Quote:
A group of white firefighters who persuaded the U.S. Supreme Court to sanction their promotions over black colleagues are receiving their new badges Thursday in a ceremony that provides symbolic recognition of their victory.
The high court ruled in June that New Haven officials violated white firefighters' civil rights when they threw out 2003 test results in which too few minorities did well.
Now just by reading what little I have it seems pretty cut and dry. If it is as I understand it, the white firefighters took a test to determine whether or not they would be promoted and those test results were thrown out because other individuals failed, then that's not right at all. To say the knowledge of the white firemen doesn't count because the other guy failed and he just happens to be black is ridiculous. If that's the way the system is going to work then why lie about it or put on a charade of having a qualified fire department. Just grab the first black guy you see and make him fire chief.
I mean come on. Only liberals would want to ignore test scores and promote a guy based only on his race. I wouldn't want a brain surgeon working on me if he only got that job because of his race. Heck no!
I bet when it came down to it no liberal would either unless he was high at the time. Liberals do that a lot you know.
