FDNY SUED

[Joe Gutfeld]

The Fire Department of New York City is being sued by the federal government because the entrance exam is too tough for blacks.  Only 3% of the firefighters in the city is black.  That is not enough for them.  What do you think?

Someone in a high-level position at Wal-Mart was interviewed and said that to promote diversity, appointees to top administrative positions will be proportionate to the applicants.  For example, if 15% of the applicants are Black, then at minimum, 15% of the administrators mut be Black regardless of qualifications.

What do you think about what happened to the FDNY?

[Hail Columbia]

Screw the federal government.  Where the hell in the Constitution does it say that the federal government has the power to pull this dreck?  The last time that I had checked, the XIVth Amendment contains no provisions whatsoever for racial quotas of any kind.

[Joe Gutfeld]

Well, they did. Like it or not.

[Hail Columbia]

Well, they did. Like it or not.

Like it or not?  What kind of reply is that?  There's something called the Xth Amendment, in which undelegated powers are reserved to the states, which renders this lawsuit to the dreck can.  Why doesn't this state, invoking the Xth amendment, have the balls to tell the federal government what they can do with that lawsuit?

People badly misinterpret that amendment.

I'm sure this is not the case. The federal government would never say that things are easier for whites than blacks. Is it not just the federal government sueing because the exam is too hard, and the assumption is being made (probably correctly) that this is an example of affirmative action for [censored]?

[Johnson Brown]

The government is suing because they said the test is racially basis against black.
Now here is the question, how if everyone takes the same test can it be racially basis, this is one of the reasons blacks will never be equal to whites.

Nic, are you joking? Or British?

For 40 years, it has been federal law, upheld by the Supreme Court, that things must be made easier for blacks than whites. Instead of chasing terrorists and criminals, the U.S. Justice Department spends half its time prosecuting "bias" and "discrimination" cases - but only in cases where blacks are the "victims."

On September 11th, Chaim was in the Chambers Street subway station, almost directly under the World Trade Center, when he saw a black "criminal in blue" - a terrified black New York police officer - running out of the station so fast, and so far ahead of everyone else, that he dropped his radio and never bothered to come back for it, even though there was a life-threatening emergency in progress.

Possibly if the test is asking about aspects of white culture and not the [censored] hip-hop culture 

Dissenter, I was making assumptions that no American organisation would ever admit to blacks being lower than whites.
