted home environment which kept them from widening their horizons. I’ll bet they didn’t have bookshelves lining the living room, with books that were actually read. I’ll bet they didn’t visit museums, zoos, etc. as a kid. I’ll bet they weren’t reading before they entered kindergarten, as I was. Nor did they seek to expand their horizons on their own, as in undergrad days. I find their excuses for “redoing the LAST exam” feeble and pathetic. I found most black and Hispanic teachers I met—with a few exceptions, of course—to be people without a broad educational background. They didn’t know from Shakespeare, they tended to believe stuff without checking it out, they tended to act on emotions rather than logic (hence the success of grifters like Al Sharpton), they didn’t know from geography unless it was their “home country”, they were not lifelong learners, and they had an inferior grasp of their subject matter. Whether you were born here in a lower socioeconomic environment or whether you emigrated to this country to live and work here, it is your obligation to make up any “cultural deficiencies” which might affect formal test scores. It is not MY obligation, as a taxpayer, to pay big time for tests to be revamped until they are at a level low enough for you to pass. I’m tired of minorities making every and any excuse for themselves as to why they can’t succeed. Having some minority friends who have towering intellects, are extremely well-versed in many subjects, and are very work oriented, I am convinced it is totally possible—if you are sufficiently motivated—to pass standardized tests without their having to be dumbed down. And isn’t having to have the tests revamped a form of calling yourself dumb?
If “Disparate Impact” then all training camps, etc for college and pro teams are racist
And sexist
And “homophobic”
The only possible reason why members of a particular group do poorly on an exam is because Evil Whites are at fault.
There is no other possible explanation.
None.
Thus, federal Judge Kimba Wood found that the fact that more than 90 percent of whites passed the LAST, but less than 62 percent of blacks and 55 percent of Hispanics did, was enough to brand it “biased” and hold the city liable...
Kimba sticking to the liberals for derailing her career.
Nature is racist.
Kimba Wood was one of Hillary’s choices for Attorney General back in 1993.
What language is it written in, Esperanto?
now most have equity of results not opportunity. I want my NBA contract.
“Thus, federal Judge Kimba Wood...”
A familiar name pops up.
