The state has canceled the upcoming fire civil-service promotional exam and “will not score” the recent statewide exam for police in light of a recent Boston-based court case.
The court case in question is Tatum et al v. Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a suit from several Black or Hispanic police officers filed back in 2009 as they claimed that the civil-service sergeants’ promotional exam disadvantaged minority test takers, leading to lower scores and therefore delayed or missed promotions through the centralized and highly regimented process used by many police and fire departments.

Sure thing. Just give our promotions based on race, gender and bootlicking.
Lol!!!! So they are saying our black and brown brothers and sisters have a lower IQ than white people so they need to be graded differently? When is this madness going to end?
The present case at the Supreme Court seems poised to do just that.
Translation: We’re not able to compete, but don’t you dare call us inferior.
These tests were put in place to ensure the best candidates obtained the
local government positions.
Now what? Okay, you’re Black, you’re Hispanic, you’re in. You know that’s next.
I’m a teacher and got my insurance property and casualty licenses easily and I’m no genius. Because of the test I learned everything there is to know about the subject. That’s why there’s a test.
I have yet to see a single example of how these tests are discriminatory and disadvantage minorities. SO...
This leads me to believe that those filing suit are either making an odd admission that the supposedly “affected minorities” really are incapable of passing a test that any human with enough brain to be a fireman or police officer ought to be able to pass with their eyes close... OR
They are racist towards themselves - wrongly believing that minorities are not smart enough to pass said tests.
One’s “mind”, when boggled too many times, loses all ability to care...
The average American IQ, currently around 60, is still on a steep descent toward 20...
anyone know where to get a copy of this ‘racist’ exam?
I sure would like to look through it just to see how it causes blacks and browns to score so low.
Just wait, soon med school will cut the exams too.
Nothing new
My 1st hand experience was when I considered joining the city fire rescue where I live.
This was back in 1978 or ‘79.
Of course way before computers, I saw an ad in the paper stating job openings for fire rescue training program so I went to city hall to apply.
When I found the job board there it was in capital letters:
“Hiring county fire rescue trainees”
“BLACK APPLICANTS ONLY NEED APPLY”
I ended up spending 31 years working for the DoD where diversity is king......or queen really.
All affirmative action hiring policies do is cause the mission to be less effective as it otherwise would be.....and may even be responsible for getting people killed.
What is the average IQ in the United States 2022?
97.43
This type of policy is specifically anti-white and in the end anti-American. Whites better find a voice soon, or they will be completely disenfranchised over time.
With yhe total and complete destruction of the United States of America. When we are in a state of total anarchy. That is their goal. and they have about accomplished it.
Calling all morons. Calling all morons. We need you to run into burning buildings.
The disadvantage doesn’t arise from the tests, or from the qualification standards, but from the crappy education and nonexistent family structure the minorities experience growing up. And it can hardly be unfair, because they tend to vote for it.
Let Boston burn, then.
Numerous tests are showing the same thing. A rational response would be to act on the conclusions shown by the repeated results.
Insanity rules, and so the tests were thrown out.
Math heavy, and thus racist.
