Nothing new even in this country.

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.

Ok....I’m off my soap box
