Sure thing. Just give our promotions based on race, gender and bootlicking.

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.

"Sure thing. Just give our promotions based on race, gender and bootlicking."

Back in 1984, NY State held a promotional Correctional Sergeant's exam. We didn't know it at the time, but once the scores came out, it was decided that they would be giving minorities extra points. I'm a white female. I got a 92, and was told by the prison Superintendent that I would probably be promoted within the year. Five years later, I finally got my promotion, while I saw people who had scored lower than me on the test, promoted far earlier than me...people who never would have been reached on the list any other way. I lost time in title, and the increased salary that went with the promotion for years because of those extra points. The funny thing is, that at the time, NY State had far more blacks and hispanics working in uniform in Corrections, than white females, yet we were not considered a minority. It was the one and only time that they offered extra points to minorities on Correctional Civil Service exams.

I did the remaining years of my career as a Sergeant. Took the Lieutenant's test, but chose not to accept any offers if they ever came, because I wasn't willing to give up the seniority I had as a Sergeant, and start all over again as a Lieutenant in another prison downstate. It wasn't worth being inconvenienced just to get a few bucks more, along with the responsibility that went with it. If I needed extra money, I'd just work overtime, or get a second job. I retired in 2003. I start my 20th year of retirement next month.
