This is terrible news for all minority applicants

White people get most of the jobs because there are more white people

Then how come there are more African Americans in jail than whites?

The black pilot should be given enough training to pass his type ride.

they commit more crimes because they arent given the chance to succeed in the world.

Affirmative action = all other things being equal. Given that your grammar and spelling are horrible, my guess is that you'll not fit the cerebis paribus clause. Learn to write--I'm sure your Congressman will appreciate it.

 

[Paladin]

Asuming your correct with the law, then I'll write my senator and ask him to amend the constitution to allow congress to overturn a supreme court ruling.

I'd first start with learning the difference between 'their & there' and 'your & you're'. You lack even an 8th grade grasp of the English language.

...a mind is a terrible thing to waste. You're proof.

I'm going to take a crack at this one...BECAUSE THEY GET ARRESTED MORE OFTEN!!

Their (There) needs to be a fare (fair) way for us minorities(say what??) to get a chance go(to) get ahead. Affirmative action provides that chance. White people still get most of the jobs, so by giving us a preferential chance(say what??) really doesn't hurt the majority.

First, proof that you actually mastered a grade school education would be a great starting point for advancing your career. Second, why would you want to be given a "free pass" to a job? Do you not value a sense of self-accomplishment?! The best way to advance yourself is to bust your a$$ like everyone else. I am all for fair hiring practices and believe the decision to hire someone should be based on their merits and qualifications. Work hard, study hard and prove that you are the best candidate for the job.

Hey Brown I was about to add you to my ignore list until I figured it out. I must admit that I didn't get it for a while but you have become good at it. Just a few plays on words, pepper in a few misspelled words and people bite. Congrats.

I understand your intentions. I don't like the subjects you choose to do it with but I guess anything less wouldn't bring the same results. Just remember that if you do fly for the airlines, the responses that you generate are adding to the decline of this profession. Be careful how far you take it. Sometimes it is better to let a sleeping dog lie.

 

[cksport]

Asuming (assuming) your (you're) correct with the law, then I'll write my senator(Senator) and ask him to amend the constitution (Constitution) to allow congress (Congress) to overturn a supreme court (Supreme Court) ruling.

I take it from this comment that you are just flame baiting. I hope you know more about how your government works than what is displayed here.

You tell me.

Please don't use the illusory correlation that all police are racist and that certain minorities get arrested simply because of the color of their skin.

Take a hint from my good friend, Chris Rock:

Yup, his flaming on here went too extreme this time. I doubt he even works at UPS.

Wow Sherlock, that's some mighty wicked detective work!

 

[Stifler's Mom]

Well, true. But I'm speed posting after being gone for 4-days on a trip. Not much time to think my posts through right now. Off to the next thread.

...and just to add to the original thought behind this thread. Discrimination is wrong, no matter how it plays out.

And in this case.... Reverse Discrimination.

This is terrible news for ALL minority applicants. We should all write our congressman and get congress to make a law to overturn this ruling.


http://www.usatoday.com/news/washing...fighters_N.htm

Not sure if you're being sarcastic here...

The ruling was by the SUPREME court...congress cannot over-rule them. You would have to pass a constitutional amendment, and the requirements for that are very, very hard to meet.

Brown is actually Clayton Bigsby in real life-

[QOL_is_great:)]

First, this was a PROMOTION test. Not a hiring exam. Meaning anybody taking the test is already on-the-job. They should know most of the material, what to study and taken a prep course regardless of skin color. NOBODY should need free points, extra points or a different score to pass. This exam was for an LT, CAPT or higher slot. A leadership position and who wants a leader that doesn't know how or what to do in the middle of fighting a blaze.
That's like saying the FAA should make different standards for line checks, sim checks and the ATP based on a person's skin color. Yeah, that'll go over well with the paying public. Certain groups of people need to get off the crutch, learn your job, do your job, prepare and take exams like the rest of us.

Second, I am glad that this has happened. Maybe other departments for follow. I saw it for the last 20+ years with the FDNY. Hell, the N.J. State Police use to, and I am talking 20 years ago, require a white-male score 20 to 30 points higher while taking the hiring exam (first phase of five) for the job. A white-male's score was based on how many minorities actually took the exam that day. They did a head count and of course it was on the exam too. ALL other minority from a white-female down the long list had to score a flat 60% to move on to the next phase. That's just what I want out on the streets is a 60%er. Next will be added points for the PT tests that some jobs require. The fat guys will recieve extra points since they can not do push-ups, sit-ups and pull-ups as well as the guys who are fit.

Times are changing and maybe someday it'll be simple. I was wondering when this story first broke where the ACLU, Al Sharpton and the likes who fight for civil rights where? Oh wait, they were not around because it's not a story to benefit their cause. It would not generate much grease for the correct squeaky wheel.

Regarding this story, promote the firefighters that scored the highest on the exam (with no free points) and had the best annual evaluations into the positions tested for.

Not all minorities have the welfare mentality! A lot of us have EARNED our jobs!

Oh Really?

b/c they are to lazy to go get a job, so they rob to make ends meet

That's an ignorant statement. It's not a lazy issue, it's an ability issue. less then 3 percent have the IQ required for a management job and around 20 percent have an IQ in the mental retardation level. http://www.library.flawlesslogic.com/iq.htm of course Asians score the highest

How come we have a higher IQ that allows us to be better atheletes than white people?

Asians are like computers. I like Asians.

are you serious does that deserve a reply? Are you trying to argue with statistics from many studies?

 

[Browntothebone]

stats from a white supremicist website?

[NoJoy]

Which website would that be?
